Red Riding Hood: Fashion and social media are all she cares about. Posting the next best pic, getting more

followers and likes mean everything!

Sinbad: An explorer that sails the seas with his crew. People are drawn to him and he leaves a lasting impression wherever he goes, usually for performing some form of heroic deed. However, his vanity increases along with his fame.

<Game Features>
●Strategically deep, real-time duels
Understand the strengths and weaknesses of your cards, classified into “Heroes”, “Minions”, “Buildings”, and “Magic”. Choose them wisely to form a strategy and win!

●Guide your strategy with 3 deck types
When a player builds a deck, the game will automatically assign one of the three deck types to it as a way to help set up a strategy.
Assault Decks: Lets you go deep into enemy lines.
Siege Decks: Focuses on attacking long distance.
Counter Decks: Looks for opportunities to counterattack

●Lead your team to victory with 2 skill types
Each Hero has a “Normal Skill” and a “Special Skill”. Special Skills can be used only once by the deck leader, whereas Normal Skills can be used every 30 seconds by one of the Heroes in the deck. These skills can potentially turn the battle around when used correctly.
