Accumulate "Blood" whenever your creatures deal damage (1 blood point per point of dmg dealt) or a creature you control dies. Use that blood to play creatures from your hand. Overwhelm your opponent. Each creature has a Blood cost, Blood points granted when they die, a damage number that they automatically deal if you attack with them, an amount of hit points, and possibly a special ability. Your creatures may be augmented by playing "Evolutions" on them as well which get shuffled back into the deck if the creature they are played on is killed. "Action" cards may be played as well, resulting in one time use abilities or bonuses that last until the end of your turn.
