Overview

Cabals: The card game is a hybrid between a traditional trading card game and a turn based strategy game set around the 1930s with a lot of mystic iconography, spirituality, and technological elements over six cabals forming three alliances.

The game is played every turn by playing cards on designated tiles, first only your stronghold, then certain tiles after they are conquered. Other tiles provide the player with resources, these are needed to summon cards and activate abilities, including the hero's ability. The game is over when either stronghold is conquered or one player reaches 60 domination points, these are points generated every turn by certain tiles.

Cabals

Each cabal represents a part of the world and its mysticism.

Cabal name	Location	Element
Bearclaw Brotherhood	Russia	Shamanism
Danann Covenant	Ireland	Sidh
Vril Society	Germany	Vril Energy
Order of Zahir	Spain	Alchemy
Sons of Osiris	Egypt	Thelema
Dragon Enclave	China	Chinese martial arts

These cabals form three alliances:

The Bearclaw Brotherhood and the Danann Covenant together form the Primal.
The Order of Zahir and the Vril Society together form the Dominion
The Sons of Osiris and Dragon Enclave together form the Nether.

Heroes

Each cabal, except for the Nether cabals, has two heroes. As well, the Primal and Dominion alliance have a dual loyalty hero; every hero that belongs to a single cabal has a unique ability that can be used only once, these are used much like ability cards.

Loyalty

Every card that can be played has a loyalty to it, this is an extra cost above the regular playing cost (top number) of the card; this extra cost can be reduced by your hero's loyalty and by other creatures in play with that loyalty.

power

Every creature has a power (bottom number), this indicates the amount of damage it can deal and how much damage it can sustain before dieing; stamina can be used to increase the amount of damage a creature can take, but won't increase the damage dealt.

Toughness

A creature with toughness has all damage done to it reduced by one, this includes damage from hero abilities, creature abilities, and spells.

Fast/slow attack

An attack is resolved by the three different speeds an attack can have, cards with fast attack strike first, then the card without any special attack speed, and finally the slow attacker will always attack last. If two creatures with the same speed clash, they strike at the same time.
