Epitaph - Buff The Dead

In this card game, your hero has to die — seriously.
Only through death can they reach their true potential.

Made for - Jamsepticeye 
Theme: Death is an Opportunity!

NIce to Know:
I'll definitely build a full game out of this concept. So leave a follow to stay up to date ;)


How to Play

1. Choose a Tile:
Each round, select one of the tiles in the center of the board:
- Landscapes give you Gold
- Chests grant you Hand Cards
- Monsters trigger a Battle 

After your choice, the round ends— unless you picked a monster tile. If you win the battle, you receive Gold as a reward.

2. Use Your Hand Cards
You can play hand cards in two ways:
- Directly onto your active hero (top left of the screen)
- Onto a fallen hero in the graveyard
- Some rare cards may also damage your hero directly—read each card carefully.
- All other effects are explained on the cards themselves.

When Do You Lose?
The game is lost if:
- Your hero reaches 0 HP, or
- The boss encounter begins with no active hero in play

Goal of the Game
- Survive until Round 25 and defeat the final boss to claim victory.
