The rules, in five minutes

Every memory token has four stats. Each turn a random stat is rolled, and the card with the higher value on that stat wins the turn.

Boosts are written +X%/+Y = “+X% to a % stat (F/D), or +Y to an integer stat (I/K)”.

Medal tier is set by supply — the smaller the supply, the stronger the bonus:

A legal deck is 12 cards max:

• 3 different Rares
• 3 different Uncommons
• 3 different Commons
• up to 3 different Medals (optional)

That's 9 memory tokens (played once each across the 9 turns) plus your medals. Your FLIP card is separate — everyone has one.

1. (Optional) Flip: before any card is played, either player may play their one FLIP card.
2. Play a token: each player commits one memory token (you can't play the same card your opponent plays that turn).
3. Powers & medals: add boosts from your powers/medals.
4. Roll: a random stat (F/D/I/K) is chosen.
5. Resolve: the higher value on that stat wins the turn = 1 point. Ties re-roll.

After nine turns, the highest score wins. Who goes first alternates each turn.

🤖 vs AI: a rule-based bot — it plays negative cards while flipped (they invert to strong), saves strong cards for late unflipped turns, and only spends powers/medals when they help its duel. Its card is hidden until you roll.

Each player must play their one FLIP card once per match, at the start of a turn before any token is played.

• Once the first flip is played, all stats of tokens played after it invert (+ ↔ −). The second flip un-flips.
• At least two duels must pass between flips (four with the PESSIMIST medal).
• Auto-flip: if nobody flips by turn 7, the game auto-flips for turns 7–9.
• Inversions apply first, then power/medal boosts stack on top.

Only rare cards carry powers; you may use up to three (one per rare) per match, each once unless refreshed.

Up to three per deck. Some fire once, some multiple times, some each time a condition is met.
