About this game

Fight twelve royal enemies using nothing but a standard deck of playing cards. Each suit grants a special power when played: hearts heal, diamonds draw cards, clubs deal extra damage, and spades reduce enemy attacks. Play cards to whittle down each Jack, Queen, and King, but after every attack they hit back, forcing you to discard from your precious hand. Communication is limited, so you must read your partners and hope they have what you need. A cooperative card game of brilliant simplicity that fits in your pocket and plays anywhere.
