Our game design strategy

• Keep card descriptions short & simple. Complexity should come from finding interesting synergies between multiple cards & creatures

• Leave room for smart players to craft overpowered synergies that "break the game"

• And beautiful hand-drawn 4K artwork to bring it all to life!
