Subject: Re: a new game idea
tippyc: You know, long time ago, I thought that card games would be a nice addition. But then I realized that most card games don't work well on sites where there can be days, if not weeks between moves, and one game could last half a year, or longer. See, with go or chess or checkers, or most other games here, whenever you see a board, you see all the information. History is not important - you base your move on the current position, and it doesn't matter how you got there.

But that is quite different with card games. Previous played card matter. In some games, knowing which cards have been played, by whom, and in which order, is vital. And that works well when you play a card game face-to-face. You play on game at the time, and it's finished in a reasonable amount of time. Playing a myriad of games at once, streched over long periods of time just isn't the same. Even if you had a game history to browse. (Which you normally don't have).

Don't get me wrong. I love card games. I love them even more than board games. I just don't thinkt they will work well on a turn based site.
