Each trial can lead to experience used to level up your cards. If you prepare well enough, you will grow strong.

Each requiring a different strategy. • Six difficulties. • Learn to Play: short guided lessons teach the game step by step. • Achievements to unlock, and a record of every game you play. • Plays offline.
