About this game

18 card game (standard deck) simultaneous action game developed for Ludum Dare 43, a 48 hour game jam themed on "Sacrifices Must Be Made". You win by making a stack of 3 cards on 1 pile or 1 of your cards on top of each pile. Sacrifice low cards to the pit to destroy an opponent's higher card on the pile. When both players play to the pit the higher card gets returned to the owner's hand and the lower card is discarded.
