This card game, designed by Michael Yang and published in 2024, drops you into a realm where concepts like Darkness and Water are pitted against each other in a quest for ultimate understanding. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be diving into the action in no time, selecting three Protocols to test and playing cards into their command lines to breach the threshold and defeat your opponent.

With a playtime of just 20 to 30 minutes, Compile: Main 1 is a fast-paced, strategic game that challenges you to think critically and act quickly. As a science fiction card game, it's perfect for fans of the genre looking for a thrilling competition. With its unique blend of deck construction, hand management, and area majority mechanics, Compile: Main 1 offers a compelling experience that will keep you coming back for more, and with the possibility of expanding the game with Compile: Aux 1, there's even more to explore in this thought-provoking world.
