tactical puzzle.

• DUEL — Fast turn-based battles built on an 8-type elemental chart. Every
  type beats two others; positioning, resources, and timing decide the match.
• COLLECT — 200 aardvarks, 50 Ecosystem Engineers, 8 resources. Earn cards
  from matches, daily free cards, and referral packs — or open boosters.
• BUILD — Craft 42-card decks in the Deck Builder and tune them for the meta.
• TRADE — Swap any card 1-for-1 on the open trade market.
