✦˖⁺‧₊˚ Game Introduction ˖⁺‧₊˚✦

Hail and well met, traveler, to the wondrous domain of Mani-Creatures. Within these hallowed halls, thou art invited to bear the nails ensconced with the spirits of diminutive creatures as thine armaments, and thus partake in duels of grandeur and arcane secrecy.

✦˖⁺‧₊˚ Gameplay ˖⁺‧₊˚✦

Before thou dost engage in the wagered combat, be ever vigilant, for thine adversary shall possess a mind ever-changing with each turn of the round.

Sometimes, it shall directly deplete thy "HP(Hallucination Points)".

Sometimes, it shall augment its own fashionability to shield itself from harm.

Sometimes, it shall cast upon thee a myriad of peculiar curses.

In such moments, thou canst rely only upon thine own manicured nails!

In each round of the wagered duel, thou shalt be granted five manicured nail plates. Thou must ponder with care whereon to place them upon thy fingers, to achieve the most efficacious outcome.

✦˖⁺‧₊˚ Some Features˖⁺‧₊˚✦

Aye, each finger thou possesses doth serve a distinct purpose:

The thumb, a symbol of power, if its nail plate inflicts harm, shall deal damage once more.

The index finger, a symbol of wisdom, if its nail plate fails to wound, can strip some armor from thine adversary.

The middle finger, a symbol of valor, if the foe is beset by afflictions, its nail plate shall trigger an additional time.

The ring finger, a symbol of compassion, if its nail plate causes harm, shall restore a measure of thy HP.

The little finger, a symbol of prudence, if its nail plate grants thee armor, shall bestow it once again.

Yet, remember well, the function of each finger may but activate but once per round.

Beyond these, perchance thou mayest discover that certain special gestures hold additional effects.

Shouldst thou employ but the middle finger, it shall inflict a great deal of harm, yet likewise "provoke" thine adversary.

For instance, if thou bestowest a compliment upon thine opponent, and should thy strike find its mark, thou shalt receive additional currency.

Assuredly, there exist other enigmatic gestures, ripe for discovery.

✦˖⁺‧₊˚ About Winning ˖⁺‧₊˚✦

Upon vanquishing thine adversary, thou shalt be bestowed with a trove of tokens. With these, thou mayest venture to the marketplace and expend thy wealth, purchasing new manicures or perhaps selling those thou dost find displeasing.

Indeed, thou art on the cusp of the next wagered contest; mayhap thou hast made ready.
