Vale of Eternity .... it intrigues me

(Long video but one does not need to watch it all.)
Not sure why this one came up in the swirl. This is a game from about a year ago. I have not played.
The objective: Get Victory Points ... duhh.
The theme: Taming monsters in the wild. Pretty cards.
The mechanism: Engine building (i.e. putting combinations of cards together to beat Iron Tony ... well ... or whoever). And, it includes an interesting currency management spin. You can only own 6 "Totems" of currency. Though the value of the currency is of different values. So, you may over spend to buy things as no change is given. (Pennies have no value.)
I prefer to think of it as 6 items of various levels of power that you barter with. It's simplified to just be a number. I need the magic helm. Clearly the sword is more valuable but "no change given".
The game was pretty simple from there.
I would think it slows down considerably as the player count increases.
Watching for this one.
Yours,
