Unleash your terror! Draw cards, summon minions, and conquer the enemy in this quick-fire clash. Master the battlefield, outsmart your foes, and defend your Summoning pit -- to the last card!

Click the Deck to draw cards to your hand. A card in your hand can be placed in the summoning pit to call forth minions to assault the enemy castle, or played on the field to enact its description that influences both minions and enemies before being sent to your discard pile once complete. Replenish your deck with booster packs purchased from the shop! Gain gold by killing enemies and attacking the wall. If an enemy reaches your summoning pit, you lose a card. If you run out of cards, you lose!

Designed to be a quick 10 minute play, we challenge you to see how far you can get in our latest Ludum Dare submission!

- Shift - Snap to Enemies Wall
- Ctrl - Snap to your Summoning Pit
- Q/E - Scroll Up and Down the Battlefield
- W/A/S/D - Quickly mirror the arrow keys to defend your Minions from Enemies

Controls, game overview and card list are located on the Itch page

Interesting mechanic. I know it's a game jam but a clear tutorial would help clear things up a bit, especially for those who don't play a lot of card games. The audio and music is pretty good

I liked spawning things with cards. I focused to just do that on home base and to buy booster packs.

The game was a bit too complicated for me to succeed. But I really liked two things: The "fighting mini game", as it adds some action to the game. And second, I find the art-style of the cards really charming!

I'm not sure what to do, but I like the animations and art graphics!
Card games can get too complicated for me. I like it though

I really like the concept of this, but there were a bunch of small things that kept me from having as much fun as I might have.

1. I didn't like having to do the weird clicking each time I wanted a booster.
2. Having fights off screen that I couldn't see/wasn't notified of just felt bad. (I didn't love the input mechanic either, but it felt bad to not even know if my dudes were getting clocked.)
3. I really disliked how I had to click outside the summon circle with shuffle. I felt like if I clicked it at all, it should have just shuffled immediately.
