  • Attack - Inflicts damage to the opponent 
  • Magic - Inflicts damage to the opponent
  • Heal - Restores health
  • Defense - Blocks incomming damage

There are 5 rounds each lasting 3 seconds. During the round, both players play cards. 

Cards have a strength value. Card that are of the same type stack together. This combines their strength values.

The card's effect is activated only if the players wins the battle for the type of card.

I have a hard time understanding what is going on because the pace is too fast. Nice idea thought.

Yes, I understand it is a bit frustrating. The limitation of 20 seconds is very tough on the game. I just wanted to use an original idea for my submission. I will probably improve my game after the Jam.

i am ok with the pace for the decision making. but it is kind of sad that you hardly have time to see the outcome
