You play cards to build towards possible resolutions while disrupting what your opponent is building.<\/p><p>Cards within a sequence don't have to be played in a fixed order. Some can remain dormant until the other parts of their sequence appear.<\/p><p>Some cards protect.<br \/>Some corrupt.<br \/>Some steal.<br \/>Some undo a previous move.<br \/>Some change according to their orientation.<\/p><p>And the sequences you build can change your allegiance as the game develops.<\/p><p>Complete the requirements for a resolution and its outcome takes effect.<\/p><p><strong>Play the cards. Steal. Change the conditions. See what survives.<\/strong><\/p><h3>Do I need to know The Canis first?<\/h3><p>No.<\/p><p>You don't need to know the characters, story or world before you play.<\/p><p>If you already know The Canis, you'll recognise things.<\/p><p>If you don't, you'll discover them by playing.<\/p><h3>Can I play now?<\/h3><p>Not quite.<\/p><p>The first game is being completed and we're looking for people to playtest it before launch.<\/p><p><strong>Want to playtest The Canis?
