Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This card game centers on strategic deck-building where players choose from five distinct civilizations, each with unique tactical strengths. Players deploy creatures and cast spells to attack opponents while managing resources and manipulating the battle zone. Success requires leveraging specific traits, such as Fire's speed, Darkness's removal power, or Light's defensive blockers, to outmaneuver and defeat the enemy.
Story
Fire
Fire creatures are fast, relentless attackers that can quickly overwhelm an unprepared opponent. Fire also has spells that destroy other creatures. There are no blockers in this civilization, so attacking quickly is key. Fire and Nature make a powerful deck.
Darkness
Darkness creatures can be more expensive to summon, but they create a terrifying army once in the battle zone. Darkness can destroy the most powerful creatures with a single spell or “slayer” creature, and has the annoying ability to make an opponent discard.
The Darkness civilization has its share of blockers, although they are a bit more expensive than those from Water and Light. Darkness is good on its own, or combined with a fast civilization like Fire or Nature.
Nature
Nature creatures are very powerful, but also can be expensive to cast. For this reason, Nature has many spells that can quickly increase the size of your mana pool. Nature provides needed speed to both Fire and Darkness decks.
Light
Light creatures are slow but powerful, and its spells are designed to manipulate the battle zone to Light's favor. The Light civilization contains an array of powerful blockers and simple, trustworthy attackers.
Light cards are great for any deck that might need a few turns to show its strength.
Water
Water creatures are sly - many cannot be blocked - and Water spells, such as Teleportation, can quickly change the shape of the battle zone. The Water civilization contains many blockers, and so provides a good complement to any deck strategy.
