so much frusterating to see high lvl cards get beaten by lower ones. XD

Had to say something, because I loved that game (even if it took me a dozen times to win the stupid tournament in Treno). Yes, took a while to figure out and was *very* annoying. The games makes sense once you figure out that it all comes down to the little yellow arrows on the cards. Here's my breakdown if it helps.
A card can only attack (and defend) in the directions those yellow arrows indicate. If a card with a yellow arrow is played next to a card with no arrow, the card with the arrow always wins, end of story. If a card with a yellow arrow is placed next to a card that also has a yellow arrow and they touch, then there's a fight and the card stats actually matter. The more powerful card wins.
When a card is played, it attacks in every direction it's capable of. For example, I had a boar card with 7 arrows of the possible 8. When I played it, it would attack in seven different directions. (I typically placed it's non-arrow side against a wall or a card that also had no arrow on that side to prevent it getting attacked and auto-taken over from that direction). When it took over another card, the battle would continue in the directions of the yellow arrows on the new card, and so on. That's how you can pretty much take over the board with one move.
I eventually stopped using that boar card because it got so high level that if anyone did take it over, I had nothing tough enough to take it back.
Dangit! Now I want to play the game again. Does it exist on an emulator somewhere?
