# Card States

**Standby**

* The card is face-down, ready for battle.

**Engage**

* When an enemy card enters the same lane or we place a card in the enemy's lane, both cards will turn face-up to enter the Engage state, ready for combat.

**Exhausted**

* The card is exhausted. After engaging, the card will be dissolved at the end of the turn, converting into Gems of its respective color for the player.
