Features    Use a deck of chess pieces to hack and slash through hordes of monsters\.    Pick up the basics instantly if you're familiar with chess, or learn in minutes if you aren't\.    Carefully plan your moves to navigate challenging, emergent tactical situations\.    Spend treasure to upgrade your cards with additional powers\.    Blitz through quick 15\-30 minute runs \- or die trying\.    Take on the infinite post\-run Gauntlet to see how long you can survive\.    Pick from 6 characters to conquer 3 dungeons, all requiring an unique approach\.    Progress through Chains, a series of extra difficulty modifiers\.   Not Features    No permanent upgrades, and not much that needs unlocking\. The progress and satisfaction come from your growing mastery of the game's elegant systems\!    No complex and varied builds\. The shops provide a few key decisions, but the bulk of the roguelike depth lies in how you approach the emergent combat puzzles\!
