Advice needed for a card game

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Advice needed for a card game

All,
I've made a turn-based card game, and I would like to add music and sound to make a nice atmosphere.

For example, I've recorded some sentence that I usually say when I play with other friends, to be played randomly (once a time) during each turn.

But this does not make the atmosphere I wanted. The sentences are in some way confusing, and while they could give some fun, in the long run they may be annoying. And there are always sentences that get repeated, more or later.

So, I've abandoned that sentence idea. I guess that simple sound effects for the game itself would do the trick. For example, when a card is picked, played, shuffled..

Also the music, I've seen that some quiet country motif fits fine for the game.

The question: how would you proceed ? How would you find out which effects to add, and which ones to avoid ?
Same question for music..

Do you have made some card game already ? If so, how did you realized the sound/music requirements ?

Thanks in advance,
Sergio.

Hmmm... nah... too easy!

OK seriously... I made a version of the Italian game Scoba. I kept it simple... card shuffle noise... Card hit noise... cards pickup noise... Scoba! (for the cpu player)... and an error noise. The background music was simple, light and low with a nice baet that I made with ACID studio... three of them in fact... a rhumba, and two chachas... drums and light guitar samples... thats it.

Thank you Rook.

Does anyone else want to add some more hint ?

Trial and error, visit http://www.flashkit.com and take a look through the ambience catagory, have some soft ambience music playing on loop in the background. Make it optional to turn on/off, then add some nice shuffle, sliding, even coughing settings, try playing a game of cards with your friends and replicate the sounds made by the cards as you use them. There arn't many sounds made while playing cards so don't worry about it being quiet too often.
