Gauntlet of Gods
Heyo! Clint here! I’m a filmmaker and 3D/VFX artist and have been running my YouTube channel since 2006. During Covid I started hosting 3D challenges for artists around the world with the goal of creating something larger than our individual selves. Over the years we’ve cultivated a positive creative community with the goal of learning and growing together through 3D art.
For each 3D challenge we host, each artist receives a 5 second animated template, and are challenged to build it out in their own style, featuring everyone’s unique perspective in a massive community-built montage. Since the first challenge, I’ve worked closely with a team of core artists to help shape each challenge to make it as special as possible, and our latest challenge, each artist is challenged to create an animated playing card that will ultimately be playable in the Gauntlet of Gods card game!

HOW TO WIN
Win the game by dealing 15 damage to your opponent.
TURN ORDER
On your turn, take 1 action, then it’s your opponent's turn and they take 1 action. Repeat until a player has taken 15 damage.
ACTIONS
PLAY
Play a card from your hand into one of the 4 lanes.
TOPDECK
Discard your hand. Reveal the top card of the deck. Play or discard it.
DRAW
Draw until you have exactly 3 cards in hand.
BATTLE
All cards in play attack.
COMBAT
All cards in play attack. Resolve one lane at a time, starting with the lane closest to the deck. The card with the lowest power in the lane attacks first. If the power of both cards in the lane are tied, the player taking the battle action attacks first. Abilities that trigger at the same time also resolve lowest power first.
When your card attacks, it deals damage equal to its power to your opponent unless there is an enemy card in its lane, in which case it damages the card instead. Put damage tokens in front of your opponent/on top of the damaged card to keep track. Cards with damage on them equal to their power (or greater) are discarded from play.

100% of the profits received by the Create with Clint team will be directly donated to UNESCO's International Fund for Cultural Diversity (IFCD), which was started in 2005 as a way to bolster creative and cultural communities in developing countries.
As a community of internationally diverse artists, it was important for the Create with Clint team to find a vetted charity (in this case, a fund) that specifically focuses on funding art projects to help artists in need around the globe. UNESCO’s International Fund for Cultural Diversity checked all those boxes for them.
To learn more about the IFCD and see the creative projects they're establishing around the globe, check out their site below.

What is this?
The Gauntlet of Gods card game is a community-built card battler designed by AJ Brandon, in close collaboration with the Create with Clint team.
You'll deploy powerful cards into lanes and use 35 unique abilities to claim victory against your opponent.
We want to achieve two things with this card game: First, artists must be able to create any character card they want, so they can directly play their creation in the game. And second, we had to build a functional card game that is easy to learn and fun to play.
Each card is hand crafted by the Create with Clint community, where they'll choose the art, the power level, color and ability. The power not only represents the card's damage and health but also its initiative. High power makes for a strong but lumbering creature. Low power may seem weaker at first glance but faster cards can take out slower ones before they have a chance to attack!
Shortly after the August 31st art deadline, the online-beta version of Gauntlet of Gods will be populated with its final community-made art for the complete experience.
