Card Clash

This game was designed as part of a Game Jam, based on the theme "Invisible Connections."

Theme Interpretation

This is a strategy game where players use cards from their deck to spawn characters onto the battlefield. Each card has two sides: the front side and an alternative backside. The backside of a card acts as a power-up, which can be placed on the map to provide special abilities or drag and drop above the player. These power-up cards form an invisible connection with nearby characters, granting them certain advantages.
