About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a high-speed anime duel with Shift: The Single Card CCG! Forget massive decks; here, the battle revolves around ONE single card, packed with tricks and strategies. It acts like an entire deck, with four sides (Gears) offering different abilities and modifiers. Each Gear is like a separate hand, ready to be activated with a cost. To pay this price, you might need to flip a coin or spend 'spirit,' which you earn by taking damage – ironic, right? The goal is simple: deal six damage to your opponent. Each turn, you can attack or 'shift' your card to a different Gear, changing your tactical options. It's a fast-paced game, pocket-friendly and portable, perfect for those who enjoy direct, strategic combat without much fuss. The anime-themed art adds a special touch, appealing to fans of that universe. It's the kind of game you pull out for a quick, surprising match, where every decision counts and luck can turn at any moment with a good 'shift'.
