# Gameplay Mechanics

**Battle Lane** Cards engage in battle within lanes, divided into three lanes: left, center, and right. Players can place cards in any empty lane, and if an enemy card is present in the opposing lane, both cards will automatically engage in battle during the Battle Phase.

**Card Summoning** In one turn, each player can summon one card to the field, but only in an empty lane on their side. Summoned cards enter the Standby state.

**Card Battle** During the Battle Phase, if an enemy card is present in the same lane, both cards will flip to the Engage state. All cards in the Engage state will automatically battle. A card can attack if its attack node has a sword icon, while the opponent can block the attack if their card has a shield icon in the corresponding node.

**Card Dissolve** At the end of the Battle Phase, exhausted cards (those destroyed or unable to continue fighting) will dissolve and transform into Gems of their respective colors.
