# Gameplay
**Deck Building:**
Players begin by building a deck with a predetermined number of cards.
A typical deck may consist of a mix of Heroes, dragons,monsters and armies, all chosen strategically.
**Battlefield:**
The game board represents the battlefield, divided into two sides, one for each player.
Each side has a row for Heroes, a row for dragons and monsters and a row of armies.
**Turn-Based Combat:**
The game proceeds in turns, with each player taking one turn at a time.
On their turn, a player can perform several actions:
**• Play a card from their hand onto the battlefield.**
**• Use the abilities of the cards already on the battlefield.**
**• Attack the opponent’s cards with their own cards.**
**Card Abilities:**
Each card has unique abilities that can include attacks, buffs,
debuffs, healing, and more. Players strategically use these abilities to gain
an advantage.
**Victory Conditions:**
The primary victory condition is to defeat the opponent’s
hero. However, players can also achieve victory by fulfilling specific
conditions unique to certain cards or through other strategic means.
