Win by Definition

Win by Definition is a one-player card game adventure. You play a role in a subspace in a world that should not exist, explore to discover what you are, and challenge different ways of achieving victory.

Cards define the rules

You play cards and carry out their effects: drawing cards, sending them to the graveyard, exiling things and even using cards to enter stages or move around the world. You can acquire and own cards to battle others. Victory can come from playing a card whose effect is simply “win.”

The rules are not fixed in advance. What you draw each turn, how many cards you draw and where they come from, where your hand is, whether there are opponents, and whether life points exist are all undefined until a stage begins.

Card effects

The effects include adding a card to your hand, discarding 100 cards from your hand to the graveyard, setting your life point to 2, or winning if you have at least 30 cards in your graveyard. Other effects can define “graveyard” to mean “hand,” play a sound file, change the background to a jagged tile, or make the field hidden information that you cannot see.
