Read the full game description
Clash of Decks: Starter Kit is a two-player tactical card duel in which a hand is both an army and a life track. Players draft units, deploy them into two lanes, and resolve attacks across bridges toward the enemy fortress. Damage shifts the fortress card through the hand, shrinking future options as defeat approaches. The compact system creates meaningful timing and formation decisions with a very small deck, and its many compatible stand-alone sets can be mixed for additional matchups.
