Yomi is a fighting game in card form and it's the competitive card game you should be playing. Just like in a fighting game, you have to learn your character's strengths and weaknesses, read your opponents' tendencies, and land combos when you can. Yomi is [URL="sirlin.squarespace.com/articles/game-balance-and-yomi"]highly balanced[/URL] at the expert level, and it expresses the values of a [I]fair[/I] competitive game. You always have a full strength deck on an [URL="sirlin.squarespace.com/posts/sirlin-on-game-design-ep3-uneven-playfields"]even playfield[/URL] with your opponents.
Yomi has [URL="www.sirlingames.com/pages/yomi-card-images"]20 characters[/URL] (10 from the base game, and 10 more as an expansion), each with their own unique abilities and playstyles, leading to a whopping 210 different matchups.
Yomi is packed with features.

[B]Inscribed Cards[/B]
There's also a huge new feature called "inscribed cards." Every single Yomi card can be upgraded to an inscribed card that records your exploits! Whenever you use an inscribed card, it remembers a LOT of statistics about its fate. For example:
[LIST]
<*>How often do you hit with Dragonheart?
<*>Do your Stone Walls reflect a lot of damage?
<*>How many cards do you get with Flagstone Tax?
<*>How often do your Crash Bombs backfire?
<*>And much, much more!

You can upgrade your cards even more with GOLD inscribed cards. These gold foils are sparkly and shiny. They have no gameplay advantage of course, because it wouldn't make sense to have a competitive game where some players had weaker cards, but wow are they stylish!

You get inscribed cards (and occasionally gold ones!) just from playing the game. You can also buy packs of them and even scrap unwanted cards into dust that you can use to craft any particular inscribed (or gold inscribed) card that you want.
[B]Even More Features[/B]
The Steam version of Yomi has some more great features that we've had in the other versions for a while now.
[LIST]
<*>Bots with two different difficulty settings
<*>An endless Survival mode
<*>A leaderboard system that lets you graduate through the student ranks, then compete in the master ranks. It gives the feeling of progression, but it's ultimately completely fair Elo behind the scenes.
<*>Save and watch replays of your games.
<*>Watch replays from any players, including the top players on the leaderboards!
<*>Powerful EX versions of all characters
[/LIST]

Every character has an overpowered EX version. The EX characters are not intended for competitive play, but they're really fun to mess around with. They all have new character cards with more powerful abilities, and a new rank of face cards called Destiny cards that give them a new special move of some sort. The destiny card are really flavorful too, letting each character do more of what they always wished they could. EX characters can also use the power up mechanic to get ANY cards from their deck, not just Aces.
You can play against AI that uses EX characters and you can unlock them to play in 1p modes. You can also directly buy them if you want them more quickly. We're also announcing the price of directly buying EX characters is now 80% off! They're just 99 cents rather than $5.
