| The Basics |
| The cards have four numbers on them from
1-9 and A which equals 10. A game is won by having more points
than your opponent at the end. A point is scored by turning
your opponents cards into your color by beating a score on their
card with a higher score on one of your cards when you place
the two cards together. An example would be puting your Squall
card underneath an opponent's Edea card. As Squall's score facing
Edea would be A(10) and Edea's score facing Squall would be
3, the Edea card would change into your color and you would
gain a point. However the Edea could be changed back by playing
another card with a stronger score next to Edea, unless it is
walled off. This means that more than a little strategy is required. |
| The Rules |
There are further rules which can effect
a match, these change depending on the dialogue of characters
you challenge in other regions. These rules are:
Open Rule: Both players see their opponents hands for
the whole of the match.
Same Rule: Two cards can be changed at once, if a card
facing one side of each card is played with matching scores.
It must match both scores though.
Plus Rule: Again, two cards can be changed at once, but
only if the two score checks equal the same number when added.
The score check being your score added to your opponents score.
Combo Rule: This is triggered by having a run of numbers
from one to ten switching which can change many cards if properly
utilised.
Elemental Rule: Cards will weaken or strengthen in battle
when put on the element pictures, depending on their element
and their opponent card's element.
Random Rule: The cards you will use are chosen for you
randomly. It's possible to get your best cards, but it's also
possible to draw your worst.
Same Wall Rule: If you match card scores on the edge
of the board all those cards will switch for you, but on the
downside once again, this also works for your opponent. |
