Custom Cards Tried recreating the feel of Soy Milk in an item. Is it really that bad?

I thought enough items and monsters in the game had an ability with "each time you/this deal/takes damage" for this to introduce more interesting interactions.

Would this genuinely make the game worse?

Also updated it on PFS to be a trinket loot card: https://printfoursouls.com/user/maxrinstripe/cards/c2159141-a724-48c0-9b0a-66b983addf4d

Gameplay Question why do people say Handicapped placard is bad?

3 Upvotes

Gameplay Question The Lost questions

First, when you play as The Lost, do you start with one soul? If not, why is there a +1 soul icon in the bottom right corner of the card?

Second, his starting item is Holy Mantle. When a card says "choose a player", can I choose myself?

Discussion Question about Maestro Media promo cards

Sorry if this isn’t appropriate to the sub but I have not been able to find a straight forward answer and just wanted some clarification.
I placed the pre-order for the plushie bundle 2 set in May and subscribed to the boxes in August
Am I going to get the headless horseman promo or the monstro promo when my product actually ships? Or am I not going to get either?

Gameplay Question Question about cursed mom’s hand

1 Upvotes

Situation: I rolled a 5 and killed Wrath. Then I roll for its death effect and get a 6. What happens?

In my understanding, when a monster dies, it goes to temporary zone, death effects resolve, and then reward is paid. But what if reward is interrupted by a new effect on the stack that cancels all actions? If I don’t get the reward, is its death cancelled and it stays in place, or does it go to the discard?

Can someone help me and explain how all of this works from the stack perspective?

Released it on PFS as Untitled Evasive Boss, check it out if you're interested: https://printfoursouls.com/user/maxrinstripe/cards/1ad27178-437e-454f-b245-5953677851b2

Also ability text:

When an attack is declared on this, roll Yx, where Y is 7 minus the {d} of this. Note each result till end of attack.

Attack rolls against this that are noted on this count as hits. Other attack rolls count as misses.

Whenever this gains -1{d} while attacked, roll- note the result till end of attack.
(treat gaining -X{d} as gaining -1{d} X times.)

Whenever this gains +1{d} while attacked, remove the lowest noted result from this.

Requiem Just had my first game after a long break...

5 Upvotes

...and it was the craziest game I think I'll ever see.

I had persuaded my gf and a friend of mine to learn Four Souls (and also i had to relearn the game myself), so the match was very scuffed. We kept forgetting certain passive effects (like Mega Satan, who was literally one of the starting monsters, and so he kept getting covered and also we completely ignored his passives until very late game), my gf kept disconnecting and it was all chaotic in general... But the finale was absolutely insane...

After I finally remembered that Mega Satan exists, I immediately drew a Mega Bomb. I used it to kill my gf's character and then attacked my friend (thanks to Mega Satan): First roll - hit; second roll - miss but i tapped my character and used a soul heart on myself; third roll - miss but then i remembered I have Tape Worm, which killed my friend and thus made me the only alive player. I then promptly ended my turn, which (thanks to Mega Satan again) made me the winner.

And that's not all, my friend was one soul away from victory, meanwhile i had only one soul plus I was also cursed with Curse of Loss and Curse of Soulless. If Mega Satan wasn't there, I wouldn't be able to win.

Official Tabletop is up to Summer of Isaac

TL;DR: Long time owner of 5+ years, first time player of 3 weeks ago or so. We play online, this asshole (friend's character) in combination with having to fight Harbingers(+Beast) turn 4 until the game ended, resulted in an hour of pretty much no meaningful input from me at all.

I get that's kinda the nature of the game sometimes, but this felt excessive. Friend and I both love this game but I worry he'll get bored if games are generally too lop-sided. Nerf or ban? Any other cards I should be made aware of?

ALL OPINIONS WELCOME

Yes yes dear diary today I had a skill issue if you guys do that over here too. Yes I lost. I lost miserably. I ended with even less resources than I started with, wild stuff. I understand that chance games do be chance games, but Dark Judas felt like such an amazingly powerful ramp character that my lowly Isaac never stood a chance. At the end of the day we play for fun, but we want it to be a bit more even-sided.

If it is relevant, yes we homebrew a mulligan mechanic for characters up to two times if you start with someone you don't like. While I have you here, does anyone know if the newer sets will be added to the official TTS board? Me and my buddy have been searching for answers to no avail.

Buying/Selling Trying to figure out the best way to get the game

2 Upvotes

Title. There seems to be so many versions of the game that it's confusing me. From what I can see, the ultimate edition would be the best option since it should include everything but then I hear there is Kickstarter versions which then leads me to being more confused since at a glance they seem indentical outside of what seems like extra cards. The Kickstarter versions are what I'm seeing on Ebay.

Anyone got any advice if I should just buy the ultimate edition from the website or try to see if I can get the Kickstarter version on Ebay for a similar price if possible?

Showcase I made a Four Souls Video Game

48 Upvotes

And apparently so has everyone else, though most of them are web (or phone app?) based. This one is a regular desktop application type of video game.

This game is meant to truly emulate the experience of playing The Binding of Isaac: Four Soul in real life. Its a 3D environment with real 3D physical cards, a 3D simulated dice that gets thrown around, and 3D coins you can watch pile up. (Did I mention its 3D?)

The game fully manages all systems for you, including priority. It is impossible to cheat (other than the host actually hacking their game) and all abilities and complex interactions between them are (near) perfectly handled automatically by the game. The game is designed to specifically follow the official rules to the letter while still giving a smooth and fluid user experience.

Answers to likely questions if you don't want to watch the whole video:

  • Is it Multiplayer?
    • Yes, it uses peer-to-peer online multiplayer.
  • Can I play the game?
    • Not yet
  • When can I play the game?
    • Once I am able to make contact with Edmund and get his approval
  • Did you use AI?
    • There is exactly zero AI generated code in this game. The creation of the table surface texture and button texture was AI assisted, but that's it.
  • Will you have online matchmaking?
    • Assuming I end up distributing the game, eventually yes.
  • Will you have all official cards?
    • Yes
  • Will there be custom card support?
    • Yes, with a built in custom card builder and, if the game can be on Steam, workshop support for said custom cards.
  • Will it be free?
    • Maybe, I'm not sure yet. I've spent a lot of time to create what feels liked a real, polished video game product. If I were to charge money for it, even a small amount, that would mean more resources with which to continue developing the game. That said, it may ultimately be the case that making the game free is the only way to distribute it. Above all else, I want other people to be able to play and enjoy this game, so that is my top priority.

And I'll happily answer any other questions that didn't get covered there.

As of right now, I mostly making this post in hopes of drawing attention to the game so I can get in contact with Edmund himself. As I state in the video, I don't feel comfortable distributing this without his approval since it is his game. I'm especially not comfortable putting it on a platform like Steam (which is the only way its peer-to-peer multiplayer would be viable), even for free, without talking to him first.

Showcase Looking for Android testers: a free, fan-made Four Souls app (closed test)

Thumbnail

98 Upvotes

Hi everyone, we're Attic Works.

We're building The Attic, a free Android app for The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls, and we're looking for testers before the public launch.

It's an unofficial fan project, made with Maestro Media's kind permission to use publicly available assets. Not official, not endorsed by the publisher, free, no ads, no purchases.

WHAT YOU'D BE TESTING

• Full games against bots (three difficulty levels) with a real rules engine

• Online tables with friends (host a game, share a code)

• The Basement (a deck-building roguelike made from Four Souls cards) and the daily run

• The rulebook (searchable offline), the card library and the combo finder

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

• An Android phone and a Google account (you install it from Google Play)

• A few games over the next week or two. Even one or two sessions help.

• Rules bugs are the most valuable thing: tell us the card, what you did, and what the app did instead. Crashes, confusing screens and anything that feels slow are welcome too.

HOW TO JOIN (two steps, about a minute)

  1. Join our tester group with the Google account you use for Google Play:

https://share.google/HUXDp6KoVSqiDWkmf

  1. Then open this link on your Android phone, tap "Become a tester" and install the app:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.theattic

It can take a few minutes (sometimes a couple of hours) after joining the group until the app shows up. No payment, no data sold, no ads.

Thanks a lot, and may your D6 roll well.

— Attic Works

Gameplay Question How does Whipper work?

Hey all. I’m new to Four Souls & new to MTG-type TCGs in general so I’m still learning to understand the wording on these cards.

From what I understand so far, another player can’t just declare an attack while it’s someone else’s turn. So how would a player declare an attack on an active player’s turn? Would the effect of this card only apply if someone outside the active player is forced to fight somehow through another card’s effect?

Shipping Has anyone from Europe received their Gfuel sets already?

These supposedly shipped on the 8th of September. Tracking hasn’t updated since the 15th… i am worried these might never arrive.

Gfuel support won’t respond, and the missing gfuel promo that shipped separately didn’t arrive either.

Anyone else on a similar situation? Did you receive your promos?

I might be worrying over nothing, but no tracking updates in almost a month is really worrying.
