Mic Drop: Rap Battle Card Game

Every card is a bar, every turn is a verse, and the crowd decides who walks away with the mic.

You are Dez Vega, a dishwasher who writes bars on order tickets. Apex Media is buying WBRG 88.1, the community station that raised half the neighborhood, and the only way to stop it is to win the Golden Mic.

Each battle runs three rounds. Draw five bar cards, fill four beat slots, and chain cards from the same rhyme family to multiply Hype. Click on the beat while your verse plays back for a flow bonus. Read your opponent's next move, plan around it, and break their Composure before the crowd turns on you.
