Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card rotation upgrades — Most cards have four upgrade stages; rotating them reveals enhanced abilities and resources.
- Deck-building / upgrading — Start with a 10-card deck; rotate cards to upgrade them; add two cards to the deck after each completed loop; drawing four cards initially each round.
- End-of-round discard and redraw — When a turn ends you discard front cards and draw new four; you can draw two more cards during the turn to accelerate progression.
- Expansions and scoring structure — Three built-in expansions extend play; scoring happens at multiple milestones and after expansions, encouraging long-term optimization.
- Legacy alterations — Permanent changes via stickers or marked cards; some cards are permanently removed from the deck.
- No traditional win condition — The objective is to maximize a final score; there is no explicit win/lose state.
- Resource management — Six resources are provided by cards; upgrades increase resource yield and mix.

Quotes (from this video)
- Kingdom Legacy has a very clean and straightforward rule set
- This game doesn't have a win or loss state; everything you do is in the name of improving your cards so that you can get the best score at the end
- The one more turn element with this game is just really really strong
- This game does so much with just a deck of cards
- Less than $15 and I imagine that when this hits retail it'll probably stay within that price range
