Game overview
Each player starts the game with a main deck of 40–60 cards, composed of resonators ("summon spell"), chants ("normal spell"), additions, and regalia. In addition to the main deck, each player has a "Magic Stone Deck," a deck of 10-20 Magic Stone cards, which are used to produce the game's titular resource, "Will." The game is designed around "Ruler" cards. A Ruler is a special card that remains in a player's Ruler Zone, and often has additional abilities that inform deck building.

Why this record matters
“Force of Will” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Force, Will and Trading provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19931434. None of the 4 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2013 and 2019.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
