Play Modes:

FREEPLAY

This is an endless quickplay mode. All cards are unlocked. You and the AI are given balanced, random decks, and you play according to whatever rules you've set in Settings.

TOURNEY

This is a collection mode. You start with a handful of cards unlocked. Choose your deck. (Each card can be put into your hand *once* only.) Work your way through the region ladder, playing with that region's unique ruleset.

When you clear a region, you'll be given a chance to influence the rules. You can make *one change*: Any checkmarked rules are default to the next region; you can remove them. Any un-checked rules were active in the previous region; you can add them. Any rules marked with a + are rules you have previously brought with you.

When you clear a region, you can also continue challenging that regions matches to earn more cards. Look: You can absolutely make the tourney progression too easy. I recommend only re-challenging if you're struggling!  

Rule primers:

Cards have a small element indicator in the center. This can be embiggened into the full symbol by pressing tab. An elemental-mismatch penalty is indicated by a red downward-pointing symbol in the upper left. If there's an elemental-match bonus instead, it's a green upward-pointing symbol.

Ex: 3=3, and 4=4.
Same activates!
Combo then flips the last red card, because A>4.


Ex: 1 = 1, and A = Wall.
Same activates!
Combo then chain flips the last two red cards, because 7>4, then A>4.


Ex: 3+4 = 4+3.
Plus activates!
Combo then flips the last red card, because A>4.

Note that Same, Same Wall, Plus, and Combo all ignore Elemental-adjusted values. They go by what's printed on the card.

Settings:

This is where you change your freeplay rule settings, but also this is where you have accessibility options:

• Change [TAB] to show big Element symbols to a toggle instead of a hold
• Freeze Element symbol animations
• Color sliders! You'll see these colors reflected in the UI!
