Imagine ${film-name} as an original online card game. Create a complete game-design concept board in English as a polished 16:9 horizontal image. Reinterpret the film’s themes, locations, characters, conflicts, emotions, powers, and visual identity as an original playable digital card battler. Do not simply copy film scenes or make a movie poster, and do not default to a generic fantasy TCG when the film has a distinct identity.

COMPOSITION AND PRIORITY
Build the board around one large, clear live-match gameplay mockup at the center, occupying about 45–55% of the canvas. It must look playable and serve as the visual anchor. Show opponent area at the top, player area at the bottom, both players’ cards, player hand, opponent hand preview, deck and discard piles, resource counter, health or objective tracker, active locations/lanes/zones, turn indicator, selected-card preview, and clearly placed cards in a believable 1v1 digital card-game interface.

Arrange supporting sections in a clean, premium pitch-board layout with strong hierarchy, readable English typography, consistent panels, polished card mockups, icons, arrows, diagrams, faction symbols, and UI panels. Suggested arrangement: title and pitch at upper left; gameplay screen in the center; mechanics, turn structure, and resources on the left; factions, archetypes, online features, and progression on the right; example cards, card-frame breakdown, mood references, and small UI screens along the bottom. Keep supporting content readable but secondary.

GAME CONCEPT
Include:
- A strong game title inspired by ${film-name} and a short pitch describing the player’s role and why the concept suits an online card game.
- Core fantasy: what the player controls or embodies.
- Gameplay overview: player count, match length, objective, victory method, turn flow, card play, and sources of tension.
- A clear, film-appropriate win condition.
- Three to five short, gameplay-focused core pillars.
- A turn-flow diagram, adapting this sequence as appropriate: Draw → Gain resource → Play cards → Activate abilities → Combat/resolve effects → End turn.
- A distinctive thematic resource system. Avoid generic mana unless there is a strong thematic reason; explain how the resource is gained and spent.
- Four to six card types, each with a gameplay role tied to the film’s identity.
- A set of distinctive mechanics. For each, show its name, concise gameplay explanation, and connection to the film. Avoid relying only on generic card-game mechanics.
- Three to five genuinely distinct deck archetypes, each with its playstyle, strengths, weakness, and key cards.
- Factions, teams, character groups, or emotional sides. For each, show visual identity, gameplay identity, preferred mechanic, and an example leader card. Reinterpret rather than reproduce film imagery.

CARDS AND MATCH EXAMPLE
Show 6–10 readable example cards with name, cost, type, brief effect, relevant attack/defense/value, rarity icon, faction icon, and a small artwork thumbnail. Keep effects short and legible. Include a playable example board state in the central match screen.

Design a cohesive card-frame system showing the placement of cost, name, artwork, type, effect text, stats, rarity, and faction icon, with useful visual distinctions between card types. The cards should feel premium and practical for a real digital game.

ONLINE GAME AND PRESENTATION
Show concise concepts for matchmaking, ranked and casual modes, private matches and friend invites, seasonal events, daily quests, collection, deck sharing, and spectator mode where relevant. Explain player-friendly card collection and progression, such as starter decks, faction progression, crafting, cosmetics, alternate art, seasonal/ranked rewards, story challenges, and limited events. Avoid predatory monetization cues.

Show key UI/HUD ideas for the main menu, deckbuilder, match screen, card inspection, rewards, and matchmaking. Define art direction through palette, card-illustration style, UI materials, icons, lighting, animation feel, background treatment, and faction visual language. Include small card-art thumbnails inspired by the film’s characters, places, objects, emotional moments, conflicts, creatures, vehicles, symbols, or environments—not random screenshots. Add a concise mood-reference panel with atmosphere, visual motifs, color and emotion references, gameplay mood, and UI inspiration.

FINAL QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
Make the concept cohesive, believable as a real online game, and clearly rooted in ${film-name} while still working as a standalone card battler. Use a dark or tonally appropriate background, clean spacing, polished visual presentation, and readable typography. Ensure the match layout, card placement, resources, objective, and turn state are understandable. Avoid tiny unreadable text, fake UI clutter, decorative cards without gameplay purpose, confusing board layouts, and generic TCG styling. The final image must be a professional 16:9 game-design pitch board, not a movie poster or overloaded infographic.
