Sirlin Games Yomi: Rook Deck

Yomi is a fighting game in card form where physical dexterity is replaced by hand management skills. Just like in a fighting game, you have to know your character, know the matchup, and know your opponent. Each character has a deck that follows the same conventions as a deck of playing cards. This makes it easy to learn the contents of your deck: numbered cards are normal moves, face cards are special moves, and aces are super moves.

While Yomi is good for a quick session and portable enough to play on-the-go, it's also a serious competitive game with a community that strives to improve. It's a strategy game with a high skill-ceiling so it's something you can play over a thousand times. Years of development and lots of tournament play means you can count on it holding up no matter how deep you get into it.

There are 20 characters to collect, each with their own special abilities, creating over 200 matchups. Find the character whose personality matches your playstyle. You can play Yomi in the classic 1v1 mode, an over-the-top 2v2 tag team mode (similar to Marvel vs. Capcom), a practice solo mode, or a 3v3 mode (similar to King of Fighters).

This is Rook's deck. He's a stone golem who founded the Fantasy Strike tournament. Rook is a grappler with powerful throws and the most hit points in the game. Though not very mobile, his defense mastery skill causes opponents to block more often, which is exactly what Rook wants in order to throw them.


Rook highlights:
€ High damage throws and a high damage super, but no dodges.
€ Punch straight through weaklings' attacks.
