Kortstrid Arena

Kortstrid battles happen on a 4×4 board. Each player brings 9 cards. Directional values decide clashes. Integrity decides survival. Destroyed cards fracture into materials that fuel the Forge.

A dark fantasy Kortstrid arena with a 4x4 card battle in progress.

4×4 board

Sixteen spaces. Nine cards per player. Five in hand, four in reserve—draw after each placement.

Directional stats

North, east, south, and west values decide clashes on shared edges. Integrity decides whether a card shatters.

Capture and shatter

Win the edge, capture the card, and deal damage. At zero integrity, the card shatters into a remnant you control.

Echo Materials

Shattered cards grant materials from their composition. Your owned cards are never deleted by battle.

Match flow

Fill the board. Control the most spaces. Tiebreakers use your unplayed card's rarity and stats.
