The Eclipse is a DungeonCrawler that uses a trick-taking game for combat.

 The Moon and Sun will alternate during battle and exploration - affecting how combat is resolved. 

Players will level up  and replace cards in their deck  to improve their odds.

Trick-Taking Combat Notes: If you’re not sure what a tricking-taking game is, there is a short tutorial to help in-game. I have notes below as well.

• Combat is resolved with a trick-taking game.
• Each trick will involve 2 cards played by both the enemy and the player.
• The first card played each trick will set the winning suite.
• Any card can be played, but only cards matching the lead suite will count. Wild cards count towards any suite.
• If a wild leads a suite, then all suites count that trick.
• ~~~~
• The loser of a trick will take damage for each card played
• If the enemy and player both play a winning card with the same value, a PARRY occurs
• Parried cards will be set aside and the loser of the next trick will take additional damage for any cards that were parried. This can stack until a parry does not occur
• ~~~~
• A coin flip determines who leads when a battle starts
• The loser of a trick, will start the next turn
• After a parry, a coin flip determines who leads next
• ~~~~
• During The Eclipse, the Moon and Sun will alternate
• Under a Sun, the HIGHEST card will win the trick
• Under a Moon the LOWEST card will win the trick
• Cards with Moon or Sun symbols will  change the win condition during battle
