Card

A card is the basic and fundamental element within The Spoils. Each card is unique and performs an array of varying purposes. Taken together, cards are what comprise a deck.

Anatomy of a Card
The six different types of cards are called Faction, Resource, Character, Tactic, Item, and Location. Faction and resource cards are special, but the remaining card types all have the same basic parts.


 * Name — A card’s name is written at the top in large letters. Just below you’ll find the subtitle, a descriptive line of text related to the card’s overall theme.
 * Cost Number — A card’s cost number appears in the upper left corner. It represents the number of resources needed to play the card.
 * Threshold — A card’s threshold consists of resource icons in the upper left corner, just below the cost number. It represents the resource icons you must control in order to play the card.
 * Battle Stats — A card’s battle stats appear in the upper right corner, consisting of strength (STR), life (LIFE), and speed (SPD). All characters have these numbers which define how they behave in battles. In addition, some items actually affect a character’s battle stats. Those adjustments are conveniently represented in the item’s upper right corner, preceded by a “+” or “-” symbol.
 * Type Line — A card’s type line appears in the middle, just below the artwork. Written on this line are its trade, type, and subtypes  (which are located after the dash). Subtypes are descriptive words that sometimes interact with other cards during the game. Not every card has subtypes.
 * Rules Text — A card’s rules text appears on the bottom half, just below the type line. This text explains what the card can do during the game. Some paragraphs of rules text begin with threshold icons. These paragraphs are only active while you control the appropriate resource icons.
 * Flavor Text - Any text written in italics is not part of the rules text; it’s usually just a descriptive paragraph relating to the card’s overall theme or a simple reminder.
 * Card Info — A card’s collector info appears at the bottom, just below the rules text. The set icon identifies which set this card belongs to. The rarity is either  common,  uncommon,  rare, or  ultra rare and it defines how often you’ll find the card in a booster pack. The collector number helps you organize your cards. For example, “196/220” means it’s the 196th card in a set of 220 cards.
 * Structure (Locations Only) — A location’s structure appears in the upper right corner instead of battle stats. It represents the amount of damage it takes to destroy the location.
