Shit, I've been recommending this game for years and never did a review. The game mechanics is so fun and unique that I've replayed each deck several times despite not even being into the fetishes presented. If you're more into deck builders than porn, this is the game for you.
Basically, you start with resource cards that you activate to buy more cards, which can more efficiently add resources or has some other effect. The cards you buy then cycle into your deck and can be played in subsequent turns. Each round, your opponent deals some TF damage to you and the shop refreshes, pulling 5 random cards from a pool. As you get more transformed, increasingly poweful, expensive, and fetishy cards enter the pool, phasing out lower TF level cards from the shop. A card that appears at TF 10, for example, will no longer appear in the shop above a TF score of 18. The goal is to build a powerful deck as fast and efficiently as you can and fully transform your opponent in the deck building phase to advance to the boss fight phase. Like in the first phase, your goal is to pile on as many damage and resources as you can to transform the boss before they can do the same to you. However, you won't be able to buy cards, but your resources also deal TF damage. The boss fight phase is basically a test of your deck building skill, doing heavy damage and/or mitigating certain effects every turn. They become increasingly more challenging with each ascension level, having passive effects that punish you for being too reliant on certain strategies. Overall, the game has a good mix of challenges, fun card mechanics and themes, and great pacing. I can't recommend it enough for anyone that's an avid deck builder fan.
