Game Preparation

1. Greet your opponent before the game.
2. Each daimyo plays Rock-Paper-Scissors. The winner goes first.
3. Each player shuffles their deck and places it face-down in their Deck Zone.
4. Each daimyo looks at the top 10 cards of their deck and chooses 5 to place face-down in any order as gates. The remaining 5 cards are added to their hand.

   Tips!

   When setting up gates, prioritize placing cards that have kyu-kyu-nyo-ritsu-ryo.

5. Once both players have finished preparing, the game begins.

Turn Sequence

Strategy Mode

1. Untap Step
Untap all cards you control on the battlefield.

2. Draw Step
Draw a card. (The first player can’t draw a card on their first turn.)

3. Elementium Step
Choose one of the following:
・Put 1 card with elementium from your hand onto the battlefield in its elementium orientation, or
・Put any card face-down on the battlefield as an elementium.

Main Phase

You may cast cards from your hand. You may do this as many times as you can pay the costs.

* Face-down elementium are considered to have all attributes.

Ikusa Phase

You may perform the following sequence any number of times:

1. Attack Declaration Step
Tap one of your untapped wargeists and declare an attack on your opponent’s daimyo. Wargeists that entered the battlefield this turn can’t attack.

2. Block Declaration Step
The attacked daimyo may tap any number of untapped wargeists they control to have them block the attack. If blocking, the attack target is changed to the blocking wargeist(s).

3. Ikusa Resolution Step
If the attack target is a daimyo
If the daimyo has gates, reveal the top card of the gates and put it into Hell. If there are no gates, reveal and put a number of cards from the top of the deck equal to the attacking wargeist’s attack power into Hell. If any cards put from gates or the deck have kyu-kyu-nyo-ritsu-ryo, they may be cast without paying their cost.

If the attack target is a wargeist
The attacking wargeist and the blocking wargeist deal damage equal to their attack power to each other’s health. If there are multiple blocking wargeists, the attacking wargeist distributes its damage among them as desired.
* Wargeists that take damage equal to or greater than their health during the same turn are destroyed.

End Phase

Resolve any effects that trigger at the end of the turn.
Then, remove all damage from wargeists and end your turn.
After ending your turn, the next daimyo begins their Start Phase.

Card Orientations

A card holds one piece of information of itself in its uprightorientation, and one piece of information of another card,an elementium, or kyu-kyu-nyo-ritsu-ryo in its reversed orientation.
When casting a card that holds information of another cardin its reversed orientation, you choose whether to cast it asthe upright version or the reversed version.

• Elementium

  

  Elementium generates the energy required to cast cards or activate abilities.

• Kyu-kyu-nyo-ritsu-ryo

  

  Cards with kyu-kyu-nyo-ritsu-ryo can be cast at any time, not just during your turn’s main phase. Additionally, when a card with kyu-kyu-nyo-ritsu-ryo would be sent from a gate or deck to Hell by ikusa, you may cast it without paying its cost.
