Players begin by randomly drawing cards from the pool and selecting which ones to place on the table, forming their 'Deck.' These cards are then executed from left to right, offering various effects, modifiers, and synergies with each other.

Aside from being a deck builder, the act of building a deck every match makes the game rogue-like by definition in both its single-player and multiplayer modes, as the game features two main modes: a rogue-lite PvE mode and an 8-player PvP mode with ranked and unranked matches.

In PvP mode, each match consists of multiple rounds, with participants paired with a new opponent each round until only two participants remain. Players have an overall health called Destiny, determining who gets eliminated. Players take damage when they lose a round, and when it reaches zero, they're out.

In PvE mode; instead of an 8-way PvP with rounds and matches, the game transitions to a more rogue-like format with encounters, events, and choices in-between the matches. You still get to build your deck slowly from scratch.
