Incremental Engine Builder

Hey! Thanks for trying the game. Here's some help to get you situationed:

Winning

You win the game if you get

to 20. It's harder than it sounds!

Alternatively, you win if you have a card in your tableau with a Do: that says 'win the game' and you fulfill its When: condition.

Playing The Game

Every card costs

and every card has a When: condition that will activate when its in your tableau. When it's activated, it will then do whatever its Do: is.

If you don't like any of the cards that are available, click

button to reload the market cards. This costs a

but if you don't have any, it'll just cost

The tricky thing is you don't have much resources. You lose

each time you buy a card and every time you click the

button and don't have any

And you only have so many cards that can fit in your tableau. (

)

But the cards you buy give you more of these resources! But only if you fulfill its When: condition.

Some of the cards do weird stuff!

Instead of giving you resources, some cards convert resources you already have to other resources. Like (

-> 4

) will trade 1 of your

for 4

but be careful! Don't run out of

Some cards only activate when cards in your tableau are destroyed. When a card tries to convert and it doesn't have any of that source resource, the card is destroyed.

Anyways, try not to worry too much about every little detail. Just have some fun and don't worry if you lose. It's how you play the game!

Losing

If you ever run out of
