Ghyll Collectible Card Game

I've wanted to do a card game, of any sort, for a while. Here's one take.

Introduction

• Inspirations: If you know Magic: The Gathering, think of it as an equivalent of what I'd like to build, and what this game should be. The rules will be a lot simpler, however, but the amount of deck possibilities, and support for expansions, should be similar.

• Goal: The goal of the game, as a player, is to defeat your opponent. Your character does this by enforcing enough consensus reality that your opponent has to believe it. The metric for believability is measured in Intellectual Stamina: when your opponent's Intellectual Stamina is depleted, he can no longer disbelieve in your reality, and must accept defeat.

• Implementation: It'll be PHP, browser-based, and integrated with the Drupal content management system. This is not up for discussion, for numerous reasons. No, I will not get into those reasons, because you won't sway me from them. Simple!
