Starstone

Starstone is a competitive trading card game built around creatures, spells and resource management. Players gather elemental Shards, strengthen and evolve their creatures, cast spells and place stealth traps while contesting control of the field. Creatures are not limited to combat: they can also be sent into the Mine to harvest the resources that support the player’s wider strategy.

The economy is described by the developers as working in a manner similar to a real-time strategy game. Players can invest early for a longer-term advantage or give up future growth in order to put immediate pressure on their opponent. This resource system is intended to replace mulligans and dead draws with ongoing strategic choices during a match.

A roguelike adventure mode, in which players build a deck and evolve their forces across a changing journey, is listed as coming soon. The game also includes a setting with its own lore and characters, and the developers state that new cards, modes, challenges and strategies are planned to be released on a seasonal basis.
