Card Mechanics
All interactions are done by using cards or combining them together, turning every decision into a tangible play.

Crafting & Building
Players can master woodworking, stone knapping, pottery, metalworking and tailoring, creating tools, furniture, clothing and weapons. These skills enable the construction of shelters ranging from mud huts to wooden cottages. Customization of dwellings with rooms, insulation and decorations adds comfort and functional benefits, while crafted items improve efficiency in other activities.

Combat & Magic
Combat involves fighting wild animals, monsters and spirits using diverse weapons, skills and techniques. Players can inflict fatal wounds or break an opponent’s will to fight.
