Deal unblockable damage to your opponent and teeth are piled onto their side of the scale. Teeth, you see, are the game's damage tokens. Why would you want to pull a tooth out? To use its weight to try and tip the scales in your favour. Or you can wrench a tooth out with some pliers.
You can use a pair of scissors to cut an opposing card in half, for example, or you can use a fan to blow your cards and give them the flying ability for one turn (so they ignore creatures in their way). You can, for instance, affect battles by having tools on the table. But as the nuances begin to show themselves, it pulls apart. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? On a base level it is. You move a figure along a map, stopping it at card-draw stops, card-upgrade stops, battles, bosses and merchants (though I haven't seen one of these yet). It means you have a potential two income streams for getting your creatures down. Bones, on the other hand, come when cards are defeated. To play a wolf, for example, you need two drops of blood, which usually means playing and then sacrificing two squirrels in order to summon it. Instead, and in keeping with the gruesome theme of the game, you use blood and bones, earned from sacrifices. But unlike in Magic, you don't use mana (gained from lands) to summon them. Like Magic, creatures have health and damage counts, and various abilities based around similar concepts. Do enough damage to the other player and you win. Those creatures either attack another creature opposite them, or damage the other player if the lane is empty. Broadly, two players sit at a table and play creature-cards in their lanes. I think that's what the nuts and bolts of it are. Without those things, it would just be a bit like Magic: The Gathering. And if it is a mask, it becomes a caricature for me, playing the role of a yee-haw gold prospector for a special boss encounter. Sometimes I see a face, or the outline of a face, but it's gone as soon as I realise it, engulfed again by shadow or obscured by a mask. I see a large, knobbly hand, green and weathered, and I hear its cheesegrater voice, scraping out words. I catch a glimpse of the thing every so often. Availability: Releases 19th October on Steam for £16.79.I have to play its games, and it feels like it's my fate at stake. I know this thing doesn't like me and I feel like it wants to hurt me, but I can do nothing about it. And I tell you what it makes me feel: menaced. What is that thing sitting at the table opposite me? All I can see are its orange eyes swirling in the darkness like the snake from The Jungle Book.
