Actions do not go in the deck. They're played depending on your gesture queue.


You have two 'hands'. You play Things on either of those Hands, forming a queue. When the last Things of the queue form a certain sequence, you've launched a spell.
All players play simultaneously. The turn sequence goes:
 
# All players draw a card;
# All players play up to one card per hand;
# Players reveal their plays and spells resolve;
# End-of-turn effects resolve;
# All players discard to five cards.
 
Each wizard has 15 HP. If they end the turn with 0 HP or less, they lose the game.
 
== Spell launching ==
 
Wizards start with two hands. Each hand has a gesture queue Things may be played on.
 
During the play-reveal stage, check the last cards of each queue to see if they match a given spell. If they do, the spell is cast. You certainly can cast more than one spell per turn if you use both hands; however, any given gesture can't be used for two spells in the same turn. This is important for certain spells that require a gesture (usually the last one) to be done with two hands. In that case, you must choose which spell will be cast.

This is an untested deck. Its cards are complete, but it hasn't yet been tested.
To play Dvorak: Draw five cards each and leave the rest as a draw pile. On your turn, draw a card from the draw pile and play one Thing and/or one Action. (See the full rules.)

This deck is locked. Further cards should not be added - leave feedback on the talk page.

The classical abstract game in card form.


Special rules

Actions do not go in the deck. They're played depending on your gesture queue.

All players play simultaneously. The turn sequence goes:

  1. All players draw a card;
  2. All players play up to one card per hand;
  3. Players reveal their plays and spells resolve;
  4. End-of-turn effects resolve;
  5. All players discard to five cards.

Each wizard has 15 HP. If they end the turn with 0 HP or less, they lose the game.

Spell launching

Wizards start with two hands. Each hand has a gesture queue Things may be played on.

During the play-reveal stage, check the last cards of each queue to see if they match a given spell. If they do, the spell is cast. You certainly can cast more than one spell per turn if you use both hands; however, any given gesture can't be used for two spells in the same turn. This is important for certain spells that require a gesture (usually the last one) to be done with two hands. In that case, you must choose which spell will be cast.
