Research, break down of the card game Inscryption.

Inscryption

There are 4 card types

Each type can play into one another to some degree but it’s up to the player to make a deck that works around that link.

A deck can consist of 20 cards minimum. (If both players want to play with more they can)

Beast

You sacrifice your card to play stronger cards.

E.g., You play a squirrel that coast nothing but only has 1 health. You can then play a stout for 1 blood, this means you kill the squirrel and put down the stout, this has 1 attack and 3 health.

You can sacrifice up to a maximum of four cards (as that is how big the board is).

The Black Goat has an ability that it’s worth 3 blood when sacrificed. (Worthy Sacrifice)

Death

Each time one of your cards die you gain 1 bone token.

E.g., Your Stout gets killed by a wolf, this gives you 1 bone token.

You can hold an unlimited about of bone tokens but start the game with 0

A lot of death cards have the ability called brittle. (This means when they attack, they die)

Tech

You gain 1 max energy each turn, up to a maximum of 6. You regain all spent energy at the start of your turn.

E.g., You play a L33pbot for 1 energy turn one. Then on your next turn you can play a 49er for 2 energy.

The cards in this type seem to be weaker than the other types but have stronger active powers. Such as gamblobot, a 1 health card where you can spend 1 energy to roll for an attack 1-6. (Power Dice)

Magic

You need gems to play the different cards for this type.

There are 3 mox/gem colours. Blue, Orange and Green.

E.g., You must play a green gem before you can play a magic card what is powered by a green gem.

Form closer observation the different colour gems are more forced on different aspects of cards. Such as Blue gem cards are more about drawing more cards from your deck. The Green gem cards are more about health and effects that make it harder for a card to die. The Orange gem cards are more about damage.
