About the Game

About This Game

This game incorporates deck-building and roguelike elements into the highly popular Japanese card game "Daifugo." The card-playing rules follow the principles of "Daifugo." In other words, players take turns playing cards that are stronger than the ones currently on the table. If you are on the offensive and successfully play stronger cards than your opponent, you can deal damage to them. Conversely, if your opponent is attacking, you must defend against their attack with stronger cards to avoid taking damage.

The basic rules of "Daifugo," such as "Revolution," "Binding," "Eight Cut," and "Shibari," are also included. These can occur through traditional card combinations according to the rules or through the skills that cards possess. Moreover, these effects can also be nullified by specific skills.

More Tactical

Each card is assigned attack power, defense power, attack skills, and defense skills. This means that some cards are stronger when played offensively, while others are stronger when played defensively, significantly changing their effectiveness based on the situation. To achieve higher effects, you may need to employ tactics such as saving a card for a future attack or defense.

Among the skills, there are "tactical skills" that can be activated at any time. These skills cannot be used multiple times in a single battle, so make sure to use them at the critical moment.

Card Growth Elements

Each of the 53 cards, including one Joker, can grow. Not only do their attack and defense powers increase, but the values added to their original numbers also grow. For instance, a 3 card can become +2, +3, and so on, eventually becoming stronger than a 4 card. Increasing the card's number is a significant advantage in this game. Additionally, cards can acquire special skills.

Naturally, your opponents will also use cards that have grown significantly stronger and possess powerful skills. It’s crucial to not only develop strategies and tactics but also to diligently grow your cards.
