What is this?
Enmity Engine is a 2-player fighting card game that adapts the battle system of the Pokemon video games to tabletop. Both players have 3 Fighters and a deck of Poker cards, which are used to activate their Fightersâ moves with the goal of defeating their opponentâs Fighters. It is now available for purchase via DriveThruCards.

To celebrate Enmity Engineâs release today, I thought Iâd put up a design diary detailing how I went about adapting Pokemon to work as a physical, analog card game. For the most part, Iâm going to assume that anyone reading this is at least somewhat familiar with Pokemonâs battle mechanics, but if not I recommend giving at least one of the games a go. Theyâre pretty fun.
