User summary

A Japanese indie card game with the Tower of Babel theme.

Using card drafting, players select cards from hand and reveal simultaneously. These cards are used to build a personal tower. Each round, cards are drawn to see where and how God's wrath is directed, which may destroy the player's towers unless they build carefully.

The game ends when one player managed to build the 6th floor, at which point the highest valued tower wins (1 point per building block, and 1 per floor)
