Card Game

A playbook for card games — card data, the deck/hand/discard zones, the turn structure, and
how card effects resolve. This is a compositional skill: it models cards as data and wires
them to UI. It does not re-teach data assets or UI nodes; it defines the zone model, the draw
machinery, and the effect-resolution rules that keep a card game correct and bug-free.

When to use

Use when building any game where the core objects are cards moving between zones
(deck → hand → play → discard): deckbuilder, TCG/CCG, solitaire, roguelike deckbuilder.

Use when designing draw/shuffle/reshuffle, turn structure, card costs, or how effects resolve.

When not to use: board/tile state with matching rules → puzzle. RPG with an
incidental card battler → start from rpg. For defining cards as assets, use godot-resources
/ unity-scriptableobjects; for the hand/drag UI, use godot-ui-control.
