How combat works
Select one to five cards to form an attack. Scoring cards determine the formation and damage; every selected card is consumed, including cards chosen only to cycle the hand. Discard actions replace cards without advancing the enemy Attack Coin. When the Coin reaches zero, the enemy retaliates.
The Wayfinder
Turn the Thread once each enemy cycle to choose which of the next three cards rises first. Build around Dyads, discards, Marches, Critical cards, Command cards, or repeated attack tempo.
Prototype tools
The playable build includes a seeded deck, deterministic state fingerprints, combat logs, enemy forcing, Critical-card controls, eight Sigils, three readable enemies, keyboard controls, damage previews, and responsive layouts.
