About the game
Prepare for a magical duel in Nezen! This light strategy game pits you and your opponent against each other in an elemental magic battle where adaptability is the key to victory. Each turn, you'll move your character across the map, cast spells by swapping cards from your hand with the board, and aim for the perfect play. The first player to win two rounds claims the glory!

Nezen offers two modes to satisfy everyone. In the Base Mode, you'll learn the essential mechanics with straightforward spells and a clear objective: deal 7 hits to win the round. It's the ideal starting point for newcomers.

For veterans seeking more depth, the Tactical Mode adds strategic layers with four optional and independent modifications. Imagine setting up the map in novel ways, using more complex tactical spells that react to the cards on the board, casting powerful one-time affinity spells, or even dueling in new environments that alter elemental instability. In Tactical Mode, the challenge increases to 10 hits per round, and victory demands even more cunning.

With moderate language dependency, Nezen is a dynamic duel that requires attention to detail and planning, ensuring exciting matches for those who enjoy a good tactical card combat.
