Lingo Kardz

Prototype for a game to learn a foreign language by ear.

A card game à la Yu-Gi-Oh.

Each card represents a word/phrase in your target language.

Each battle has 1 elemental sound for attack, a 2nd sound for defense, and a 3rd sound common to attack and defense.

The first 2 sounds are set for the whole battle. But the 3rd sound changes every 5 turns.

The power of a card is how many times the sound(s) appear in its audio translation.

Example: 

You have the card "the purple lion."

Its German translation sounds like "dɛɾ liːlɑː løːvə."

If you're in a battle where the attack sounds are [ɛ] and [v], then your card's attack is +2.

If the defense sounds are [l] and [v], then your card's defense is +4.

Another situation: If the sounds were [b], [g] and [p], then your card would be worthless.

Well, the gameplay sucks. You end up clicking and listening to the sounds over and over again & it's just not fun.

I'm not uploading anything because the file size is too big with all theai pictures.
