## What is 回春堂?

Huichuntang is a Chinese apothecary-themed roguelike deckbuilder.

The old master died the night before Qingming Festival. He left you the keys to a three-generation herbal pharmacy. Patients are already knocking. You open his prescription book, tighten your grip on the herb scoop—

===[ Core Gameplay ]===

■ Pull & Prescribe: Draw 8 herbs, pick 1-5 to form a formula. Each herb has Qi (temperament), Flavor, and Meridian — different combinations trigger different formula patterns.

■ Sovereign-Minister-Assistant-Envoy: 11 formula patterns from Solo to Five-Immortals. The apex "Sovereign-Minister-Assistant-Envoy" pattern requires the highest-potency herb as Sovereign, same-meridian herbs as Ministers, opposing-Qi as Assistants, and a guide herb (Gan Cao / Bing Pian) as Envoy — real classical Chinese medicine formulary logic.

■ Right Treatment: Patients have four syndromes — Cold-Deficiency, Heat-Excess, Deficiency, Excess. Matching your formula's dominant Qi gives ×1.25; mistreating drops to ×0.75. The "Pulse Reading" consumable pushes it to ×1.5.

■ Seven Relations of Herbs: Mutual promotion, mutual assistance, mutual restraint, mutual antagonism — the classical Eighteen Antagonisms mean pairing Gan Cao with Gan Sui really poisons the formula. The Gu Jar relic converts poison into +8 mult.

■ Deckbuilders who like 30-45 min runs and replay-heavy formats
