About the Game

Every equipment object you place in your inventory increases your stats and your weight. Your weight indicates how much time it takes to perform a new action after you have moved one field or drop a card.

Each object also has a type and a special effect, which is only activated after another object of the corresponding type is placed in the marked area.

The cards in your deck are, besides your life points, your most important resource, because cards you have already played do not naturally return to your deck.

After each activated card, you need a certain amount of time before you can perform a new action. Each card shows you at the bottom where you need to be to activate it and which positions you can target with it.

Defeat your opponents by using your cards to activate your skills when you are in the right position, or to use them to interact with the question marks on the opponent's side to activate even more powerful skills.

After you have defeated all your opponents, you can explore other areas by interacting with the arrows, but always pay attention to your resources. If your life points drop to zero or you return to your base during a fight, you will lose all your looted items.

Interact with the question marks on your side to loot new equipment objects or skill cards, but until you return to your base, you can still lose them.
