This is a Mario Bros. CCG. It is currently under construction. Very little is concrete at this point.
Special Rules
Card Types
In addition to Things and Actions, the following card types exist:
Hero
Heroes are a subtype of Thing. Heroes have HP and DEF, written as HP/DEF in their corner value. There can only be at most one copy of each Hero in play at once. For example, if Player A already has Mario out, neither Player A nor Player B can play another Mario card. However, if, somehow, multiple copies of a Hero are in play, nothing special happens.
Heroes come into play with a number of Health Counters equal to their HP.
Enemy
Enemies are a subtype of Thing. Enemies have HP and DEF, written as HP/DEF in their corner value.
Enemies come into play with a number of Health Counters equal to their HP.
Equipment
Equipment is a subtype of Thing. Equipment can only be played onto Heroes or Enemies, unless it says otherwise.
Location
Locations are a subtype of Thing. Each Player can only have one Location in play at one time. If they play another, the old one is destroyed.
Response
Responses are a subtype of Action. Each Response specifies the conditions required for it to be played. Responses can be played out of turn and do not count against the number of Actions that a Player can play in one round.
HP and DEF
When an Enemy or a Hero is dealt damage, they lose a number of Health Counters equal to the damage dealt minus their DEF (minimum 0). If this removes the last Health Counter on the card, it is destroyed.

Notes
This deck is very similar to the Mario Bros. deck except it should be bigger and more detailed.
Scope
The deck can contain any card based on any of the Mario RPG or platformer games. It can also contain other cards based on Mario's interactions with the characters and locations elsewhere on Mushroom Planet.
Rule Ideas
This is an area for ideas about how the game should work.
- I think the Locations should still be in the new deck, but their role may change
- The rules for the other deck should be kept simple, but that doesn't have to apply to this one
- Maybe for enemies we could have specific states e.g. 'Flying' 'Spiked' etc. and that would effect other things.
