Introduction

The objectives in the game is to defeat the enemy's base card before he defeats your base card. To do this you need to choose you cards wisely and use them against the right enemies. If you just choose a good base card you got a good start, the base card's stats could be the difference between success and failure. Keep an eye on your enemy cards to choose the best card against them. And the most important thing: Have fun when you play!


Getting Started

To start a Card game you need to do the following:


1. First of all; Find a Card Player and Challenge Him/Her.


2. When you come to the arena, open the box on the table by pressing "Open box" and put your cards in it.


3. Start the game by pressing "Yes" after activating the box.


4. Now the game will randomly choose who will begin, if you don't get the message "It's your turn", the enemy is first to play. Then just wait until the message "It's your turn" comes.


5. When it's your turn open the box and pick out one of your card. Just one, you can lose because of cheating. Then drop it on the ground and select "Use as base card". Then it will be the enemy's turn automatically.


6. When it's your time again it's time to place out some cards. The first time you should to it you can place out three card. After you have done that (See "Moving your cards" at page 7) then end the round by pressing "End round" by activating the box and then game has really started.



Moving your Cards


You can move one card each round. To do that you need to pick out one card from the box, you will get a new card each round but your maximum amount is 5. If you want you can pick out all the card at the same time, it's not Cheating.


After you have chose your card drop it on the ground and then activate it and press "put into fight". Then you will get a question about where you want to put your card. This isn't really so important but you can't place a card on another card.


You can have 5 card + the base card out in fight at the same time.



Attacking with your Cards


To attack you select one of your card. Cards can only attack if:
- It has been placed into the fight.
- It hasn't been placed into fight this round. (After a card has been placed into fight you can attack with it next round)
- It hasn't attacked this round. (You can only attack with each card once each round)

After you have selected a card that can attack, select "Attack". Then choose which enemy you like to attack,choose wisely. You will then see a message about how much damage you did.



Stats and Damage


These are the different Stats that your and the enemies Card have:


Hp
Attack type
Attack
Defense
Magical Defense
Agility
Weakness
Resistance

The calculation of damage is the following:


If the attacker Attacks with melee the defender defending itself with defense, if the attacker attacks with magic the defender defending itself with magical defense.


The Attackers Attack value*20/the defender's defense or magical defense controls the base damage.


The difference in the attacker's Agility and the defender's can result in a Critical hit or a miss. If the attacker have a much higher agility then the defender he have a big chance to do a critical hit and a small to miss. It's the opposite if the attacker have mush lower agility then the defender.


The biggest chance to get a critical hit is 21% and the lowest is 1 %. The biggest risk to miss is 35% and the lowest is 1%.

A ranger has 5% bigger risk to miss but also have 5% bigger chance to do a critical hit.


If the defender have a weakness to the attackers attack type the defender will get damaged more. The opposite with resistance.
Some card can have some special abilities. For example Akatosh do double damage to daedras.



The Base Cards


The two Base Cards is the most important cards. When you select a card to be your base card, the card's hp is doubled. A base card can only be attacked if it's alone on the table and a base card can never attack. To attack the enemy's base card just press attack after killing the other cards on his side. You won't get the question about where you should attack, instead the card automatically attack the base card.
If one of the base Cards dies the game is over.



The Enemy


The enemy's AI is just random. He don't use the best card or don't attack so good. He is following all the rules though and I will give him more of a "brain" later to make him use a good tactic.
