# Cards & Strategy

In **MixMob: Racer 1**, cards are your main tool for racing strategy. Each race will see you using a mix of **Attack**, **Defense**, and **Remix** cards to gain an edge over your opponents. Cards allow you to disrupt, defend, and speed up, all while creating opportunities for strategic plays.

***

#### **Types of Cards**

There are **three types** of cards you'll encounter in the game, and each one plays a unique role in your racing strategy.

1. **Attack Cards (Orange Background)**\
   These cards are your primary offense. They help you disrupt opponents by dealing damage, slowing them down, or creating traps.
   * **Example:** "Crash" – Deals damage to an opponent in your lane.
2. **Defense Cards (Blue Background)**\
   Defense cards protect your **MixBot** from attacks. They can block damage, negate status effects, and help you maintain speed in tough situations.
   * **Example:** "Shield" – Protects you from damage for a limited time.
3. **Remix Cards (Purple Background)**\
   Remix cards are all about speed. These cards either boost your **MixBot’s** speed or hinder your opponent’s.
   * **Example:** "Boost" – Temporarily increases your speed by 20%.

You can access **all cards** in the game, no matter your status, by clicking the 🔍 magnifying glass icon for a detailed description of each card. This feature helps you strategize your deck and fully understand the effect of each card.

#### **Card Mechanics: Understanding Card Rotation**

Cards rotate during the race, meaning your hand of 10 cards will cycle through new ones as the game progresses. Understanding this mechanic is key to mastering the game:

* **First 10 Cards**: These cards will be drawn first, and the rest of your deck will **rotate randomly** as the race continues.
* **Strategic Play**: Try to save your **best cards** for when they’ll have the most impact. You don’t always want to use them immediately.
