Equinox Moss Man

Creatures meet for a friendly tournament to demonstrate their magical powers, three of them will prevail. Bets on creatures earn you prestige points. In five rounds, you have turns in which you play one card until one creature disappears from a row, and the round ends. A turn comprises 1) Place bet and reveal, 2) play card – creature, chameleon or tree or none, 3) discard card from hand, 4) replenish hand to eight cards, 5) check for disappearance of a creature – that occurs when there is at least one card on all slots of the current row and only one creature has lowest power. At the end, you score betting chips on champion cards and on slots of creatures that did not disappear.
