🐍 Beat the Basilisk

A card battle of wits and sacrifice. Tip the scale in your favor — or be devoured.

⚔️ How to Play

1. Draw cards — You and the Basilisk each draw one card per round.
2. Sacrifice creatures — Click your own creatures on the board to sacrifice them. Each sacrifice pays 1 blood toward your next creature's cost.
3. Play creatures — Select a card from your hand, then click an empty lane. If it costs blood, you must sacrifice enough creatures first.
4. Cast spells — Some cards are rituals or curses. Targeted spells require clicking a Basilisk creature.
5. End your turn — Click "End Turn" to let the Basilisk respond.
6. Combat — After both sides act, creatures in each lane fight. Surviving creatures push the scale toward their side.

⚖️ Winning

• Push the scale to +5 (Easy), +5 (Medium), or +5 (Hard) to win.
• If the Basilisk pushes it below −7 (Easy), −6 (Medium), or −5 (Hard), you lose.
• Run out of cards? Fatigue deals escalating scale damage each round.
• No sacrifice fodder? A free creature joins your hand each turn.
