Open packs or use Wonder Pick → collect cards → build decks → battle, display, or trade → earn resources and open more packs.
REASONING IN THIS GAME
Selected designs and judgment conditions
Goals and residual processing
Initial IFR · goal direction
Create controllable target-recovery-to-return continuity while preserving depth.
Final IFR · design goal
Make gaps or waiting, distance or causes, route or resource priority, and action, deferral, exit or return readable through existing surfaces’ information layers and consistent state grammar.

Decision and Planning Calculability Breakdown
The affected flow runs through persona time-window target-gap event chain; PARTIAL; its limiting point is the collection planning handoff.
Multiple goals, resources, states, rules, and paths cannot be compared on one decision surface, forcing repeated reprioritization.
