Scarbound
A deckbuilder where your cards scar: every wound you take is written onto a card and stays there.

Goal
Walk the Ash Road from the mud flats to the boss at the end of Act I. Survive with a deck that keeps getting scarred — and learn to use the scars instead of avoiding them.
How to play
Each fight is fought in columns. The enemy's whole turn is shown face-up on the top row: three moves, left to right.
Pick a card, then tap the column you want it to meet. Your card and that enemy move resolve at the same time and cancel each other out. A card's damage and its extra snuff count as one force — a 4-damage card that snuffs 2 more cancels a 6-damage move.
What you leave uncovered hits you in full, so you are always choosing which blow to eat.
If your hand is wrong, spend one of your 3 discards: tap a card, then tap the discard pile to throw it away and draw a replacement.
Between fights the map branches — shops, fountains, chests, events and elites.
Lose and a card in your deck gets a permanent scar. Some scars hurt, some can be built around.
Controls
Touch or mouse only — tap a card to select it, tap a column to place it, tap a placed card to take it back, then press PLAY to resolve the turn. No keyboard needed.
