A basketball-themed Roguelike Deckbuilder. Each player in a basketball team is represented by 3 skill cards like 2 and 3 point shots, rebounds, steals, blocks, assists, crossover moves. There are also coaching cards like timeouts, challenge or substitution.
The cards are played during a match with a goal of outscoring your opponent. You can play an elimination tournament, or a season where you need to qualify into playoffs.
You can trade cards with other teams, duplicate, remove and upgrade them. You can draft new cards at the end of each quarter and keep one of those permanently at the end of each match.
There's a multiplayer mode as well, where you can play PvP matches when you meat during the competition.
