Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.23 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.06 | |
The game utilizes variable rewards through unlocking cards, which can be a mild compulsion-loop design. The infinite play loop of challenging opponents could also lead to extended play sessions. While there's a competitive aspect, it's against AI and lacks social risks. There are no monetization or content risks.
