Description

Regicide is a cooperative fantasy card game for 1-4 players using a standard deck, challenging teams to defeat 12 enemies through tactical card play while surviving punishing counterattacks. Key mechanics include: - *Cooperative play* 1-4 players collaborate to overcome 12 powerful enemies, winning by defeating the final King. - *Card-based attacks* On a turn, play a card from a standard deck to deal damage; accumulate enough to defeat the current enemy. - *Enemy retaliation* After each player turn, the enemy strikes back, forcing discards to absorb damage. - *Instant-loss condition* Failure to discard sufficient cards to satisfy enemy damage results in total party defeat. - *Strategic depth* Features rich tactical decisions and a deep heuristic tree for high replay challenge. Regicide is a cooperative fantasy card game for 1-4 players utilizing a standard deck, where participants unite to sequentially defeat 12 formidable enemies by playing cards to inflict damage until each is vanquished, culminating in victory upon slaying the last King. However, post-player turns, enemies retaliate with damage that demands precise card discards to mitigate; inability to fulfill this leads to immediate collective loss. The design emphasizes profound tactical choices and an expansive heuristic decision tree, presenting a formidable test of skill and bravery for daring players.
