Thornhand
Read the attack. Build your answer.
A compact six-fight deckbuilder with visible enemy intentions and reversible card plays.
Build a deck through six fights in the thorn woods. Each turn gives you three energy to spend. A card's top-right number is its energy cost; the effects are written below its art. Play attacks, shields and combinations before ending your turn. The enemy's next action and predicted damage are visible above your hand.
Use arrows to bring a card forward and Space to play it. On touch screens, tap a rear card to select it, then tap the front card to play. Esc, U or Undo reverses your last card and its effects until you end the turn or accept a reward. Defeat a foe, choose a new card and heal before the next fight.
