Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

• Card draw — The game relies heavily on drawing cards for actions like movement and attacking, leading to frustration when desired cards are not drawn. 'the only way you can move is through cards the only way you can attack is through cards'.
• card trashing — Players can trash cards to improve their decks, which is seen as a standard deck-building mechanic that helps mitigate some of the luck. 'multiple ways to trash the sh our beginner cards'.
• Deck Building — The game is described as a 'deck building skirmish game'. The core issue is that the deck-building mechanics are considered uninnovative and slow, impacting the skirmish aspect. 'it's a deck builder deck builders inherently already have a problem of of luck'.
• Player elimination (optional) — Player elimination is mentioned as something the designers avoided, instead opting for controlling 'water minions' upon defeat, which is viewed negatively. 'they don't want to do that either because it's like okay well sorry cat you got kicked out guess you're now controlling water minions'.
• Skirmish — The game is a 'deck building skirmish game'. The main criticism is that the skirmish element is negatively impacted by the slow and luck-based nature of the deck building, making it feel tedious rather than fast-paced. 'the slowness of a skirmish game'.
• Terrain effects — The game features different types of terrain that have specific effects, such as lava that kills instantly. 'the terrain all does different stuff and that the cards affect the terrain'.
• Victory Point System (Trophy System) — A positive point is the 'trophy system for victory points' which encourages interaction and prevents turtling. 'you can't turtle because you've got to get over and do stuff so i mean that's that's what makes it a viable three-player game'.
