Key takeaways for Goblin Card RPG: Tower Trials
Where is it heading?

The SWOT
- 100-floor tower structure creates a long-term progression anchor
- Archetype-specific synergy mechanics enable high-fidelity build theory-crafting
- Localized content provides a distribution barrier into international markets
- Difficulty dials allow for future expansion into competitive leaderboards
