Loosely inspired by tabletop RPGs, the game is guided by a friendly Game Master who narrates every step of your journey. From basic game mechanics and gameplay tips to detailed explanations of the world and every card you discover, he covers it all! So when he starts talking, it might be a good idea to listen. Explore a world crafted entirely from cards and miniatures . Move the character across the board to uncover the path of your adventure. You play as a hero accompanied by three allies. At any given time, only the cards surrounding your hero are revealed. To uncover the rest of the world, you'll need to move across the board and explore new locations. Not everything you encounter will be a card, however. Miniatures may also appear throughout the world. Some may be obstacles blocking your path, while others could be objects or NPCs waiting to be interacted with. So be sure to keep moving to see what the world has to offer. Or you can call your flying companion, Altair! Doing so will not only restore your health but also let you soar past every monster encounter. But pay attention to your XP, since it will gradually drain. Use Altair recklessly, and you might see your hard-earned levels disappear! But Altair isn't only for escaping danger. Sometimes, it can lead you straight into it. Certain rare monsters only appear when your XP reaches specific range. And Altair's XP-draining ability can help you meet those requirements. Just like the world you explore, battles are fought entirely with cards and miniatures. Fight in a turn-based card battle system where every action is performed by choosing one of your cards. Plan your moves strategically, as the arrangement of your cards affects the damage you deal! Each turn, you can move your Player Card (the one with a hand icon) a limited number of spaces. Move it to your desired position, then select one of the surrounding cards by pressing the corresponding direction button: top, left, right, or bottom. Normally, the damage you deal is equal to the selected card's power. However, card placement is just as important as card strength. Arrange your cards in specific patterns, and their power will increase! During battle, there's a chance an Ally Card will appear. When it does, be sure to pick it! Doing so allows your ally to attack in your place, dealing damage without reducing your weapon's durability. Or, if you have the required elements, you can call forth a mighty summon! These powerful beings can either unleash devastating attacks or restore a significant amount of your health. When the battle ends, there is a chance the monster will drop a new card! With hundreds of cards to collect from hundreds of monsters, there's always something new weapon to get in every battle! Want to learn more about how the game works?
