Create YOUR OWN Card Battler in Godot

utm_content=youtube_2026_godotcardbattlerbasicmechanics Learn how to build the basic mechanics for a card battler in Godot. Create reusable card data for attacks and healing, then use it to populate each card's mana cost, name, icon, and description. Connect that data to interactive card nodes and organize their idle, hovered, and dragging states. You will also detect the top card beneath the mouse when cards overlap, allowing players to select and move the correct card. Finish by adding smooth hover and drag behavior that gives players clear feedback while they interact with their hand.
