Foreword: I praise Jesus for all He has done and is doing. This game is for His glory!

It's time to have an Argument!

The Argument takes the intangible aspects of an argument and turns them into cards and mechanics in this competitive dueling deckbuilder!

Argument-introduction-page.jpg

Let's look at a card. Each section is labeled below. The play cost must be payed and the emotion restriction met in order to play the card during the Prep Phase. Each card will bring it's own rules and mechanics into the Argument. You must abuse those tools in order to build combos or use aggression to win the Argument. The Value of a card is the card's strength during Debate Phase. Higher Value means more potential damage to the enemy hero's Patience.

There are over 100 unique cards in the game. The anatomy of a card is shown below with some examples. You may buy any card, but you may only play it if you fulfill its emotion requirement and pay its play cost. Each card has its own rules written on the card that must be followed as closely as possible and may overrule the rulebook.

Power is the main resource in The Argument and must be used wisely. If you spend too much on playing cards, you'll have none left to buy more cards to improve your deck.

Power-and-Emotions.jpg

The Argument uses a phase system that all players play through at the same time, making each moment a tense one. Whether it's accomplishing your goals in the Prep Phase, crushing your opponent in the Debate Phase, or rushing to get the card you need in Study Phase, every moment matters. This is a deckbuilding game, so each player has their own deck, discard pile, and board state called Mind, Forgotten Pile, and Argument respectively.
