The Little Life

“The Little Life” is a strategic card game which depicted a tale of three unique tiny creatures—the Crystal, the Fungus, and the Flora—striving to prepare themselves to explore a vast world. With the goal of constructing a new body from the remnants of a fallen “giant”, each species possesses distinct strengths and weaknesses. Your mission is to reach the perfect balance between cooperation and competition, leveraging their abilities to thrive in this enchanting adventure. Will you guide them to success after 3 years?

The Flora perform photosynthesis, the Crystal are solid, and the Fungus? The Fungus are very active. (relatively speaking).

Meanwhile, the roots of the Flora can damage the Crystal, the areas where Crystal grow are unsuitable for Fungus, and Fungus erode plants. 

At the end of each round, these little creatures will try to expand their territory. 

•   In the spring, everyone is equal; 

•  the scorching summer sun gives Flora an advantage;

•   autumn belongs to the Fungus;

•   winter is the favorite season of the cold-loving Crystal. 

Starting from the second year, players will have a chance to see upgraded versions: 

•   Moss—pacifists that can coexist with any race; 

•   Rocks—absolute defenders that even abandon expansion; 

•   Mold—crazy fighter of Fungus, but they bring high rewards. *Of course, they aren’t invincible either.*

Upgraded versions can only be planted on their base forms.

Additionally, from the second year, players will be able to see visual scales to help guide these little creatures towards achieving wonderful harmony, Lets taking that Tiny step forward.
