Folks,
Attached is a Schmiegel v2.0 table setup for use on
https://playingcards.io/This will allow you to learn and play Schmiegel v2.0 with another person online.
I have no affiliation with playingcards.io, and the service is free.
Instructions:
(1) Download the table setup file from the following link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/10tvb1tf1ffd31r/Schmiegel-v2-0_Setup.pcio?dl=0 Make a note of where you save the file.
(2) Go to
https://playingcards.io/(3) Scroll down, then click on the "Other/Custom" image on the bottom of the game options.
(4) Click on the "Start Game" button.
(5) Make a note of the link above the "Enter" button. This is the link you will share with another person to play online.
(6) Press the "Enter" button.
(7) Click on the "Edit Table" icon, which is on the top left, looks like a briefcase, and is just below the three-lined icon.
(8) Click on the words "Room Options".
(9) Click on "IMPORT FROM FILE".
(10) Navigate to where you downloaded the table setup file from step #1 and select the file.
(11) Click again on the "Edit Table" icon to move you out of editing mode.
(12) You are ready to play!
You start by clicking on the "Set Up" buttons next to the face deck and the number deck. Once automatically dealt to the bottom of the screen, the stack of six number cards must be moved only by each respective player to the bottom corner for the "A" or "B" side on which they plan to play. This will place the cards into their hand. Click on the number tab on the top left of the stack indicating the amount of cards to drag the entire stack.
Each player can then click on each of the four face cards on their side of the spinner to flip them face up. Spin for the highest number to see who goes first. Setup is then complete and play begins.
The main difference from the rules given in the original post is that the online setup uses a spinner (rather than two dice) to determine the numbers in battle. If a player's spin is one or it matches an associated card for their character in battle, they win the battle. This changes the strategy slightly, but is good for ease of use and learning. Players can use the checker piece on their side to indicate their character in battle by placing it beside the character.
It may take a bit of additional tinkering to figure out the table setup. See the playingcards.io site for further instructions.
Hope you enjoy.
