Card Values

To start off, there are 52 cards per deck. The Deck is split evenly between black background cards and white background cards. Black Cards are Negative and White Cards are Positive, this is also known as the card “Force Value” and will either be positive or negative.

There are two types of cards: Number Cards and Action Cards.

The Number Cards are 1 through 9. The numbered cards equal the value on each card. A Black 4 = -4 and a white 3 = +3.

• Void = Nullifies all cards of the same force.
• Dragon = Nullifies all cards of the opposite force.
• X = Doubles all cards of the same force.
