Its a combo of chess'ish/ hearthstone'ish/ poker'ish
Chess is more for positioning the battles you want, (like attacking a fire god as a water god)

The real fun part is the 1v1, which I think needs to be played to fully understand how it will work.

the chess board and 1v1 is battle chess from the 80's with an added layer of making the 1v1 more of a TCG style battle.

No issues with this. I like it a lot. Just trying to be honest of how it will work.

Your definition of "combo of chess'ish/ hearthstone'ish/ poker'ish"
is "Battle chess clone / TCG combat system / MTG 6th edition stack rules for bluffing strategy"

Like I said I love the idea but from a game designer view this is what it is.

(remember I have been doing table top, card game, board game, video game design for 25+ years so I just clarifying in my own head)

actually I see a lot more Archon than battle chess more like Archon II.

Can't wait for it

Archon was so good.

Right! super under-appreciated game.
