Right. So how do they interact? Is it as simple as subtracting one from the other to see how much damage an attack does, or is it more complicated than that?

[soft_focus]

Mostly yeah! If it's in attack mode, that's how it works. But if it's in defense, [She explains, moving the card to its side,] Then you don't take damage even if it's destroyed.

There's lots of effects and spells too, and those are things that could change how the battle phase goes too.

[goldenherd]

[ He draws a card from the deck and looks it over before angling it so Reira can see what he's looking at. ]

Oh, I think I get it. So is the goal to attack the other player until they run out of points, rather than get all their units off the field? And ones like this one give you points back as long as they're active.

[soft_focus]

Yeah!! [He's got it!] Each side starts with a certain number of points- and if you reach zero, or run out of cards and can't draw the next turn, you lose.

Some cards can make you lose cards in your deck a lot- that's 'Milling'- so there's definitely people who try to make you lose that way.

[goldenherd]

Makes sense. So how many different cards are there? I assume it's not a game like chess where there's only a set handful of different pieces. [ He could be wrong, but just looking at the deck Reira's loaned him there already seems to be quite a bit of diversity. ]

[soft_focus]

[ohboy] A lot.

Um. Normally you pick ones that work well together though, like with a theme...and from there they're going to be monsters, spells, or traps.

Some monsters are 'extra-deck' monsters, like these, [she adds, flipping over one with white bordering.] So you can't draw them, but if you look at the instructions on them, you can summon them with the normal cards.

[goldenherd]

This game seems like it could get pretty complicated pretty fast, [ Claude muses, shuffling through a few more cards. ] I guess it's more about thinking on your feet than memorizing every move your opponent could make? Unless you know your the other player and their deck really well.

[soft_focus]

Mnh! Yeah, if you think about moves specifically, it's not great- unless you're looking at the cards they played. But if you think about things that make sense, like 'someone would defend normally', or 'someone normally wouldn't do this', then it's easier!
