Mutation Machinations

This is a submission for the Ludum Dare 56 Jam, themed  'Tiny Creatures'.

You are a disease trying to infect every living being in the world.

By playing cards you can add certain effects to an enemy. When you have applied enough effects you can Mutate cards to add symptoms that can damage your enemy

You lose the game when the enemy gets healthy (regains full hp)

You win the game by inflicting enough damage to reduce their health to zero

Enemies will try to get healthier by playing cards of their own. Additionally, when the enemy manages to remove effects from themselves they regain hp as well
