Gameplay[]
An example of the card game
The game is played on two 3x3 grids. Cards with arrows are placed on the map with icons depicting its effect. When a minimum of 3 icons are linked the cards are activated, with the most icons chains taking precedence. If an equal amount of icons are activated then the player can choose the effect.
Cards can be attack, defense, revive or neutral. Attack cards add 1 damage each, defense restores 1 HP and revive re-enables disabled cards.
The duelists starts with 7 HP. The object of the game is to either bring the opponent's HP down to zero or to disable the opponent's cards and force their grid to fill up causing them to lose the round. If an opponent runs out of cards they take scaling damage with each additional turn until their HP runs to zero.
