(WIP, it'll be an actual adventure game tho plus multiplayer battles)

Here's essentially how battling works.

Each player has a deck, which consists of 16 - 32 cards. At the start of the game, players draw 4 cards to be their hand, and every round after that, they draw another card. The hand can hold up to 8 cards. Additionally, players may view the top card of their own deck at all times. Players' hands and decks are not visible to other players. One may only have up to 4 copies of any given card in their deck.

Each player will have 32 HP, and to win one must deplete all the opponent's HP while keeping their own. To do so, each round, both players play one card simultaneously.

The effects of these cards then go into play based on Priority: the cards with the highest Priority go first, then those with lower Priorities. Cards with the same Priorities go into effect at the same time. Most cards have Priority 0, and this is thus assumed and not noted.. Most cards go into effect immediately, however some have prolonged effects. These cards go on their player's field, and supply effects that last until the card is removed.

Once a card is played or removed from the field, it is discarded. Once one's entire deck has been drawn, one's discard pile is shuffled and becomes the deck.

Players, along with their decks, may select two passives. These will be effects that remain for the entirety of the battle and affect gameplay. Passives are visible to the other player and do not count as part of one's hand.
