This game is themed on "Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind" graphic novels infused with the basic mechanics of Magic: The Gathering (MTG). It is the fruition of my desire to compress some of the most enjoyable aspects of MTG for the casual gamer. My aim was to encourage inclusiveness rather than exclusivity. I wanted to get closer to the theatrical 'heart-of-the-cards' scenario as seen in Yugi-Oh (also based on MTG) to this end there is only 30 unique cards.
I wanted a game that gets away from the power gamer mindset and into a more creative and collaborative event therefore each player shares the same 30 card deck. Being a single deck means it could not be a narrow deck aimed at winning mercilessly the same way again and again, instead I wanted to see interesting interactions where each game is different. A deck that could be taken, for example, camping and satisfy extended play within the limited constraints and materials.
The game ends when one player is eliminated and the player(s) with the highest life total at this point wins. The game is extremely quick playing as all Things have Haste. The speed of play balanced by the decision making aspect where players must choose which card to discard in order to be able to play another. More powerful cards can be played for the same 'cost' as any other cards, but they cannot dominate play due to the small card pool in which there are ways to deal with these threats, be it countering, cloning, or controlling etc.
