| CARD GAME Game Rules Each player has to have a deck of at least five Character cards. The maximum is eight, so get as many as you can. If a player has more cards than the other, that player usually wins. The object of the game is to defeat all of your opponent's characters. The player whose characters are all defeated loses the game. You defeat characters by attacking them with your special B-button moves to lower their health. All basic characters have one hundred health capacity and all the Secret Characters have one hundred twenty, unless the Character card says otherwise. At the beginning of the game, decide who will go first. You can do this anyway you like. Shuffle your character cards and place them face down in a pile. Draw the first card. This character is the one you have to use. When your first character is defeated, draw your next character and so forth. When it is your turn, draw a card from the Deck and look at it. Different move cards (B, B-up or B-down) damage the enemy. If you draw one of these, look at your character card. It will have an amount of damage and the name of your attack under the B, B-up, or B-down titles. To deal this damage, place a certain amount of "battlers", or damage counters, on or beside your opponent's character card, remembering that each battler counts as ten damage. If there is a certain symbol in the place of an attack amount, refer to the symbol key to see what to do. Repeat this method until one of the characters is defeated. If you draw a hazard card from the deck, do what that card tells you to do. When you run out of cards in the deck, shuffle them and place them back in a pile. When one of the characters is defeated, that player draws another one from his/her character pile. When someone runs out of character cards, they lose, the other player wins, and the game ends. You can play this game with more than two people, too. In this case, each player has their own deck, and every time they attack, they choose one of the three or four characters playing to attack. Besides that, however, the rules are pretty much the same. You can also have multi-player Team Battles. If you want to do this, the rules are exactly like regular multi-player, except that the two on a team do not attack each other.  |
