Old Game Idea... New Game Idea? (Patreon)

I've always considered trying to compose some sort of card game based on my character, alien and monster creations, but I've never really had much success at making a suitable mechanic. This is a new take on the idea. It... might work. Whether or not I actually make  a proper game with it, I don't know, but I thought it might be nice to post cards as tier rewards once I've gotten enough doodle together to add art to enough of them.

The basic idea is 'party vs. monsters', with a group of characters running through a set of encounters. Each character/alien/monster has a set of stats, though only the characters have all 8. These are marked on the color wheel (starting at the top, clockwise): Strength, Agility, Health, Endurance, Intelligence, Wisdom, Willpower, and Charisma. In any encounter, it's a contest between the monster's active stats, and the stats of a character or characters depending on the situation. The point value of the card is in the center of the color wheel, and depending on the encounters, the defeated side gets put into a pile to be counted as points for the team at the end of the match.

Each character/alien/monster has one special strength and one special weakness, located to the left of the color wheel.

Each character/alien/monster also has a set of keywords related to the special strengths and weaknesses currently located at the top right.

Other cards will come into play, such as items, events, party reinforcement characters and the like. I don't really know exactly how that will work yet.
