BronyCon 2016: The Playable Pony Panels

BronyCon 2016: Full Playlist

Here's a little something for those of you who may have missed it! BronyCon's YouTube page has recently put up a playlist of full videos for what I assume is pretty much every panel from this year's convention, including quite a few horse game-related panels which we've compiled below the break for your viewing pleasure! Horse game panels ahoy!

Card Game: Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder

Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder

This fandom has a lot of shipping. A ludicrous amount, actually. There are some problems with the shipping, however: it's not interactive, and has a tendency to take itself way too seriously. Fortunately, the shipping present here suffers neither of those problems. Instead, players are treated to a humorous card game with a surprisingly deep level of strategy

The card games are multiplying! Just a few weeks ago, they were practically off my radar.

As I Recall: Friendship is Magic is set in a universe where Equestria has been blasted out of existence. As a human, you must use your memories of characters and events within the show (represented by cards) to restore Equestria to the way it used to be.

To play, each player must first build a deck (ideally, one affiliated with a certain Element of Harmony) from the 360+ cards provided. At the beginning of the game, players must build up their supplies of the Elements, which act as mana pools and enable them to play ponies and items. While hindering your opponents is a valid strategy, the game revolves around reaching the 30 harmony points needed for victory. Enjoy!

Ponified Magic the Gathering: The Complete* Round-up

I've seen plenty of ponified Magic the Gathering cards before, but I've never played the game myself. Today, I headed to DeviantArt to put together a post - and was absolutely blindsided by the scale of the game.

Below the break, I've rounded up a long list of galleries and tried to make sense of it all. I can't guarantee that every set's balanced, but I'm sure you can put together one heck of a game! Buckle up - this one's a doozy.

Two Argentinian blokes who called themselves Silly Mare Games (creators of Stroll) were playing Tales of Eternia's "WHIS" minigame when one of them decided that it needed more ponies, and recreated it in Game Maker. It has a pretty main menu and nice music, but unfortunately I can't exactly review it since I'm not sure how one should grade a card game. Kind of a shame that it doesn't have multiplayer, but hopefully the developers decide to implement it fairly soon.

Oh yeah, and it works well enough in Wine, if agonizingly slow. As with all Game Maker games you should install directmusic and dsound via Winetricks/PlayOnLinux in order to have working audio, but since it runs so slowly on Linux you might want to skip the game altogether. Then again, I did manage to complete the entire game of SuperTux on my old Linux box while running the game at about 5fps, so don't let extremely low framerates stop you!
