GAMEPLAY
Quick, Simple, Fluid, Endless
Games start instantly with randomly generated decks of versatile cards. To control them, you have up to 4 actions per turn: summon, flip, move, and activate. Every action results in a seamless flow of automatic battles, boosts, and countereffects. The end goal: eliminate all of your opponent’s cards.
Custom complexity
Drawing is dynamic: hand size is constant. The more cards, the more synergies. Beginners use 3; intermediates 4; experts 5; legends go beyond.
Custom duration
Initial deck size sets game duration. Blitz players use 5 cards for a 5-minute match, while others choose up to 21 for 35 minutes.
Alternative modes
Draft Mode: add a layer of strategy by picking your cards.
Team Mode: play 2v2 (or even 3v3) on one board only.
