Thunder & Lightning

Players take the roles of two mythic rivals and contest control of two powerful relics in a head‑to‑head card duel. Each player builds a battlefield of up to four rows and places cards face down in columns; cards have strength values and occasional special powers. On a turn, the number of available action points equals the current number of columns, and players spend them to draw, deploy cards, activate mythic abilities, or initiate challenges against adjacent opposing cards. Resolving a challenge compares strength values and discards the weaker card, causing cards behind it to slide forward. A player who runs out of usable actions or loses control of the key relics is defeated.
