All card types

5 categories of cards:

  • value: used to increase or decrease the value of a Var, remember the goal is to reach exactly 42 points.

  • loop: repeat the next card to be played on a variable, you will need them to reach the goal of 42 faster or you can use them on your opponents to reduce their score.

  • attacks: freeze var, slow down speed or add requirements to your opponent stack. When you have played several times you will eventually find some good opportunities to play some of them on yourself.

  • defense: Memory leak, refactoring or firewall, different ways to counter attack. Some of them will allow you to rewrite the history of your favorite variable.

  • bonus: Game changer cards! You will definitively love these ones!

If you have any question about how to play those cards, please ask us!

Tons of alternative cards could be added, we are waiting for your suggestions!
