Many games have already done great achievements with the genre, and those who play them have clear standards and definitions of what it is. There are variations on the theme, but the basic idea is that people want to have fun. It's an important obligation of games in the "deck-building" genre to do this well, and to make sure that the gameplay behaviour is fun. In this game, there are cards. There are two main types of cards: Regular Cards and The Monarch Cards. Regular Cards are randomly selected and appear at the bottom of the screen, defined as 'your Hand', every turn, and you can play them as long as you have energy. They can change the environment in the dungeon, trigger certain situations, or cast curses that affect enemies and allies. The Monarch Cards can only be used when The Monarch, Dark Lord (You!), is on the field, and represent the magic, abilities, and skills used by the protagonist himself rather than environmental events. Both of these types of cards are randomly selected to come into your hand, so it's advantageous to have your main character on the field, preferably in command of the battlefield.

This is why your cards need to be carefully selected: you can only choose a limited number of cards to take part in defensive battles, so you need to think about which cards will give your current army an advantage. If you've assembled a bunch of fire-powered troops, and the only thing they do is flood the dungeon, that's not going to help you in battle. If you find yourself struggling to keep your enemies at bay, and you're not getting much out of your cards, you should consider "rebuilding" your current deck. Your deck composition can turn the tide of battle, which is why deckbuilding is such an important aspect of this game. That's it for the "deck-building" part of [b]Vambrace: Dungeon Monarch[/b]!
