Not sure if its a bug or not but if I charge "book of cards" with my last cards
It wont trigger.
so If it needs 17 charge and I give it that with my last 2 cards the effect wont trigger at all.
The items I used were much better anyway I was lucky enough to come across them In chests + shops that's why I didn't need my starting items.
Fourcaster
Even axe+++
Axe of kind ++
Knife +++
War hammer of (cant remember) the one that needs a straight
With these items my character Special meant nothing to me
After playing this game for about 7 hours and completing runs with most characters, I have to say this game is really fun, although I have a note.
I feel like the game is a little to focused on items rather than characters, with the right items it really doesn't matter who I have,
Actually my best rounds have been when I go with Druid sell all his Items and buy new ones and win the game without ever using his ability. making the whole character part of the Rpg seem underwhelming, otherwise a great game
the shop only resets when you buy things from it
but dont worry you items sell for the same price you buy them for
so you just gotta buy and sell to reset the shop :)
Thanks IAmTheCandyman for making this show up on recommended,this game is pretty nice also trying out a few of my own combinations i made a few nice songs maybe add some sort of record system where we can make a song and record it :P

It's not a bug, you have to put a card in it to use it. The 17 just "charges it up" so you can start using it afterwards.
