About the Game

Gameplay
  • Reduce opponent's life from 20 to 0 to win; by playing cards and attacking.
  • 5-card starting hand. Draw a new card each turn. (The player going first doesn't draw during their first turn.)
  • You can play 1 card from your hand each turn. (Play more cards using card effects.)
  • Each card can attack once each turn. (NO summoning sickness.)
  • If opponent has any card(s) on the field, you have to attack 1 of them.
  • When an enemy is attacked, it dies.
  • When there is no enemies, your attack becomes a direct attack.
  • Direct attack makes your opponent lose life equal to your card's power.
  • All cards have a default power of 1 unless overwritten by card effects.
  • Game ends when a player runs out of life, or draws / mills a card when they have none left in their deck.
Roguelike
  • This game is a roguelike. After losing a game, you lose all progress and have to start all-over.
  • There is no progression system between runs, rather all cards are available from downloading the game.
  • At the start of a run, you pick 4 cards of 3-choices-each to form your starting deck.
  • 2 new cards can be picked after each win.
  • Each run has 5 floors, and the final boss.
Good luck, and let's have fun playing cards!
