This is a Mario Bros. CCG. It is currently under construction. Little is concrete at this point. All cards are speculative until the rules are firmly nailed down.
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.
Characters
Both Heroes and Enemies are considered Characters. There are no cards of type Character. It is only used as an abbreviation for 'either Hero or Enemy.'
Equipment
Equipment is a subtype of Thing. Equipment can only be played onto Characters, unless it says otherwise. The Character a piece of Equipment is played on to is refered to as its User.
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 gain a number of Damage Counters equal to the damage dealt minus their DEF (minimum 0). If the number of Damage Counters exceeds the card's HP, that card is destroyed.
Resources
FP
Each player begins the game with a certain number of FP. Many cards require an expenditure of FP to be used. A few cards can restore FP.
Further Details pending
Audience
Audience is a shared resource. Several cards can raise the Audience and many cards require a certain level of Audience to be used. A few cards can lower Audience as well.
Further Details pending
Other Rules
Card Abilities
Any text written as a bold verb followed by a colon can be read as, 'As an action, you can use this ability.' Also, any ability that gives a damage value is an attack and must target a Character. For example, 'Jump: Deal target 1 damage' can be read as 'You may take an action (called Jump) to deal target Character 1 damage.' If the verb is followed by a number in parenthesis, this amount of FP must be spent to use the ability.
Card Attributes
Certain cards have special attributes. These come in 2 styles: Active and Passive.
Passive conditions are listed in italics at the beginning of the card text and usually cannot be removed (In some cases, a sufficient amount of Damage will switch their condition. Active conditions come into play during an attack or something similar and can be removed rather easily. In this example set, Active conditions are labeled in bold.
Flying: A Flying Character cannot be dealt damage by an attack, unless it specifically says that it affects Flying. Flying Characters can attack normally.
Spiked: When a Spiked Character is dealt damage, the Character that damaged it (if one exists) is dealt the same amount of damage. For example, if a Character with 2 DEF attacks a Spiked Character with 1 DEF with 3 damage, the Spiked Character would gain 2 (3-1) Damage Counters and the other Character would gain 1 (3-2) Damage Counter.
Paralyzed: A Paralyzed Character is considered to have blank card text except for its list of attributes. Any player may take an action to flip a coin. If its heads, remove Paralyzed from all Characters.
Burning and Poisoned: A Burning (or Poisoned) Character takes 1 Damage (not counting defense) each turn.
Notes
This deck is similar to the Mario Bros. deck, but it will 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.
