Unlike customizable or collectible card games, however, each Yomi deck is complete and balanced, meaning once players have acquired a particular deck there is no need for them to buy more cards to improve their deck.

In a game I co-designed with Matt Greenleaf, which is currently unpublished, I had come up with a mechanic that was whenever a player made a move, the game state would either go to imbalance or balance. As monks we can only win once we are in perfect harmony, which requires strategic placement of garden tiles to balance our own inner state.

Balance is in a better state now too. So I want to include the 3 extra Pandante casino cards for all kickstarter backers (not part of the retail products) at all levels. I’m pretty happy about the adjustments to the core system we’ve done. No stretch goal, you just get it. Pandante and Flash Duel kickstarter link.)

If you replaced Gamestop with a staid company like Sherwin-Williams Paint, retail traders would show far less interest. For example, a balance patch to Skyweavers that changes the power (and thus price) of different cards will shake up the market considerably. One method is to reset player skill levels by changing the rules.

Oliver Harbour tolerated his retail management job, but it didn't fulfill him. So learning this balance was a big thing for me.

So, Oliver enrolled in CG Spectrum's Advanced Digital Illustration Course.
