Notatio

Notatio is the epic music card strategy game where you play as a historical music composer trying to defeat your opponent through might and music.

To begin, the player selects a composer to play as.

Then, the player selects 2 melodic profiles based on melodies associated with the selected composer.

Each melodic profile consists of a frequency count of the first several notes of each melody in a radial graph pointing inwards towards the center.

Once the game starts, the player will have a set of cards dealt to the player's hand.

There are two card types: regulars and special abilities.

Each regular card is labeled with a pitch and a point value for constructing your melodies, attacking your opponent, or defending against attacks.

Each point value represents the card's attack value, defense value, health, and amount of pitches that can be used to construct melodies.

Each special ability card is labeled with an ability and a number of turns left before expiry when activated.

To read more about each special ability, please hover over the question mark on the special ability card.

The field is limited to 4 regular card slots and 1 special ability card slot.

Every time the player moves a regular card from the hand to the field or attacks the opponent's field, the card cannot be used again until the next turn.

In addition, regular cards are used up automatically when attacking the opponent directly from the field.

Every regular card in the field is restricted to the lane where the regular card is deployed.

When a melody is completed, using the melody will instantly deal a large amount of damage directly to the opponent's health equal to double the number of points used to construct the melody.

Therefore, melodies that require more points to construct will deal more damage.

Any unused point values from regular cards used to construct melodies will be refunded to the player's hand.

If any player hits 0 health, the player loses.

Whoever is left standing at the end of the game wins.

If all the cards in the deck are used up and no cards can be dealt to either of the players' hand, the game is declared a draw and no one wins.

Are you ready to make musical history?
