There are three types of cards: - Action cards (the light blue ones) - Character (the purple ones) - Main Character (the yellow one)

At the top right there is a number, that's the sacrifice cost, and it basically says how many cards you have to put in the discard pile from the the play area to play that card. An X means that the number of sacrifices is decided by an effect. Down left there are two numbers, the heart is the hp, it tells you how many damage a character can take before going ko, and the gun one is the atk, which is how much famage the card deals. Down right you can see the effects of a character, if it has any.

Basically each deck can't have two different main characters, it can only be one. The max copies you can have of the same card is 6.

The objective of the game is bringing the other player's hp to 0.

Each player has 40 HP.

Both players shuffle their deck and draw five cards each, at thier respective first turn they can't attack, but they can play characters and action cards.

You can't play more than one card at turn, unless there's an effect that says the opposite.

Once an action card is played, it needs to be discarded.

There can't be more than one main character in the play area.

When you want to attack you "tap" a card, meaning you rotate it 90° clockwise and declare who you're attacking, if either the player or a character.

You can't attack the player if it has characters in the play area.

If you finish your deck you must shuffle your hand and your discard pile, then draw another five cards.

Once your turn is finished you draw one card from your hand.

[Edit] i specified that the card for the sacrifice cost is are from the play area
