# The Timer & Round Resolution

**Round Timer** [⏰](https://emojipedia.org/alarm-clock)

* Each player has **15 seconds** to make their card choice for every round.
* If a player does not choose within the allotted time, the game will automatically **select a card** for them.

**Round Resolution Order** 👾

Once both players lock in their cards, the round resolves in the following order:

1. **Power** effects (such as card flips or special abilities).
2. **Defense** (cards that block or reflect incoming damage).
3. **Heal** (cards that restore health).
4. **Attack** (cards that damage the opponent).
