Monad*
The aim of the game is to collect round cards known as "Monads," resembling Yin-Yang symbols. Players achieve this by trading, purchasing, and jumping with other cards.
The game uses a deck of six colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple), with half classified as "warm" and the other half as "cool." Players start with a designated color identity, six Commons, and a "Bonus" card, while higher-numbered cards can be obtained through trading pairs, jumping to higher stacks, or purchasing cards, with Monads available for 80 points. The first player to collect a predetermined number of Monads wins.
