What do I need to play?
Well, you'll need an opponent, and a deck of 60 cards. If youre playing over the Internet, a computer might be helpful too. :P

How can I win?
Well, you can win two ways. Either you knock out all of the opponents Forward cards, or if your opponent cant draw anymore cards from his/her deck.

What kinds of cards are there?
Forward Cards are your basic attack cards.
Evolved Forwards evolve from Forward Cards. Place em on top of the basic forward.
Weapon Cards are cards you attach to forwards to give them new abilities.
Item Cards do something helpful, then discard em.
Energy Cards provide energy, with 4 kinds: (L)Lawful, (C)Chaotic, (E)Evil, and (A)Any kind of energy.

How do I start the game?
First, shuffle your deck. Then draw 7 cards. If you dont have a basic forward in your hand, show the hand to the opponent, then shuffle it into your hand. Then re-draw 7. Repeat the process if you still dont have a basic forward. Flip a coin to decide who plays first.

Whats the Play Area?
The play area consists of the following:
The Combat Zone is where your active forwards fight.
The Bench is where your forwards that dont fight are.
The Deck is your deck to draw from.
The Discard Pile is where you put discarded cards.

What do I do during my turn?
You can:
Draw a Card
Use a item
Attach a weapon to a forward
Put a forward on the bench(max of 5)
Switch your active forward with a benched forward (your turn is over now)
Attach an energy card to a forward
Attack with your active forward(turn is over)

What are the Limitations?
You cant evolve a forward the same turn you played it.
You can only attach one energy per turn.
You can attach up to 2 weapons per turn.
You can only attack once per turn. After that, your turn is over!
Your deck must contain exactly 60 cards.

What are the rules for Internet Play?
Be fair and honest! Dont cheat by looking at your cards, shuffling randomly, and lying about which cards you have in your hand.
Make sure you are clear about what you are doing! Dont confuse your opponent!
Make sure you type out the cards name correctly if you have to do so!

Anything else?
Nope! Now go and have fun!
