🗑️ Discard Phase

Humility (Power) & Maturity

Start at 3/10 Humility (Power). Humility (Power) is changed only by card effects (e.g. "Gain X Humility (Power)", "Resist an Ambush → Gain X −3 Humility (Power)") and by failing temptations: −1 Humility (Power) if you have any; if Humility (Power) is already 0, the overflow forces a discard per point — from hand OR Cost Zone (your choice). Placing cards in the Cost Zone does not change Humility (Power).

Reach Maturity L3 on all righteous players to win. Level up Maturity by playing Maturity-type cards: each resolved Maturity card raises your Maturity level by 1 (0 → 1 → 2 → 3).

Right-click the Humility (Power) or Maturity badge to adjust either stat manually (house rules, testing, or card effects not yet implemented).

✦ Maturity Abilities — "Mature Together"

The Righteous team can unlock shared abilities. Each time all players reach the next Maturity Level (L1, L2, L3), you collectively choose one ability for the whole team — free. You may also purchase an ability by spending Cost (11 high-tier / 7 low-tier) right after your own Cost Zone phase (from the abilities bar, bottom-left).

Toggle the whole system on/off in the game menu (Maturity Abilities) or with ?matAbilities=0. These Righteous abilities are also available in ⚔️ Duel mode (the lone Righteous seat unlocks them by leveling up or purchasing with Cost).

Win Conditions

🏆 Righteous Win: All players reach Maturity L3 with no active evil temptations on the field.

Prefer head-to-head? Try ⚔️ Duel Mode (Righteous vs Evil decks) — its rules appear here when you launch a duel.

Humility (Power) Loss at 0 (Overflow Rule)

If a card causes you to lose Humility (Power) while already at 0, you must discard 1 card per Humility (Power) lost from your hand or Cost Zone.
