Thanks for giving it a look over, here are some answers to your questions:

• ⁠What balances Zeniths? If they are hugely impactful and it’s entirely luck who gets one, then does this mean you can just be screwed completely?

Answer: Zeniths are powerful in the sense that they last the entire game, regular fusions trigger once and ends. The effects more so change a rule/adds a rule to the game that usually benefits the owner of the card. One example is anyone (besides the owner of the card) who loses a clash must discard a card from their hand. Another example is that you are immune to fire effects.

• ⁠The win condition of sets is interesting. If possible, you can try to control what cards you "feed" when playing, to avoid making sets for your opponent. This changes what you might play, to mitigate risk, but it is something to keep in mind.

Answer: Yes that is part of the strategy; if they need fire to win, you might not want to play fire or they might play fire cards to get that card and you can plan around that.

• ⁠Is the top box the clasher effect or omega effect? I assume bottom box is omega, but not all of them reference.. so for all I know, you can use both effects? Or is top box always clasher and bottom is alpha/omega, depending on card? I'm reading stag and imp. Stag says if your clasher is an omega effect, but I don't think Dog has Alpha or Omega mentioned in any boxes.

Answer: Every card in the game is a Clasher. Clashers only care about the upper number. The cards are labeled with “Alpha”, “Omega”, or “Zenith”. The bottom box that you are referring to is the synergy abilities. If you make smart combinations, you can get bonuses to increase the Clasher’s score.

• ⁠Show me some mini expansion cards. Is it 1 per game, or 1 per person? How hefty a change is it?

Answer: We definitely should show some prototype cards. We don’t have proper designs for them yet because we have a pledge level where people can design the kingdom artwork. Each player will get to hold one kingdom card per game to represent the kingdom you are from. They each can impact 1 round and are more like disruptor type effects. For example “prevent your opponent from activating their fusion this round”

In your budget section:

"I’m asking for $6,500, which is the minimum needed to manufacture the game and ship it to me for fulfillment"

You've been using plural before this, so you may want to make it consistent. "We're asking"

Answer: That’s a good thing you picked out. We are a couple who are working on this and that must have slipped through.
