VALENCE
Is a strategic, competitive trading card game where two players take on the role of scientists in a shared laboratory. The goal is to reduce your opponent’s HP to zero by playing **Molecules** while managing dynamic **Environment Factors**—pH, Temperature, Solvent, and Light—that affect all cards in play. Each player builds a **60-card deck** tailored to a specific **Class**, granting access to unique **Atom types** and limiting molecule choices accordingly. For example, a **Hydrologist** works only with Hydrogen and Oxygen, while a **Metallurgist** focuses on Iron and Copper. The lab environment starts neutral but shifts based on player actions, influencing card effectiveness. Players must balance offensive strategies with disrupting the opponent’s conditions. Running out of cards or failing to draw when required results in an automatic loss. Victory comes either by depleting the opponent’s HP or forcing them to draw from an empty deck. With no automatic environmental rules, every move demands careful planning and adaptability. This blend of resource.
