How it feels

A charming, story-driven card-battling RPG that feels like a playful 90s cartoon where you bend the rules, make friends, and save the day.

What players say

Players love the nostalgic feel of being a kid trading and battling cards at school. The card game is simple but well-designed, with a progression from a small collection to overpowered late-game decks. However, some find the campaign short with no endgame, a limited card pool, and no new game plus, which hurts replayability.
