Your Goal

Reduce your opponent's Core (their life total) to 0 before they reduce yours to 0.

If a player runs out of cards completely (deck + hand + board = empty), they lose.

Core = Your Life

The red number at the top of the screen is Your Core.

You lose Core when creatures attack you directly or when programs hit your face.

Keep creatures on the board to protect Your Core.

Energy to Play Cards

The blue circles at the top show how much energy you have this turn.

Energy increases by 1 at the start of each turn (up to a maximum).

Every card has an Energy Cost shown in the top-left corner.

Cards

• Creatures: Have Attack, Health, and Defense. Play them to the board to fight.
• Programs: One-time effects that can deal damage, heal Your Core, draw cards, or buff creatures.

• Draw Phase: You automatically draw 1 card.
