MANCY

A trading card game from the 90s with a tie-in video game that was planned to release in 2006, but was buried. Literally.
DUEL FOR THE DECKLORD
You have five days to prepare for the grandest tournament this kingdom has ever seen—The Duel for the Decklord. People all across Siderale are fighting to collect the most powerful cards they can and secure one of eight exclusive spots in the tournament. And you are right there in the thick of it. Quest across Siderale to build powerful decks, claim mysterious powers, and stomp the assassins that are hunting you down.
Curator's Note: As you play, you may notice some strange occurrences. Things don't always appear quite right and, on occasion, the game has even frightened me. Being buried in the ground for almost twenty years did a number on this thing! Those things are all just a side effect of some corrosion I wasn't able to remove. Try to ignore them.

CHOOSE HOW YOU PLAY
In this semi-roguelike, death does not have to separate you from your beloved cards. Every game starts as a Rogue run, but if that run ends 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒚, you may choose to continue your quest as an Enduring run. While Enduring, your defeats become setbacks rather than resets, and nothing can separate you from the cards you've collected. For those who prefer the challenge of the Rogue mode, secrets & heightened difficulty levels await to push your skills higher and higher.
RETURN TO THE COLLECTION BUILDER
MANCY hails from another time. Before the rise of the deckbuilder, a different kind of virtual card game reigned supreme—the collection builder. Build an unrivaled collection that can stun even the haughtiest of convention vendors. Enter your mind palace and craft a cardboard wonder that would make Mary Shelley shudder. Then, pilot your new child against the foolish duelists who dare to cross your path. When your new invention inevitably trips against a single counterspell, scoop it up and return to the lab! You have brewing to do.
EMBRACE THE DUEL
Your opponents aren't monsters telegraphing their attacks, they are duelists playing with their own limited collection just like you. Sit down across from your opponent, hope that their breath is better than yours, and make sure to cut their deck. Duels start on equal footing, but your choices will soon separate you and your opponent. As you learn your opponents and the decks that they like, you may come up with some devious tricks to counter their strategies. Know an aggro player when you see one? Choose to bring your anti-aggro deck against them and watch as they melt before your genius. Unless your intuition was wrong, then maybe I will get to watch you squirm instead.
