Below are my simple summary and useful links that could help you in starting and understanding splinterlands.
Splinterlands is a card building game. (Quite similar to hearthstone but take away the "chess fights", you just build your deck and arrange them and done!)
There are 2 kinds of cards in the game:
2a. Summoner = Main hero with ability which affect either you or your opponent monsters.

2b. Monsters = Characters use in your "chess fights"
Monsters have 4 main stats (Attack, Health, Armor, Speed) and some have ability.
