Turn Structure
Each turn, one player is the Lead (Attacker). They play a stack of same-element cards — this sets the Attack Total. All other players are Defenders and respond with their own stacks. The Lead rotates clockwise each turn.
Combat: Elemental Friction
Counter Element: If a defender plays the element that BEATS the attacker's (per the cycle above), their points are subtracted from the Attack Total.
Neutral/Weak Element: If the defender's element doesn't beat the attacker's, their points are added to the round's prize pool — whoever wins the round claims them.
Scoring
Attack holds (Total > 0): The Lead wins! They score their remaining Attack Total + all neutral/weak points from defenders.
Attack broken (Total ≤ 0): The counter-element defenders win! Each winning defender scores the full overflow amount + all neutral/weak points independently.
Exact zero: If neutral points exist, the attacker claims them. Otherwise it's a stalemate — no one scores.
Infinity Cards
Suite (The Drain): Adds 0 points to your stack. If your side wins, each loser also loses points from their score equal to what you won. If your side loses, the Drain fizzles. Suite vs Suite = cancel out.
Global (Equinox): Must be played alone. Destroys everything. Nobody gains points. Every other player loses points from their score equal to what they played this round. The player loses nothing. Multiple = stalemate.
Draw back to 5 cards each turn. First to 50 points wins!
