Gameplay
On your turn, you can take one of the following actions:
* Play a card: You can play a card from your hand onto the table. To play a card, you must pay its cost. The cost of a card is shown in the top left corner of the card.
* Attack: You can attack your opponent by choosing one of your cards and declaring it as an attacker. The defender chooses one of their cards to block the attack. The attacker and defender roll dice, and the highest roller wins the combat. If the attacker wins, they deal damage to the defender equal to their power. If the defender wins, they take no damage.
* Draw a card: You can draw one card from your deck.
Victory
The first player to reach 20 points wins the game. You gain points by defeating your opponent's cards in combat.
Additional Rules
* There are two types of cards in the game: Force and Destiny cards. Force cards have blue borders, while Destiny cards have green borders. Force cards are used to cast spells and abilities, while Destiny cards are used to recruit creatures and activate special effects.
* Creatures have an attack value and a defense value. The attack value is used to determine how much damage a creature can deal in combat, while the defense value is used to determine how much damage a creature can take in combat.
* Spells and abilities have a cost and an effect. The cost is paid when you cast the spell or ability, and the effect is applied immediately after the cost is paid.
* Special effects are triggered by certain events, such as when a card is played or destroyed. Special effects are often used to give players bonuses or penalties.
FAQ
* What happens if I don't have enough cards to pay for a card? You cannot play the card.
* What happens if I draw a card when my hand is full? You must discard one card from your hand to make room for the new card.
* What happens if I roll a tie in combat? The combat is considered a draw, and neither player takes damage.
* Can I attack my opponent's life points directly? No, you can only attack your opponent's cards in combat.
* Can I play more than one card on my turn? Yes, you can play as many cards as you want on your turn, as long as you have enough resources to pay for them.
Tips
* Build your deck around a theme. There are many different themes you can use to build your deck, such as creatures, spells, or abilities.
* Synergy is key. Make sure your cards work well together. For example, if you have a lot of creatures that have the "power surge" ability, you should also include cards that give your creatures +1 attack.
* Don't be afraid to experiment. Try different combinations of cards until you find a deck that works well for you.
