STORYLINE

Metal Minds is a science fiction card game of hand and resource management where you play as a psychic agent indentured to the government of a colonial planet. Using your gifts, you can construct intricate machines and create powerful energy spheres called rift orbs to power cities.

A squad of agents is dispatched to a remote mountain range, rich in resources, to harvest rift orbs. While there, your team discovers some mysterious abandoned factories. The government promises release from servitude to whoever can be the first to unlock the factory secrets. As a result, a fierce competition ensues.
