Two entries on that sheet move over time: the price and the review count. The free window, the platform and the empty demo and DLC rows are properties of the listing as captured.

System requirements in two tiers

Requirement	Minimum	Recommended
Operating system	Windows 11 64-bit	Windows 11 / 11 64-bit
Processor	Intel Corei3 or equivalent	Intel Corei5 or equivalent
Memory	4 GB RAM	8 GB RAM
Graphics	DirectX 11 compatible GPU	DirectX 11 compatible GPU
DirectX	Version 11	Version 11
Storage	1 GB available space	1 GB available space
64-bit	required	required

The only line that changes between the tiers is the processor and the memory figure. Storage stays at 1 GB and the graphics line is a DirectX 11 compatibility statement at both levels, so no separate GPU model is named.

The board rules in one list

• A run is a series of battles rather than a single match.
• Each battle is played on a field of 19 hexagonal spaces.
• You and your opponent take turns placing cards.
• Every card carries six values, one for each side.
• Touching edges are compared when you place next to an opponent’s card.
• The higher value flips the opposing card to your side.
• The stated goal is to control as much territory as possible by the end of the battle.

That is the entire published rule set. The store page describes where a card goes as the decisive choice, and repeats that you should read the board before committing a card.

What the numbers mean for a first session

The facts above point at a small, readable game rather than a large one. A battle is 19 spaces, a card is six values, and a run grows by one card after each win, so the deck you finish a run with is assembled from the cards your opponents brought to the board. The 1 GB storage line and the DirectX 11 graphics line also mean the Windows build is light enough that the specification is unlikely to be the obstacle.

What the sheet cannot tell you is how long any of it takes. No completion time, no battle count per run and no difficulty tier is published, and the 27 achievements arrive without conditions attached.

What this sheet cannot answer

There is no level count, no card total, no element list, no Rift count and no full achievement list in official data, and no media score either. The app details record lists no DLC and no demo, so there is nothing else to buy or try alongside the base game.

The launch story in longer form is on Launch & Demo, the mechanics are on How It Plays, and the configuration detail is on Setups.
