I'm making a card game. Need some input. It won't be

No much. Ultimately any categorical separation is a variant of colour types, and without that your players are simply building with the most efficient cards in the game without restriction.

Android: Netrunner, for example, seems different on the surface but can be thought of as a game with exactly two colours and requiring red v blue mono decks fight every game.

Well damn. I'm mostly doing this so I can have a system where every card in your hand can (once a turn) be discarded and added to the field acting as a resource (same effect as mana). That prevents mana flooding and mana screwing, but it makes it hard to separate types.

I like the system of cards being able to generate a resource of their color/type when they're tapped, but those cards are designated when they're played in a specific resource zone.

But that's wrong. Netrunner has three colors on the Runner side and four colors on the Corp side.
And you almost never have mono-colored decks.

It's hard to be helpfull with only that, but let's be clear, if you start by "I want to do like this game but without this element", you're gonna have more difficulties than just trying to make your own rules.

Thanks. That makes a really good point.

You do realize that such a system is literally easier to do than lands, right?
>Cards have color
>color designates what it can tap for
>also designates cost
>hard mode: 2 toned cards cost both to cast, but can be played in either direction to indicate what they tap for

I would have loved to help you more, but I'm busy making an equivalent of /agdg/ for board game... (--> /bgmg/ <--)

Sounds like the VS Sysytem resources.

>>48383693
You can categorize in card design. Make some cards obviously synergy and nonbo with each others and presto, you got yourself colors without fucking your resource system like magic did.

That's basically how Yugioh works without colored resources.

Anon ignore the nay sayers your intitial concept will work ,by simply giving each card a 'synergy' class type at design step.
think 'Mirran' or 'Phyrexian' or 'Clan' etc. text box background symbol plus a generic (artifact) type with no class.
My meta hating colour screw created a no land format ,were any card could be played in the 'land zone' and be tapped for 1 mana of it's colours or generic ,and 1/2 mana of any other colour (alot later wizards came up with hybred mana e.g.2/R,2/W etc. that triggered nostalga in the group that has become less casual/kitchen table since then)
All went better than expected.
