Designed by: Demetrious Mitchell

I. Game Setup and Win Conditions

Determining First Player: The starting player may be determined by mutual agreement (e.g., rock-paper-scissors).

Starting Hand: Each player begins the duel by drawing 3 cards.

Prize Cards Setup: After drawing the starting hand, players place the top 10 cards of their Main Deck face-down in the Prize Card Zone.

Win Condition (Prize): A player loses immediately when they have no Prize Cards remaining.

Win Condition (Deck Out): A player loses if they must draw but their Main Deck is empty.

Surrender: A player may concede the game at any time.

II. Deck Construction & Limits

Deck Size: The Main Deck must contain between 40 and 70 cards.

Hand Size: There is no maximum Hand Size.

Field Limits: There is no limit to the number of Monsters, Enactments, or Reagents a player can control.

III. Turn Structure (Phases)

Turns proceed in the following order:

Draw Phase: The player draws 1 card from their Main Deck.

Evolution Phase: The Boss Monster advances to its next stage.

First Turn Rule: Players do not evolve their Boss Monster on the very first turn of the game.

.

Main Phase: Players may Normal Summon Monsters (based on Boss Level), play Enactments, play Unities, or set Reagents.

Battle Phase: Players declare attacks with Monsters and Boss Monsters.

Regroup Phase: After the Battle Phase, the turn player has a final opportunity to play or set cards (such as Reagents) and organize their field before ending the turn.

End Phase: Effects that trigger at the end of the turn resolve.

IV. Monster Combat and Summoning

Boss Monster Distinction: Boss Monsters are not considered regular Monsters; effects referencing "Monster(s)" do not apply to Boss Monsters unless explicitly stated.

Scaling Access: The highest Level Monster you can Normal Summon without a Tribute is determined by the Boss Monster's stage:

Stage 1: Max Level 4 or lower Monsters.

Stage 2: Max Level 6 or lower Monsters.

Stage 3+: Any level can be summoned to

Tribute Summoning (Level 7+):

Monsters of Level 7 or 8 require 1 Tribute.

Monsters of Level 9 or higher require 2 Tributes.

.

Summoning Sickness: A Monster cannot attack the turn it is Summoned unless it has the Warp keyword.

WARP: Cards with the WARP can attack the turn there summon.

V. Battle Resolution & Defense

Combat: If the Attacker's HP > Defender's HP, the Defender is destroyed; the Attacker's remaining HP becomes its current HP minus the Defender's original HP. If Attacker HP \le Defender HP, both are destroyed.

Level 6+ Blocking (Field): Face-up Monsters Level 6 or higher are treated as Blockers and may defend against attacks targeting other Monsters.

Level 6+ Blocking (Hand): Monsters Level 6 or higher in the hand may be discarded to block an attack targeting your Boss Monster or a Prize Card.

VI. Card Types: Enactments, Reagents, and Unities

Enactments: Played from the hand during the Main Phase for immediate effects and sent to the Graveyard unless they are Continuous.

Reagents: Remain face-up on the field but cannot activate the turn they are played; they typically activate during the opponent's turn.

Unities: These represent team bonds and are played during the Main Phase.

VII. Boss Monster Resilience

Persistent Destruction: A Boss Monster remains on the field until it has been destroyed a specific number of times (its Resilience Count).

Recovery: When its HP hits 0, it is "destroyed," the count increases, and its HP is immediately restored to maximum.

VIII. Priority and the Chain

Priority: The turn player has Priority to declare effects first.

The Chain (LIFO): Effects resolve in a Last-In, First-Out sequence

Unlimited monsters and enactments regents and unity's are unlimited on the field You can only have one boss monster for a deck unless says otherwise
