## Description
Step into the world of FantasyForm, a solo game where you play as an alchemist in a race against time and a dangerous rival. Your goal is to master the art of transmutation, transforming your body into powerful elemental forms before your opponent can exploit this ability for nefarious purposes. Each turn is a strategic decision: will you face the challenges of the Outlands and the Forge to collect precious essences and shards, or will you risk difficult choices and even take damage in pursuit of your enemy? 

With the collected essences, you can enhance your skills, acquire artifacts, companions, and most importantly, the elemental Forms needed to confront the rival. But beware, time doesn't stop! Every action you take brings the final confrontation closer. When the cards in the Ethereal row start to dwindle, the rival attacks, gaining power or inflicting damage. If you survive this initial strike, you can retaliate with your shards. The damage dealt persists, but chances are limited, as the rival has a finite number of actions. Defeat them before they exhaust their chances and secure victory! FantasyForm is a fast-paced card game with commodity speculation mechanics, perfect for those who enjoy a solo challenge with a fantasy theme and a strategic twist.
