The object of the game is to win the islanders' esteem.

The creature cards have 2 sides, a "Call" side and an "Awakening" one. To put them on the battlefield you have to wait for their waiting cost in turns. Once your creatures on the "Call" side are defeated they will come back in the "Awakening" form. You can also play them directly in the "Awakening" form but you will miss the opportunity to see their "Call" form.

Your main resource is time, you have to put the creature at the right moment to create a powerful combo between your creature. You can reduce the time cost with a limited resource the Catalyst. You have a short amount that you can use also during your opponent's turn to unlock your creature in the Incubator area.



You can support your creatures with your Godlike skills, powerful events that need time to be ready but they can turn the tide of battle. This Skills they will recharge once used.

Use all these resources wisely and have no mercy, your opponents will not.
