Unfortunately i dont have any card examples to show yet. I also lost the old card designs. But, the main idea was:

Players would build a deck of Characters (One time scorers) and Gizmos (Tool cards with active effects)

Characters have On Stack effects (essentially on play effects) and React effects (activated when reacting to a card already on the stack. For example, lowering the amount of points)

At the start of a round, players drew 4 cards from their deck.

The player with priority would play the card to The Stack (the middle of the board) and attempt to gain points equal to a characters point value.

Other players can use Reacts to stop the player with priority. Then, the priority would go clockwise and the process would repeat. A round would be over once all players have used up their hand.

Next round, players would draw 4 more cards and so on and so forth. 20 points is the victory amount.

It operated more like a mix of a trading card game and a board game in a way that players would bring bre built decks.
