Questions
Do I need the box to play?
No. Order 1 is free to play here, as much as you like. The box is for playing across a table.
Is it a trading card game?
It plays like one, but every card is in the box. No booster packs, and nothing random changes what a deck can do.
Why only 100?
It is a first printing, paid for by one person. Bigger printings buy better card stock and a sturdier box, not a lower price.
When do Orders 2 and 3 come?
When their lists and Order 1’s sales can pay for a printing of each.
Is the art made with AI?
Yes. The card art is made with AI tools.
Will there be a Kickstarter?
Maybe, for a bigger printing. It would be a link from here, not a campaign on this site.
