Who it's for

Players who love building card combos and seeing an engine take shape. Each faction feels different, so replay value is high for 1-3 players.

Not for you if…

Skip if you dislike take-that mechanics or want deep player interaction β€” the razing can sting and the game is mostly heads-down building.
