Game of Cards

Evoland 2 Game of Cards minigame Game of Cards is a card game and mini-game within Evoland 2. Much like Double Twin in Evoland, the player can collect several cards from different locations around the world or by challenging certain NPCs.

Rules
During their turn, a player draws 3 random cards from their collection, then must play or discard each one. To play a card, the player needs to expend a certain amount of Maana (the card's Cost). Players gain 1 Maana per turn, but can also throw cards back into your collection to gain Maana (the card's Refund), usually about half the card's Cost. Once on the board, they will attack the enemy player or their cards. You always start with 20 hit points, while the enemy can have anything between 10 and 50. The first player to lower their opponent's hit points to zero wins. Each card has four specific numbers:


 * 1) Cost (How many Maana must be expended to play the card). This appears in the upper left corner, in a blue gem.
 * 2) Refund (How much Maana you receive for discarding them). In the detailed card graphic, this is the number of small gems to the right of the Cost. In a game, it's only visible in an arrow to the card's left when it's selected in the hand.
 * 3) Attack (How much damage they deal). This appears in the lower left corner, in an orange circle with an arrow.
 * 4) Health (How much damage they can take before being discarded). This appears in the lower right corner, in a red heart.

There are 3 rows with 2 columns on each side. Generally, only the player's cards in the column closer to the opponent can deal damage. If there is an opposing card in the same row, they will take the damage and simultaneously counterattack. If there are two, generally only the front one will be affected. If there are none, the opponent will take the damage. When a card runs out of health, it will go back to the draw pile, and if a card is behind it, it will move up to the front.

There are some cards that have special powers. These powers are represented by an icon in the upper right corner of the card:


 * E2 CardGame Icon Range.png Range: Cards with this power are capable of dealing damage even if placed in the back column; they attack first in a turn, and don't cause a counterattack.
 * E2 CardGame Icon FirstStrike.png First Strike: Cards with this power will always deal damage first when fighting an opposing card, only allowing an attack or counterattack if the card is still standing, except when the other card also has First Strike. (This means if a card which has lower life than the attack power of the First Strike card is played against it, they will immediately be knocked out in the same turn without dealing any damage.)
 * E2 CardGame Icon Trample.png Trample: After beating an opposing card, cards with this power will deal any excess damage to the card in the back slot of that row, or to the player if none is present.
 * E2 CardGame Icon Magic.png Magic: Cards with this power will grant 1 Maana at the end of each turn.
 * E2 CardGame Icon Heal.png Heal: When placed on the back row, a card with this power will increase the health of the card in front of it by 1 at the end of each turn. This power is only possessed by the Fina card.

Each card is limited to a single power.
