Card game rules
the "I didn't find the library"/"I don't like riddles" -edition: - Cards have two main stats: hitpoints and damage (displayed on the card as "H" and "D") - There are three "lanes". Cards in play will only attack cards on their lane (the card in front of them) - If a card has no opponent on their lane, it will target the summoner - A round is resolved lane-by-lane from left to right. On each lane, cards' elements determines which side attacks first. - Elements fastest to slowest: fire > ground > water > air
Changelog
- v2: added missing boss dialogue / card decks
- v3: Paju no longer freezes in awe after successfully defeating a god
- v4: Losing a battle against a god no longer forces you to re-match. You can no longer get out of bounds in the library. Library music now loops instead of abruptly stopping.
Known issues
- Hover effect for cards in hand is a bit wonky

Nevertheless. Cool Entry.
I like whisk-Ink too, though. RIP Grandpa Joe!
This really is a great game. I hope you continue to expand this and mitigate that boss concern. I managed to defeat three of them, but that grass bro was brutal. I found myself playing this longer than expected so you guys did a great job at keeping the player's attention.
After getting the mechanics solid, the game was very fun. Though on my own fault, I forgot how initiative was calculated! Which I shall call this "Kevvy's Folly". It is what attributed to my demise at Grass bro.
I think I'd enjoy it more if there was a deck limit and a way of culling "bad" scrolls as well. Every combat ended when one player ran out of scrolls, so I feel like there could be room for improvement there as well.
My only wish is for combat to be faster. (And maybe for scrolls to have some distinct abilities.)
