Todo cabe
en una carta.
El marco es el mismo para unidades, hechizos y módulos. Lo que cambia es la información que se muestra y el estado de combate. Estas son las cinco zonas que tienes que saber leer.
- 01Maná
Arriba a la izquierda, en el rombo azul. Es el coste que pagas al jugar la carta.
- 02Ataque
Abajo a la izquierda, en el rombo ámbar con la espada detrás. Solo las unidades tienen ataque.
- 03Vida
Abajo a la derecha, en el corazón rubí. La cifra es la vida actual de la unidad.
- 04Escudo
Burbuja sobre la vida. Solo aparece en combate, cuando la unidad tiene escudo; el número es el escudo restante.
- 05Módulos
Arriba a la derecha: hexágono para el módulo permanente y octágono para el temporal.

Combat concepts
Mana, lives, base, hand, priority and everything on the table.
Mana
Spent to play cards. The reserve rises 1 per turn up to 10 and refills at the start of the turn; unspent mana is lost. Energy from locations adds to it.
Cost
The mana you pay to play the card, in its corner. It is refunded if you undo the order.
Base
Your base's HP in the current life. A unit with no one in front of it hits the base; at 0 you lose the life.
Lives
Each side has two lives of 20 base points. Losing the first refills the base for the second; losing both loses the game.
Deck
The cards you have not drawn yet. You draw one per turn. Their order is secret and never shown, and neither is the rival's deck. Drawing with an empty deck costs 1 HP to your base, then 2, then 3... (fatigue).
Graveyard
Defeated units and spent cards. It is public: click to view it.
Played cards
The cards revealed in this game, in the order they resolved, with the turn each one was played. It is public to both sides.
Hand
The cards you can play, up to 8. Drag one to the board to play it. A card drawn with a full hand goes to the graveyard.
Rival's hand
The backs of the cards the rival holds, including the orders they programmed and have not revealed yet. Which ones they are is never shown.
Turn
Both players program orders in secret and lock them in. Then the orders are revealed and units attack, slot by slot and location by location.
Phase
Programming: play cards by dragging them, and undo by dragging them back to your hand. Reveal: orders and attacks resolve in order.
Timer
Time left to program this turn. When it runs out, your orders lock as they are.
Reveal priority
Each turn one player reveals first: whoever holds the Priority badge resolves their orders before the other. It alternates each turn and starts with the first player on turn 1. Revealing first does not decide who attacks first.
Attack (ATK)
The damage the unit deals when attacking the unit or base in front of it.
Health (HP)
The damage the unit endures before being defeated, shown as current over maximum.
Edge
The first and last slot of a location. Some cards get a bonus when deployed there.
Center
Any slot of a location between its two edges. It is not an edge.
Single-slot location
A location with a single slot. It is neither edge nor center, so edge bonuses and penalties do not apply.
Token
A unit created by an effect, not drawn from a deck.
Hidden order
A card the rival programmed this turn. It stays face down until the reveal.
Pending order
A card you programmed this turn; it resolves at the reveal. Drag it to another target to move it, or to your hand to undo it and get the mana back.
