ShinyWidgets is a quick, brain-teasing strategy card game for one player against smart computer rivals. Draft colored parts, spend them to build widget cards, and let every card you build make your next purchase cheaper — grow an engine that snowballs toward the win.
HOW IT PLAYS
Each turn you either take parts from the store or spend them to build a card. Built cards give a permanent discount in their color, so every widget makes the next easier to afford. Score points as you go, or reserve a card to claim it before a rival can (and pocket a gold wildcard). First to the target score triggers the final round — highest score wins. Easy to learn, tricky to master.
