Remember the last showdown you witnessed? Harry Potter, Naruto, Dragonball Z, stuff like that? Punches fly back and forth with no apparent effect, dust clouds clear to reveal unharmed enemies, the hero gives a quick speech, and eventually, the Finishing Blow is struck. This is like that.

Special Rules

Corner value is the minimum Epic Level required to play a card. If an attack fails to affect its target, it has failed. If you play an attack, your opponent may counterattack (called clashing). If this happens, roll 2 dice.
If they are the same Epic level, then on a seven, both knock the other down. Less than 7, Good guy hits. More than 7, Bad guy hits.
If they are different levels, then the bigger attack succeeds on a seven, and its success range increases by the difference between the attack's levels.
Example: Dragon Fire (4) vs. Flurry of Punches (1)
Since Dragon Fire is bigger, its success range is 2-6, 7, and 8-10. If the Evil player uses it, it's 12-8, 7, and 6-4.
If knocked down, you cannot play attacks until the end of the next turn. Die rolls of attacks against downed opponents are made at +1.
