About

WEED WAR

Features
Read full description

WEED WAR is a two-player collectible card duel. Build a deck, face a real opponent, and win by strategy rather than luck. BUILD YOUR DECK A legal deck is 42 cards in fixed quotas: 25 strains, 7 seed-bank specials, 4 certificates, 3 golds and 3 heroes. Every card is drawn from a catalog of 53, each with its own printed values and its own place in the plan. Which 42 you bring is the first decision of the match. PLAY THE ROUND Both players start on 909 tolerance. Each turn you commit one strain and up to two specials, and at the end of the round the two sides are compared — family bonuses, pairings and hero effects all resolve in a fixed order. Ten turns each, and the higher tolerance wins. WIN INSTANTLY Land exactly 420 or exactly 710 and the match ends on the spot. Both numbers are reachable and both are hard. Knowing when to reach for one is the difference between a good player and a lucky one. DAY AND NIGHT Strains belong to a side of the table. Some belong to both. The board changes what your cards are worth, so the deck that beats one opponent will not beat the next. TOURNAMENTS AND RANKING Queue for a match against a real opponent, climb the rating, and enter tournaments for cards you cannot get any other way.

WEED WAR is a fictional card game about collecting and competition. It is rated 17+ and is intended for adults.
