## Description
Ever felt like your own personality was fighting against you? In Jekyll vs. Hyde, that feeling isn't just metaphorical—it's the core mechanic! This is an intense two-player duel that dives deep into Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale. On one side, you have Dr. Jekyll, desperately trying to maintain his sanity and protect his identity. On the other, the relentless Mr. Hyde, whose sole goal is to consume the human side and take full control.

The gameplay utilizes a trick-taking system, but with a constant twist of tension. The game unfolds over three frantic rounds. At the end of each, you compare who won more tricks to determine how much the identity marker shifts. But here is the catch: evil is relentless! Even if Dr. Jekyll wins more tricks in a round, the marker can still progress toward Hyde's side. It is a true psychological tug-of-war where balance is precarious.

If the marker reaches the end of the identity track, Hyde wins instantly, and darkness prevails. On the other hand, if Jekyll manages to survive all three rounds without being dominated, he wins, keeping his essence intact. It is a fast-paced game with simple rules but heavy-hitting decisions, perfect for those who enjoy direct, thematic duels with a touch of 'take that' to disrupt your opponent's plans. If you love quick card games that deliver strong narrative impact in just a few minutes, get ready for this internal struggle!
