  • [3]variable_player_powers— “each deck contains a unique mix of cards, each deck requires a slightly different playing style
  • [3]attrition_clock— “at the bottom of both decks are three Freeze cards; when every base is Frozen the game is over
  • [2]hand_management_under_draw— “players play their cards as fast as they like, trying to win each Base by playing more Hits
