The gameplay is described as a hidden gem that offers a fun and engaging experience on a 4x4 grid, where players manipulate card placements to maximize synergies and effects. While the user interface may not be visually appealing, the refined mechanics and elegant design create a challenging yet addictive gameplay loop, reminiscent of "Luck Be a Landlord" but with more depth and variety. The unique art style and coherent theme further enhance the overall experience, making it a standout in the deck-building genre.
“Played on a 4x4 grid 'battlefield' of cards, each deck has a different mechanic for affecting the placement of the cards each turn; that, mixed with a bunch of interesting synergies between the cards, makes for an engaging (and challenging!) experience.”
“To top it off, the game has a very elegant design where it keeps the number of mechanics to a minimum and obtains depth through the interplay of those systems.”
“The basic mechanic is what 'Luck Be a Landlord' does, but so much better refined.”
“It is a genuinely unique gameplay experience where the cards you draft throw themselves onto a 4x4 grid, and your input on each turn comes in the form of slightly altering their placement to enable various adjacency effects, which can frequently result in chains of effects that exponentially multiply your attack/wealth/defense.”
“I love how the gameplay is essentially switching the position of 2 of the cards in a 4x4 grid each turn so as to make the most of the current 16 cards' various synergies (card x gives benefit to card y as long as not adjacent to card z).”
