01The board
This is what you see when a match starts. 3 zones in the middle — Dead Zone, The Scar, and Genesis Core. Your cards are at the bottom, the bot is top-right. The top bar shows Turn, Bitszen (energy), and Glory (your reward for winning). The war zone rail on the left lets you switch the arena backdrop. On the right, the power bar under each portrait shows total strength across all zones.

02Deploy a card
Click a card in your hand, then click a zone to deploy it. Each card has a cost (left pip) and power (right pip). Here we deployed a card to The Scar — the score jumps to 0 vs 3 in our favour. The bot also deployed face-down cards (you can't see them until the reveal phase). You can deploy multiple cards per turn if you have enough Bitszen.

03Building up
Turn 2. More energy means more cards. The Scar now shows 3 vs 4 — we're pulling ahead. The bot deployed to the top right. Notice the SYNC button is now available — it's a bluff mechanic that doubles your Glory stakes. The battle log (bottom-right) tracks every deploy, ability, and score change.

04Early game
Turn 3. The board is taking shape. The Scar is at 4 vs 7 — we hold it. The bot stacked Genesis Core. See the two numbers next to each zone? Left is bot power, right is yours. The zone badge below tells you who's winning. Your total power is 11 vs the bot's 5. Draw cards arrive on turns 3 and 5 to keep your hand fresh.

05Mid game decisions
Turn 4. Now the decisions get real. Dead Zone: 6 vs 0 — bot leads. The Scar: 5 vs 11 — we hold. Genesis Core: contested. You only need 2 out of 3 zones to win. Dead Zone looks lost — don't waste cards there. Focus on holding The Scar and fighting for Genesis Core. Card abilities are firing — check the battle log for details.

You only need 2 of 3 zones
Abandon lost zones, double down on winnable ones
06The final push
Turn 5. The board is nearly full. The Scar: 12 vs 16 — still ours. Genesis Core: 7 vs 17 — dominant. Dead Zone is lost at 6-0. Our total power is 33 vs bot's 25. This is when SYNC matters — if you're confident you'll win, press it to double your Glory. One more turn to go.

Power: 33 vs 25
SYNC to double stakes
07Final turn
Turn 6 — last chance. Bot power surged to 47 vs our 45. The Scar flipped: 28 vs 22 — bot leads now! Genesis Core: 12 vs 23 — still ours. This is the tension of HSS — nothing is safe until the final resolve. Deploy your last cards wisely. After this turn, whoever holds 2 of 3 zones wins. Win or lose, you earn Glory and climb the leaderboard.
Turn 6/6 — final turn
