Game Components

•Deck: The deck contains 55 cards, including offensive and defensive cards.

•Offensive Cards: Attack, Mega Attack, Reveal, Swap, Steal, and Limit.

•Defensive Cards: Shield, Mega Shield, Deflect, Capture, Block, and Disrupt.

Objective

•Be the last player standing after eliminating all other players. Victory goes to the cunning strategist who outmaneuvers their opponents.

Card Game Setup

•Players: 2 to 6 players.

•Card Distribution: Deal 7 cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face-down to form the drawing pile.

•Starting Player: Determine who starts the game. Take turns counterclockwise.

Gameplay

•The Attacker: The player with the turn is referred to as the “Attacker.” Only the Attacker has the power to initiate battles.

•Battles: The Attacker can choose to initiate battles against any opponent. Battles must start with an offensive card. If the Attacker decides not to battle during their turn, they can draw a card from the pile and end their turn instead.

•Battle Resolution: The opponent can respond to the Attacker’s card by playing any legal card. The battle continues with defensive card interactions between the Attacker and their opponent until the offensive card is nullified or its effect takes place.

•Card Effects: Follow the instructions written on each card to understand their specific effects and the legal ways they can be used.

•Deflecting an Offensive Card: If a player plays a Deflect card to redirect an offensive card onto another player, the new targeted player can play a defensive card in response.

•Multiple Battles: The Attacker can initiate multiple battles during their turn, targeting different opponents.

•Defending and Elimination: Players can only be eliminated if they are unable to defend themselves against an ‘Attack’ or ‘Mega Attack’ card. Elimination does not occur if a player runs out of cards.

•Ending the Turn: At the end of their turn, the Attacker must draw a card from the pile. If the pile runs out of cards, all previously used cards are reshuffled to create a new pile.

•Eliminating the Attacker: If an opponent Deflects an Attack or a Mega Attack back to the Attacker, the Attacker may be eliminated in their own turn if they are unable to defend themselves against the redirected card.

•Inheriting Cards from Eliminated Players: When a player is eliminated, the player who played the last card against them inherits all the unused cards in their hand, regardless of whether that player was the Attacker or not.

Messy and Complex Battles

•Battles can become intricate and involve multiple card interactions, leading to challenging and dynamic situations.

For instance, the Attacker plays an Attack card, and the opponent counters with a Capture card. The Attacker then Captures the opponent’s Capture card and proceeds with their initial attack. However, the opponent Blocks the Attacker’s Capture card, allowing the opponents’ Capture card to still take effect.

In instances where there is confusion or disagreement regarding the sequence of card plays or their effects, it is essential for players to communicate and collaborate to reach a consensus on what has transpired.

The Disrupt Card
