What it's about

An epic battle is unfolding, and players must choose a side! In 99x1, one legendary Swordsman faces off against a horde of 99 Demons in a one-vs-all card game of hidden information, tactical decisions, and shifting alliances. Each round, both sides reveal a face-up card before secretly committing individual cards to add to their side’s total Power. The side with the lower total takes damage. The Swordsman must manage his limited resources, anticipate hidden plays, and exploit the Demons' rivalries without underestimating their combined strength. But the Demons face a dilemma of their own. They must work together to bring down the Swordsman, yet only one Demon player can ultimately win. When the Demons win a clash, each player earns points from the cards they contributed. When they lose, those same cards count against them. They'll need to balance cooperation with competition, deciding when to help their allies, when to hold back, and when to use special Decoy cards to outsmart their so-called teammates. The battle ends when one side is defeated. If the Swordsman survives, he claims victory. If he falls, the Demon player with the highest score wins. 99x1 is as much a battle of wits as it is a battle of strength, and only the savviest will come out on top.
