Hello,
I am new to Unreal and Game development, have been a software developer for many years, not involved much in C++, in C and Delphi, Visual Basic and other.
Will CCG Toolkit help me get started with my Blackjack Multiplayer game.
According to the feature list it does support multiplayer. Having access to the inner workings of the kit would be a tremendous boost - not only would it allow you to take advantage of the ready-to-go functionality, ensuring rapid development rather than reinventing the wheel, but it would also allow you to reverse-engineer its elements. It’s a learning tool to boot.
On the other hand, UE4 is a complex beast as is. Just figuring out how to put a simple game together can take months (years if you have no experience). A card game WILL be complex; a multiplayer one - even more so.
Perhaps it would be more sensible to study some tutorials first - generic engine elements; get your hands dirty with blueprint communications - a notoriously tricky subject. Figure out how multiplayer is handled. UMG - the UI is a world to explore on its own.
If you already know how the engine works and shipped a game before, buying a kit can save oh-so-many headaches and help you steer clear of gotchas you did not see coming.
Otherwise I can imagine it being exceptionally overwhelming.
I already purchased CCG Toolkit, and just get in doubt that it would be the best choice
Have been developer/programmer for a decade I have tried complicated tools, what struggle me is to find some guides that can explain Blueprint for a newbie, it sounds so great what you can do with Blueprint, another task is to find out how to use it, but I hope I will find out.

Most of the available materials and documentation is user friendly, imho.
I mean, the engine is several years old now. While the docs (and API) arefar from perfect, it is out there. Perhaps that’s a good place for you to start:
There’s a lot on YouTube, too. Head over to the forums if you have an open-ended question and AH is best suited for more direct questions.
Is there a specific subject you’re after that you cannot find?
