Card Battle Boy (Demo)

Grandpa left a few packs on the table. That's how it starts.

Card Battle Boy is a top-down card collecting adventure in the style of the Game Boy Color classics. Open packs, fill your binder, and build a team of three cards to duel the townsfolk, the convention's best and a rival who builds a deck to beat yours.

Duels play out like a monster battle: your card and theirs roll a die each turn, types decide who has the edge, and switching at the right moment wins games. Every card has a rarity (Common to Mythic), a condition (Damaged to Pristine) and stars you earn by fusing duplicates.

This demo covers the opening chapter, from your apartment to the castle at the end of the Market Village:

- Hundreds of cards across five types, with a type circle to master

- Packs, boosters and dungeon set packs to open, and a binder to fill

- Trainers on every route, a card shop, a tournament and a rival

- Two dungeons with three difficulty tiers each, plus the Raid Hall's boss fights

- A Card School that explains the rules, pack odds included, if you want it

- Keyboard or gamepad, three save slots

The road west opens in the full game. Your demo save carries over.
