# Game Design

## MVP Game Loop

- roll like 4 randomly generated kaijuchan per "hand"

- player rolls 3 hands, has a chance to buy kaijuchan from each

- build a full hand by the end of the last pull

- gauntlet run aka roguelike loop through combat rounds:

  - roll new hand

  - fight them (compare of single stat like hp or charisma)

  - can copy one kaijuchan per round

  - copies go into storage

- manage kaijuchan team between combat rounds

- progressively roll higher and higher level kaijuchan to fight against

- catch and rotate higher level kaijuchan into your team to keep up

- go for highest number of rounds before you either

  - lose all your kaijuchan in combat or 

  - "retire" a full team of kaijuchan (retiring takes them out of your party and storage for this run)

## Better Combat:

- game engine (combat actions/field actions X items/kaijuchan moves)

- currency

- items & inventory (example items that up each stat and teach a small handful of kaijuchan moves)

- shops

in between gauntlet runs: sell kaijuchan cards, buy items, use items to increase your party's stats

## Game Client:

- game client (tkinter)

- title screen

- view kaijuchan

- begin combat run

- buy items

- view gameplay stats and retired teams

## Towns:

- transit menu

- can travel to electricity, earth, water, or normal town

- each town restricts gauntlets to kaijuchan of their type

- each town has an npc that you can talk to between gauntlet rounds

- each town has its own currency and item shop
