MELDCORE

Card-based tower defense

MELDCORE is a PC tower defense game built around making card melds. You place three cards in an empty tower and complete it with either consecutive numbers, called a run, or matching numbers, called a set. Link four completed towers to the core, then match a pair of cards in the core to trigger a Core Link.

The towers’ melds determine how well they work together. Certain patterns multiply their firepower and transform the towers for the duration of the Core Link. You decide which pattern to build toward and whether to trigger it now or keep building for another wave.
