They&#8217;re on a conveyor belt-like system; instead of drawing a fresh hand each turn, new cards come into your hand from the left to fill the gaps left by the cards you&#8217;ve played.<\/p>\n<p>This allows for some strategic planning and decision-making, where the position of cards held in your hand needs to be considered. For example, some cards power up the longer they go unplayed, while others gain benefits when they&#8217;re adjacent to specific card types.<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_F6971F1B0368F5\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px;display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items:center; justify-content: center;\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-dfp-refresh-direct=\"true\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It sounds like a clever system, but we&#8217;ll need to get our hands on it to really understand how it all works together.<\/p>\n<p>The game is planned for release in late 2026 on PS5.
