An easy to learn game

Totemic is quite simple.

Each player will select an animal totem to play. Each animal approaches the game in a unique way, utilizing only three cards: one for the animal itself and two unique aspect cards that will be shuffled in with the 16 basic asset cards. This small deck of just 20 cards drives all of the action and strategy of the game

3 actions and you’re in

Turns are quick in Totemic, as players will choose from only three basic actions: draw, invoke the action of a card in the offering, or challenge your opponent! When challenged, a player has three choices: accept, submit, or increase the stakes by opting to threaten. The player with the highest strenght from the cards played in the challenge is the winner. The other player will lose power equal to the totem level. Play continues until one (or both) animals have zero or less power.

The player with the most power at the end of the game wins.
