It's a card game based off of Martial Arts, now before you start groaning, there's no walking on water, or crazy stuff like that. They take real world Martial Arts and try to make the game as realistic as possible. There's definitely a Bruce Lee mentality as they encourage you to mix up cards as you see fit, rather than being slated into styles. The creators are very receptive to feedback and very involved, they really are great at handling the project.
