Intro

Strife is a strategic, competitive, trading card game that challenges players to master resource management and battlefield control in a race to achieve one of two equally decisive win conditions.

The battlefield consists of Structures, Machines, Characters, and Spells possessing unique strengths and abilities. Players deploy assets to the battlefield to grow their forces, stifle their enemies, and complete objectives.

There are two types of resources needed to play cards or use abilities: Materials and Mana. Materials are generated through Burn actions, where a player discards a card to gain a resource. For Mana a player must Harvest the essence of a Character in play, exhausting them for a turn.

During your Strife, players fight to acquire 8 or more Victory Points by completing Objectives and owning assets on the battlefield that carry, or generate Victory Points. A player wins the game, and is crowned The Monarch, if they begin their turn with 8 or more Victory Points on the table.

But victory can also be achieved through ruthlessness. If you are the last remaining player with cards in play at the end of your turn, you're called The King Slayer, and you win the game.
