How it feels

A brisk, cerebral tug-of-war where you build a deck and outmaneuver an opponent in short, balanced skirmishes.

What players say

Players praise the clean deckbuilding and tug-of-war combat, comparing it favorably to Dominion. They highlight the high skill ceiling, quick matches, and strong replayability. A notable split exists over the use of AI-generated art, with some recommending the game despite it. Long-time players note a small but dedicated community.
