Game Overview
In this game, you'll be dealing damage to your opponent by playing certain cards from your hand. When a player takes damage, they return one life token to the supply. The winner is the first player who reduces their opponent's life to 0.
Players take turns performing the following actions in order:
- Draw a card from the deck. *
- Play up to 2 cards. *
- Declare the end of your turn and discard cards until you have 5 or fewer cards in your hand.
* During the very first turn of the game, no cards can be drawn, and only 1 card can be played.
Playing a Card
Select a card from your hand, and place it face up in front of you. The area of face up cards in front of each player is that player's field.
Monster cards: The monster cards remain in your field and provide an ongoing effect until they are removed by another card.
Spell/Action cards: Immediately activate the effect on the card, and then discard the card.
When the Deck Runs Out
If you try to draw a card while the deck is empty, shuffle the discard pile and place it face down to form a new deck.
Necro-nope-nicon
Anytime your opponent plays a card, you can spend one of your Necro-nope-nicon tokens to deactivate that card. Its effect does not take place, and the card is immediately discarded.
If your card got deactivated by a Necro-nope-nicon token, you can spend 2 Necro-nope-nicon tokens to reactivate and proceed to play your card, carrying out its effects.
You cannot cancel or deactivate a reactivation!
Game End
The game ends as soon as a player runs out of life tokens. The player still standing wins the game!
