In Culdcept, each player has a customizable deck of 50 cards that come from a total in-game deck of 480. Up to four players (human or computer-driven) maneuver around the map, taking control of unclaimed land in an effort to build their power. Players defend their land by placing creatures from their card hand on the individual terrains. Battles ensue when opposing players land on occupied space and don't wish to pay the "toll."

• 42 unique map layouts to choose from, including maps used in the All Japan Cepters Cup, and one designed by the Japanese national champion player.
• Tutorial modes and an electronic hint guide allows anyone to jump right in and play.
• Special medals to be collected during the game unlock additional hidden cards and maps.
• A scarily addictive quality that will make players forgo other games, friends, sleep, and perhaps, personal hygiene, to play "just one more round."
