OBJECTIVE

Defeat your opponent in this arcade-style fighting game by reducing their health to 0.

SETUP

  • Each player chooses a Hero and their corresponding Action deck.
  • Starting health is set to 25.
  • Each player draws 7 cards for their starting hand.
  • The player who says "Ready, Fight!" first goes first.

GAMEPLAY

Players take turns performing actions. A turn consists of three phases:

1. Draw Phase:

  • Draw 2 cards from your Action deck. (There is no hand limit).

2. Action Phase:

  • You may play any number of cards to perform Attacks or activate effects.
  • Joysticks: Cards representing movement or positioning.
  • Buttons: Cards representing punches, kicks, or special moves.
  • Combos: Combine cards according to the symbols on your Hero card to trigger extra effects or damage.

3. End Phase:

  • Effects that last "until the end of the turn" expire.
  • Play passes to the opponent.

COMBAT & DEFENSE

  • Attacking: The active player plays attack cards. Total damage is calculated.
  • Defending: The defender can play Block cards (to reduce damage from Buttons) or Counter cards (to react to specific maneuvers).
  • Star Power: You gain Star tokens through attacks and effects. Once you reach 5 tokens, your powerful Star Power Ability triggers automatically.
  • Shields: Shield tokens can be spent to block incoming damage on a one-for-one basis.

END OF GAME

  • The game ends immediately when a player's health reaches 0. The surviving player is the winner.
