Description
Magician's Trick Card Battle is a digital collectible card game developed by Studio Arcana and released in 2023 for personal computers and mobile platforms. The game is set in a fictional world where players assume the role of a stage magician competing in a tournament of illusion and deception. The core theme revolves around the manipulation of perception, with cards representing magical tricks, props, and audience reactions. The game features a single-player campaign with a narrative focused on uncovering a conspiracy within the magician's guild, as well as a competitive online multiplayer mode. The art style employs a hand-drawn aesthetic reminiscent of vintage circus posters and playing card designs. The game distinguishes itself through a resource system based on "applause" rather than traditional mana or energy, where players generate points by successfully executing card combinations. The card pool includes over 300 unique cards, categorized into types such as Sleight of Hand, Grand Illusion, and Misdirection. Each card has a numerical power value and a special effect that triggers under specific conditions. The game does not include microtransactions for gameplay advantages; all cards are earned through progression or crafted using in-game currency.
Instructions
Gameplay in Magician's Trick Card Battle is turn-based. Each player begins with a hand of five cards drawn from a constructed deck of exactly forty cards. A match consists of three rounds, and a player wins by securing two rounds. At the start of a round, each player selects three cards to play face-down. Cards are then revealed simultaneously. The player with the higher total power value from the revealed cards wins the round. Ties result in a replay of the round. Power values are modified by card effects, which activate upon reveal. For example, a Misdirection card may reduce the power of an opponent's adjacent card. The Applause resource is generated at the end of each round based on the difference in power values; the winner gains Applause equal to the difference, while the loser gains one Applause. Applause is spent to activate special abilities on cards marked with a star icon. These abilities can be used during the card selection phase of the next round. Controls are optimized for touch and mouse input. On a touchscreen, players tap a card to select it, then tap a slot on the play area to place it face-down. A long press on a card displays its full text and effect. On a keyboard and mouse setup, left-click selects and places cards, while right-click opens a detailed view. The interface includes a hand area at the bottom, a three-slot play area in the center, and an opponent's hand area at the top, which is hidden. A sidebar displays the current Applause count and round number. The game provides a tutorial mode that explains each card type and the resolution order of simultaneous effects.
