## Overview

This is a small Java card-battle prototype. Its visible workflow starts in Main, which builds and displays a board, creates the human player, then starts BattleManager; the manager creates a CPU player and invokes the human turn. Players build and draw from card-instance decks, while the board stores cards in slots and resolves attacks. The excerpts show only a partial game loop: human placement and CPU turns are empty. UIHelper and UDim2 are present, but no use of them is shown. Edges reflect only relationships visible in the excerpts; no README documentation was provided.

Main entry points: [`src/InstanceCard.java`](https://github.com/casonanim/projectanchor/blob/main/src/InstanceCard.java) (Card instance), [`src/Player.java`](https://github.com/casonanim/projectanchor/blob/main/src/Player.java) (Player base), [`src/Board.java`](https://github.com/casonanim/projectanchor/blob/main/src/Board.java) (Battle board), [`src/Slot.java`](https://github.com/casonanim/projectanchor/blob/main/src/Slot.java) (Board slot)
