How to play 

(there is full tutorial in the game, but you can read this if you want):

• Select a group of cards to sell. All cards have base cost and some have effects that will increase cards total cost. You can sell only one group of cards per shop. Press “sell” button to confirm. After you sell items you can buy new cards from the shop. Your objective is to obtain more and more powerful cards. All remaining money will disappear after you leave the shop. (lore-wise there is no money in the game world, this is just an imaginary counter of the value.)

• After you exit shop you can choose a door to 1 of 2 next shops. Door color represents location which affects what cards are sold. Also you can see a modifier above each door. This modifier allows you to gain more value when selling your items.

• After 5 normal shops you will encounter a special shop. There you have only 1 very expensive card to buy. You must buy it, otherwise you lose the game. In this shop you can sell multiple groups of items. Each special item will give you some powerful passive effect.

• You win the game after collecting all 3 special items.

The game is short, but takes multiple tries to win. And you can play a few more times to try other strategies. There is a lot, we checked.
