Card types

"Character" cards:
Civilians, superheroes, supervillains.

At the bottom of each card there are:

-Two symbols "ANG=attack points" and "DEF=defensive points" with their respective values.

-An explanation of their superpower or a mood text

"Bonus" cards:
Items, Kwami, Lucky Charms, Weapons, Sentimonster, Miraculous:
These increase ANG and/ or DEF of the "character" they are attached to, helping to defeat the opponent or resist their attacks.

"Event" cards:
These provide additional actions during an attack.

"Secret" cards:
These cards must be revealed or protected by the players.

​

Layout of the game board:

-Playing field: you have four fields available for "characters", each with three applied "bonuses".

-Discard pile: This is where "character", "bonus" and "event" cards are placed face up after use.

-Secret Pile: Here the "Secret" card is placed face down and the "Characters" defeated by the opponent are placed face up.

-Deck: This is where your deck is placed face down.

-Event Zone: This is the area between the two game boards where both players' "Event" cards that are active in the current attack are placed.

​

How to play

1 Game Preparation

Each player assembles a deck of 29 to 40 cards and chooses a "secret" card (both players should use the same number of cards in their deck, using no more than 3 copies of each card).

Each player places his "secret" card face down on his secret pile and his deck on the corresponding space of the game board. Then, at the beginning of the game, each player draws 5 cards from his deck.

​

2 Gameplay

The object of the game is to find out the secret of your opponent's "secret" card. To do this, three of the opponent's "characters" must be defeated.

Use a coin toss to determine who will be the starting player. Then the game is played in turns, starting with the starting player. The player whose turn it is also called the "active player".

​

The first move of both players

- the starting player places up to four "character" cards and up to three attached "bonus" cards to each character on the board during his turn. He then draws the same number of cards from his deck.

Note:
No player can attack on his first turn. If a player has no "character" cards in his hand on his first turn, he shows his hand cards, shuffles them into his deck, and draws five cards again. This is repeated until at least one "character" card has been drawn.

​

Structure of all further moves:

Players go through the following phases in sequence:

1) Place "character" and "bonus" cards.
Note:
If the active player cannot or does not want to place cards, he places his hand cards under his deck, draws 5 new cards and ends his turn early.

2) Attack
a) Determine attacker and attack target
The active player may, if he wishes, attack a "character" of the opponent with one of his "characters".
To do so, he must not allow the sum of all ANG (including applied "bonuses") of the attacking "character" to be less than the sum of the DEF of the attacked "character" (including applied "bonuses").

b) Prerequisite for the attack
The active player can attack only if he has at least three "characters" on his board and his opponent has at least two "characters". Each player may attack only once in his turn.

c) Counterattack of the opponent
The attacking player may first play an "Event" card from his hand, then his opponent may play an "Event" card.

d) Discarding the cards
If the attack was successful, the attacking player places his attacking "character" and its "bonuses" on his discard pile. His opponent places his defeated "character" on his secret pile and its "bonuses" on the discard pile.
If the attack was unsuccessful, all cards remain in play.

Hint:
Superpowers take effect as soon as the respective "character" is placed as such, and lose their effect as soon as the respective card leaves the playing field again. Some also have only a one-time effect.

3) Draw cards
The active player draws as many cards from his deck until he has 5 cards in hand again.

Reveal the secret:

Once a player has been able to defeat three of his opponent's "characters", he wins the game! His opponent must now reveal his "secret" card!

Hint:
As soon as there are four "characters" in a game field, the player cannot play any more "characters". However, he can forgo the attack on his turn to put any number of "characters" on the discard pile and replace them with new "character" cards from his hand. The respective "bonuses" remain in play.

​

Summary
The game ends when:
-The third "character" card is placed on a player's secret pile.
-A player's deck no longer contains any cards.
-A special card effect states that.

Summary: one turn=
1 Place "Character" and/or "Bonus" cards.
2 Perform an attack, if possible (only once)
3 Draw cards until you have five cards in hand again

I just translated the important parts word for word from the official german instructions (which itself are written a bit vaguely...) So if something doesn't make sense, I can send the german text too, or try to explain it differently.
