Hey everyone!
I need some feedback on the first (ok - 4th if you count garage made board games
) game I've created, Galactic Council.
The current site (found at
http://bit.ly/ZXemhn) is a working prototype for a much larger vision, a community driven game website where members are encouraged to try their hand at card, rule, lore, and content creation - all under the umbrella of the game universe's lore (each player represents a member of the Galactic Council, battling other members for territory and resources and voting on how such battles are played out.)

Create-A-Card Feature
I've built the game's framework using web technology (HTML5, php, jquery, ajax), allowing for faster prototyping, frequent updating, and a bevy of stat tracking. This means that you don't need to download anything to play the game (not even flash), just grab an up-to-date version of Chrome, FireFox, or Internet Explorer and start playing. This is one of my design philosophies - allow players access to their player accounts anywhere, on any browser-capable device.
While you are there, you can read a bit more about the overall goals of the project here:

http://www.samthewebsiteguy.com/galacticcouncil/contact_page.phpI am super serious about this project, I am dedicated to creating a game environment that is directed by and for the community that plays it. I would appreciate any feedback - if it would keep you from coming back to the site, I'd like to know about it so I can fix it. A concept like this just won't work without happy & contributing players!
Thanks for your time guys,
