Equinox

The game wraps up with three of the mystical creatures completely deleted from the board along with all the points you invested in them.

Mechanics: Play a creature card to alter their strength or place a bidding stone on a beast in a specific row. The weakest gets discarded forever.

The Painful Choice: Support the beast you bet on early, or pivot and kill it off because an opponent stands to gain more? The mechanical spite is top tier.
