Here are the rules
You win when you have no cards in hand.
When the game starts players can choose Monster Overlord or Heroes. The player with Monster Overlord deck starts.
A round is composed of each player turns.
On the start of the turn, the player can play any special card if desired. Then the player must play either a Hero card (when playing with Heroes) or a Monster card (if you are the Monster Overlord). Then the game goes to next turn.
The player playing next can play any special card if desired. Then the player must play either a Hero card (when playing with Heroes) or a Monster card (if you are the Monster Overlord), but the card played MUST be either a higher Rank or the same Class, this is called a valid card. If a player does not have a valid card in his hand, that player draws cards until a valid card is drawn and played. Then the turn ends.
With Monster Overlord cards and Heroes cards on the table, the dungeon encounter is resolved, and all cards on table leave play - the Hero cards go back to the village and the Monsters cards perish. The player who had the highest Rank card get to start the next round. If all cards had the same Rank, the last player to play starts the next round.
The Rank is the number on the corner, Class is represented by the symbol and color of the card. Special cards have no Rank or Class.
The player who draws the last deck card loses.

Great work, congrats on the game!
Continue with the development if possible.
Pros
- The art is really awesome
- I super-like the UI design
- I like that you put in the rules and easy sound manipulation - UX design
- Super nice sound design
Cons or glitches
- It seems some text explaining the next action appears for a brief millisecond and then vanishes?
- A limited number of cards - current version's replayability. Completely understandable for the amount of time used ;)
- The music beginning again in the menus and looping so much can get a little annoying
An AI to play against would have been cool. I used a colleague, but both being novices we didn't know what we were doing.
I didn't have sound on Linux, not sure if that is a bug, or maybe it was something wrong on my end.
Interesting to see a card game on Ludum Dare.
Well done.
Good stuff!
On Linux, starting it via the script in the root directory failed with `ERROR: Unable to find game data files`. But following instruction in the README and starting the .exe with wine worked well.
I thought that you could polish it and release it.
