3·6·9 Commander is a turn-based strategy card game. I've been designing this for a while and it is now at a point where the demo gets the basic point across.I haven't seen a game like this before. Personally, I think the soldier mechanic makes it fun and the 7th turn adjustments also allow for some cool mechanics.3 arenas, each with 2 conflict points. Both players play 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 cards each turn (over 6 turns) which resolve simultaneously at the end of each turn.There are two types of cards - commanders and soldiers.Commander cards have special abilities and can only be played in the center triangle of each arena.Soldier cards have arrows (outer triangle) and soldier numbers (inner triangle) which can be rotated by the player.Win the majority of conflict points or have the max points in case of a draw to win!

Could you build this?
Yes A turn-based strategy card game with fixed rules, a browser-based UI, and state-machine-driven turns is a classic project well within the capabilities of AI coding assistants.
