Adding a Hearthstone-like "fatigue" mechanic to Slay the Spire 2.

STS2 fatigue mechanism

🎮 **Brings a new card management challenge to "Slay the Spire 2"! ** Tired of the endless loop of decks? This module introduces the classic **fatigue mechanism** from "Hearthstone", allowing you to face increasing damage penalties when the card library is exhausted, completely changing your strategic planning!

✨ Core Mechanism

When a player's draw pile is empty, the discard pile is no longer automatically shuffled back. Instead, each attempt to draw a card deals **fatigue damage**.

**Detailed explanation of fatigue rules:**

• **Damage Increasing**: The nth fatigue causes n points of damage.
• **Blockable**: Fatigue damage is normal damage and can be offset by the block value.
• **Cross-turn accumulation**: The fatigue counter continues to accumulate throughout the battle (in a monster room) and is reset after the battle ends (leaving the monster room).
• **End of round shuffle**: At the end of the round, if the draw pile is empty, shuffle the discard pile back to the draw pile.

🃏 Main functions

Draw cards at the beginning of the round

**Rules**: When drawing cards at the beginning of the round, if the number of cards in the drawing pile is insufficient, only the existing cards will be drawn, without shuffling the cards, and without deducting blood.

Card effects draw cards

**Rules**: When using card effects to draw cards, if the draw pile is empty, fatigue damage will be caused every time you try to draw a card, and you will not be able to draw cards without shuffling the cards.

Fatigue damage and blocking

**Rules**: Fatigue damage is normal damage and can be offset by blocking.

Both decks are empty (special situation)

**Rules**: If both the draw pile and the discard pile are empty, stop drawing cards and cause no fatigue damage.

Shuffle at the end of round

**Rules**: At the end of the turn, each player's deck is examined. If the draw pile is empty and the discard pile contains cards, the cards are automatically shuffled.

Fatigue count accumulates across rounds

**Rules**: The fatigue counter accumulates throughout combat and does not reset at the end of the round.
