Just like in a fighting game, you have to know your character, know the matchup, and know your opponent. Each character has a deck that follows the same conventions as deck of playing cards. This makes it easy to learn the contents of your deck: numbered cards are normal moves, face cards are special moves, and aces are super moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYomi\u003c\/em\u003e is a competitive card game specifically designed and balanced to hold up to tournament play with many years of playtesting and tournaments behind it.

Valuation refers to your ability to judge the relative value of moves (or cards) as they change over the course of the game. Yomi, the game's title, refers to your ability to \"read\" the patterns that your opponent unconsciously falls into. It's designed for high level play to be as interesting as possible and as balanced as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGame Modes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1v1, the main mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2v2 Team Battle, inspired by video games such as Marvel vs Capcom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA solo mode to learn basic proficiency against an automated opponent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA 3v3 mode (can be played as 1v1 with multiple characters) inspired by video games such as King of Fighters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGameplay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach player shuffles their deck and draws an opening hand of seven cards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTurns are simultaneous and players draw one card per turn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach player plays a combat card face down, then reveals the cards simultaneously.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eResolve combat.
