Anthrealm TCG
How to Play
Card Types
✦ Character Cards:
Character cards exist to introduce the playable characters. These are the cards you will use to put a character in play.
✦ Battle Cards:
They show the base stats of a character, their skills, and the energy points required to use those skills.
✦ Relic Cards:
Relics are pieces of equipment that provide buffs to the character they are attached to. They stay in play until that character is knocked out.
✦ Action Cards:
Allow you to perform special one-time actions outside of normal skills. Each card can only be used once in a game, and only one action card can be played per turn.
✦ Energy Cards:
Energy cards act as counters to keep track of how much energy a character has, and which elements a player has control of.
The Elements
There are seven basic elements in Anthrealm: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Lightning, Light, and Dark. Each element has advantages and weaknesses VS the others. Advantages provide +10 to attack power. Weaknesses provide -10 to defense strength. "Pure" is an omni-element that can replace all other elements and be used by any character regardless of their element. Pure energy CANNOT be used to capture an element.
