Energy
Game term
Energy is used to play cards from your Hand.
Energy is the budget for playing cards.
- Every character has 3 maximum Energy; at the start of each of your turns your Energy is set back to that maximum, and whatever you did not spend is lost.
A card's cost is printed in its top-left corner. X-cost cards spend everything you have and count it, and a card that costs 0 or is made free by an effect still has to be legal to play.
Energy exists only in combat; nothing carries between fights.
Relic bonuses come in two kinds: 1 extra Energy every turn from Ancient relics, usually with a drawback, and one-off bursts such as Lantern, Very Hot Cocoa, Candelabra and Chandelier.
Ice Cream turns the reset into an addition, so leftover Energy stacks.
