This is a set that I created a couple of years ago, and I would like to see how well it works. I've played a few games with different decks that I made for me, my brother, and my neighbor, but I would appreciate any other input that you all may have.
In this game, you are a Spirit Master, utilizing the "essences" of the spirits that are hidden in your world. You will need to use everything in your arsenal to defeat your opponents.
Special Rules
What You Need To Play
-Two decks containing at least 40 cards but no more than 100 cards -Counters for addition and subtraction results(these could be pennies, or anything that can show addition or subtraction) -A coin for possible flip effects and deciding who will go first
Set-Up
1. First, each player shuffles their deck. Then, switch decks and let the other player cut your deck while you cut their deck. 2. Draw 5 cards. This will be your starting hand. 3. Decide who will go first. You can flip a coin or play rock-paper-scissors. 4. After you have decided who will go first, the game begins!
Object of the Game
If your opponent runs out of cards in their deck AND field, or if they run out of their three Critical Hit points, you win!
Steps in a Turn
Draw Phase. Take the top card of your deck and place it into your hand. Play Phase 1. Play cards from your hand. Effect Phase 1. Activate effects that you want to activate or that must be activated at this time. Attack Phase. Battle your opponent’s active Essence. Effect Phase 2. Activate effects that you want to activate or that must be activated at this time. Play Phase 2. Play cards from your hand. Remember that you cannot overlap Essences that you played this turn. End Phase. End your turn. Your opponent’s turn begins now.
What You Can Do During Each of the Steps of a Turn
Draw Phase. Draw the top card of your deck. Your opponent now has the option to activate Reaction cards in response to the draw or Change cards at this time. You may do the same. Play Phase 1. Play no cost Essences(or Essences without a number in the “Essence” bubble), overlap for cost Essences(or Essences with number in the “Essence” bubble), play Action cards, or play Change cards. You may do as many of these in a Play Phase as you wish, however, you may not overlap Essences until the Essence you are overlapping has been in play for at least one turn. Any effects from playing Essences, Actions, or Change cards take place immediately. Your opponent has the option to play Reaction cards in response to an effect or activation of a card or Change cards at this time. You may do the same. Effect Phase 1. You may now activate Essence effects that can be activated. Your opponent can play Reaction or Change cards in response to the effect at this time. You may do the same. Attack Phase. Your active Essence my attack your opponent’s active Essence or make a Critical Hit move on your opponent. You may only do this once per turn and only with your active Essence. Your opponent can play Reaction or Change cards in response to the attack at this time. You may do the same. NOTE: The player who goes first skips this step on their first turn only. Effect Phase 2. See Effect Phase 1. Play Phase 2. See Play Phase 1. REMEMBER: You still cannot overlap Essences that you played this turn. End Phase. This ends your turn and signals the beginning of your opponent’s turn.
How Speed Effects the Game
Speed results in Counter Attacks. If your Essence’s Speed is higher than the opponent’s Essence’s speed when they attack, halve your attack (rounded down to the nearest one) and do that much damage to the opponent’s Essence.
Losing Essences
When an Essence on your side of the field takes damage equal to or greater than its HP, it gets discarded. It is then placed in the discard pile and remains there until an effect moves it somewhere else. You then place in a replacement Essence from your side of the field (if you have one). You may also choose to discard any Essence on your side of the field at any time, given that you have two or more Essences on the field.
Attacking with a Lower Strength than your Opponent's Shield
You can still do damage with a lower Strength! Simply subtract your opponent’s Shield minus your Strength. Then, halve the total (rounded down to the nearest 1).
Essence Elements
Each Essence has a different colored background, depending on their type. Blue backgrounds are Water Elements, Red backgrounds are Fire Elements, Green backgrounds are Wind Elements, Yellow Backgrounds are Earth Elements, White Backgrounds are Light Elements, and Black backgrounds are Dark Elements. Some Elements are mixed together, depending on the Essence.
