Manala

Manala is an MMO deckbuilder where cheating is legal. Not an exploit: a card. Argue that their armor never covered that spot. Take the headshot the rules forbid. Forget to deduct a hit point. The Frog of the North sees everything, says nothing, and sends the bill later.

Combat is a LARP field with a rulebook, and the rulebook is a deck. Your gear IS your deck: every piece of equipment on your body decides which cards you can play. Poison is a coating you paint on the blade before the fight. Every enemy draws from the gear it is carrying: the sword beating you is the sword you are about to take off its corpse.

No levels. No scaling. No big numbers: you have between 5 and 20 hit points, and the biggest hit in the game is 14. Your deck is not a run. It's your character.
