Fine print

Decks hold 25 cards of one faction plus neutral ones. You hold 10 and may swap up to 2 before the first round. Between rounds the board clears and each player draws two.

Each turn has 45 seconds, spent from a 6-minute bank for the match. Run out and you pass.

Ranked matches move your Glicko-2 rating; season points are your rating above 1500 plus one per match. Only 3 matches against the same rival count per day. To play on Sunday you need 25 ranked matches against 10 different rivals.

The server plays every match and your browser never sees the rival's hand. Each match shows a hash of its secret seed at the start and the seed at the end, so anyone can replay it from the log.
