H-DEC

For want of a better name, the design name for the current little project is: H-DEC Rules!.

What is it?
Simultaneous play competitive stand-alone card game for 2-4 players (with space for a solo/co-op variant coming later). Currently slightly fantasy flavoured. In this card game in you protect your town (made up of a 3x3 grid of districts) while also attacking an opponents town....with all kinds of creatures which may or may not include Dragons!

Your Quest...
The Kings Guard: The land of Edonia is in turmoil as it finds itself beset by dark unknown forces. The four Dukes of Edonia are ordered by the King to defend their border towns and hold back the march of an army of strange and unnatural creatures that have seemingly appeared out of nowhere. The creatures have taken up residence in nearby ruins. Protect your city before it too becomes ruins for the creatures to live in.

The Beasts: The Tainted Ones have driven your kind ahead of their armies. Little food remains behind the Black Flood of Tainted Ones. The only recourse is to go forward, ahead of them to the plentiful lands of Edonia where food is plentiful. However the Taint has started to take hold of the once mundane animals of the lands and turned them into distorted parodies of their former selves. Now finally having found a decent place to make a den and raise offspring, others once again attempt to drive you away. No more will the Beasts run. Tooth and Claw we will fight.

H-DEC Rules!
Instead of updating the rules here the whole time, I have made the rules (and starter cards) available through google docs. This is very much a WIP so expect changes and Banter
