Gentlemens Draft

Gentlemen's Draft

Rounds-style card picking for A Gentlemen's Dispute, built on the game's official mod loader.

Everyone in the lobby needs the same version installed.

How the card phase changes

• After each round the players pick one at a time, and every picker gets a freshly rolled full set of cards.
• The round's winner does not pick.
• Whoever has won the fewest rounds picks first (ties are random), so the players who are behind choose before the leaders.
• Each pick has a 15 s limit. If time runs out, the game picks a card for you as usual.
• Nothing else changes: the same cards, the same perk rules, one perk per picker.
• If nobody is left to pick (everyone won, for example in a draw), or in chaos mode, the normal card phase runs.

Manual install

• Close the game.
• Download this package (Manual Download) and unzip it anywhere.
• Open the game's folder: in Steam, right-click A Gentlemen's Dispute > Manage > Browse local files.
• Open the Mods folder there (create it if it is missing).
• Copy the GentlemensDraft folder from the zip into Mods, so you end up with Mods\GentlemensDraft\mod.json. Copy the whole folder, not just what is inside it; the other files in the zip (manifest.json, README.md, icon.png) are not needed.
• Start the game. The mod is loaded automatically.

• Updating: delete the old Mods\GentlemensDraft folder first, then copy in the new one.
• Uninstalling: delete Mods\GentlemensDraft.

Don't edit or add files inside the mod folder: the game checks the mod's files, and a changed folder will not match other players in a lobby.

Notes

• The card phase takes longer than usual: the card table replays its intro for every picker, so with four players expect roughly 25 to 50 seconds.
• The draft runs on the host. During each turn only the current picker's cursor is shown on the table.
• Not everything has been tried with remote clients yet. Bug reports welcome:
