About this game

The mysterious ore "Roots" holds the power to manifest imagination, plunging a country into war when dragon-people use it to storm the capital. To fight back, an organization extracts ink from the ore and creates I-mage, a doctrine of magical artwork. Eat/Paint is a dueling card game where players pick between the vastly different playstyles of Dragon or Mage, then dive into a tactical battle that can be symmetrical or asymmetrical based on the roles chosen. As a Dragon, use Roots to energize and reshape your body, but build carefully since Dragons start fragile. As a Mage, use Ink to summon an army, but be frugal as running out of Ink means a lengthy refill. Select your color of Roots or Ink to further customize your gameplan, then out-think your opponent and realize your victory!
