Battle Cards (ProdigalSon Games)

GAMEPLAY

Battle Cards is a card battle game of rock, paper, scissors where you win by capturing more of the opponent's cards than the opponent capturing yours.

HOW TO PLAY

During your turn, you select a card to play and then place it on the board to end your turn. When your card is adjacent to an opponent's card and your arrow points to the opponent's card then:

• If the opponent's card also points to your card a Battle Starts
• If the opponent's card is not pointing to your card, then you Capture the Card

BATTLES

Battles occur as soon as a card is placed adjacent to and opponent's card and both cards have arrows pointing towards each other. The card placed is known as an "Attacking Card" while the adjacent to it is the "Defending Card". 

BATTLE OUTCOME

Attack is calculated by taking the bottom-left number of the "Attacking Card" and rolling a dice that many time times.

Defense is calculated by taking the bottom-right number of the "Defending Card" and rolling a dice that many time times.

An Elemental Bonus is added to either card if they have an element bonus over the other. This bonus is a x1.5 attack or defense increase.

The card with the largest number wins the round and captures the losing card. Any card that the losing card points to will also be captured.

ELEMENTS

Your attacks and defense get an elemental bonus when you attack an card that has an element that is weak to yours:

• Fire  is strong against Grass 
• Grass  is strong against  Water 
• Water is strong against Fire

EARNING POINTS

You earn points each time you capture a card. Points are doubled if you win the round.

LEVELING UP

At the end of each round, a dice is rolled to select cards at random from your hand to increase their experience by the points you earned during battle.  When your card reaches zero it evolves!

EVOLUTIONS

Evolutions causes your card to gain +1 attack and defense plus an additional arrow is randomly added to your card based on a dice roll.
