Fano

Description

Fano is a high-stakes strategy card game where you act as a conduit for history's greatest thinkers. Their ideas fight through you. Their legacies shape the board. Every action is permanent, every mistake compounds. Victory isn't about power. It's about proof. Fano is a non‑collectible card game that plays like a TCG with chess‑level depth. Each player duels using one suit of a standard deck. Interactions are inspired by octonion multiplication: combat cards, values 1–7, form a seven‑way rock‑paper‑scissors system and can be used to attack, combine, and recruit other combat cards. You advance by conjuring prestige cards, values 8-10, through combining values on the field to create their sum in your hand. Collect all three to promote from Jack to Queen. Promote three times to win the duel. —description from the designer
