A downloadable card

The exciting game of configurable mechs in dangerous situations! #ImaginaryCardsJam

It imagines a game where the cards for your mech units have two little flaps which can be flipped independently, resulting in a single card with 4 possible configurations. I picture a tableau of 2x4 cards for the map, with different terrain. Each turn you'd draw 2 regular cards, which you can either play for their effect or burn for "support". Some of these cards create "missions" on the map, which your mechs can then complete for points (if they have the right abilities!). Support can be used to place mechs on the map, or power abilities on mechs or cards. You can also then perform one action and one manoeuvre with each mech you have. A key part of the game is that abilities (reconfiguring mechs, for example) are not limited to your own units; you can interfere with your opponent's plans by changing their mechs into a less useful form.
