Local Multiplayer?
I was curious if it was supported. With an AV cable, this would be a cool game to play wtih some friends. Simply swapping around a mini-laptap for a game like this would be cool.

Unfortunately, there is no local multiplayer whatsoever :dealwithit:.

Really? That stinks. Hopefully they make an update to it. Not sure how long this game has been out, but that seems like a given.

Local multiplayer being added later on is virtually unheard of.

Usually it's online multiplayer that gets updated.

It is safe to say that if there's no local multiplayer by now—there will never be any.

Local multiplayer is a frequently-requested feature. It would require ironing out some details of implementation, especially regarding how many stars/xp are rewarded after a match and how to deal with the issue of hiding cards from other players.

Stars can be awarded specifically based on the sole victor, so you won't get a ridiculous amount of earnings from having 4 players all at once. Yeah it's exploitable, but nowhere near as exploitable as having all 4 players be awarded stars as if it were an online match.

As far as hiding cards goes, it can be as straightforward as not displaying the card faces unless it's that player's turn to do something. Hotseat multiplayer does this a fair amount in order to hide what each player is doing strategically; all they must do is confirm that they're at the machine. It may get a little clunky during battles but it's workable. The most that can be done at that point is have players with the trust in one another to not peek.

Well, you could probably LAN with multiple copies of the game. The only way to play multiplayer before was to directly connect to the host's IP address. Can even grab the DRM free version for that purpose.

But an actual hotseat type mode would be kinda hard since any player might need to take action during anyone else's turn, but even without battles, you'd still want to see what's happening at any given moment. Hiding cards just won't ever be possible on a single, shared screen.

Shame a game in this style doesn't even have local MP. Seems like a no brainer.

Better to bring back an old thread with several supporters than start yet another new one.
