## Description
Yomi is that card game that transports you straight into the ring, simulating the adrenaline rush of a fighting game! The idea is simple: you and your opponent face off, controlling unique characters, each with their own deck of attacks, defenses, and special abilities. The core mechanic revolves around an eternal game of rock-paper-scissors, where you choose between attacking, blocking, or attempting a special move, all while trying to read your opponent's mind. It's a duel of wits and prediction, where timing and anticipating your opponent's moves are key to victory. Each card played is a decision that can lead to devastating combos or a solid defense that rewards you with more options. The decks, besides being thematic, also function as regular poker decks, with incredible illustrations that add a special touch. With 10 different characters in the original release, each with their own fighting style and deck, variety is guaranteed. Yomi isn't just luck; it's pure strategy and game reading, capturing the essence of the mind games seen in video game fighting tournaments. Get ready to predict, bluff, and knock out your opponent!
