Power Decks:
Strength, Magic, Fire, Electric, Ice, Water

How to play:
Each Player has 3 Power Decks. If you have multiple powers, then feel free to take a variety of Power Decks. If you have an ability that is very strong, then you should take two or three of the same deck.

This game relies on using a 20 sided dice. A virtual 20 sided dice can be found here:

To start, roll a d20 for each deck, determining which cards you start with. At the start of each turn, you will draw another card of the same type you have used. Again, you will roll a d20 to determine what you draw.

When it is your turn, you may play 1 card in your hand of the following types: Basic Attacks, Environment, Defense, and Special Attacks. During your opponent’s turn, you may use resist cards to immediately prevent damage. Remember that you cannot draw more cards until the start of your turn.

Each player begins with 10 Life Points. The goal is to reduce your opponent to 0 Life Points.

So we can only have three cards in our hand, and we can only draw when we have used a card?

Yep. It might be important when we actually start getting good at this game that you can't draw a new card until the start of your turn. This means you can't draw a potential resist card before your opponent gets a chance to go.

I'm thinking about adding a rule that you can spend a turn doing nothing, but you get to redraw all 3 of your cards.

So, anyone want to playtest this with me?

I would love to.

Excellent. I challenge you to a duel, Akunin. I will of course be using the Manliest of all superheroes: Aquaman. He will have 2 strength decks and 1 water deck.

My starting cards, as picked by the toss of a dice are:
Bulletproof, Resist 3, Resist 3

Choose your decks, and roll for your cards. You can go ahead and go first...because I say so.

Then I will be using the manliest of all supervillains: Me. I was originally going for two parts magic, one part strength, but I figured it would be the other way around for Kyte. 1 magic, 2 strength.

My starting cards:

Magic Attack 2, Bulletproof, Resist 2.

I'll go ahead and attach Bulletproof right now.

10

I will also attach Bulletproof.

Current Hand- Resist 3, Resist 3

10 life points

I'll go ahead and draw a card from one of my strength decks to replace Bulletproof, then. I drew Break Down The Wall.

I'll now use my Magic Attack 2.

Cards: Bulletproof, Resist 2

10

I use Resist 3 from my strength deck to dodge your magic attack. I then draw Resist 1 and Regeneration from my strength deck.

Well, I don't have any attack cards, so I guess I'll attach Regeneration.

Attached: Bulletproof, Regeneration

In Hand: Water- Resist 3. Strength- Resist 1.

10 life points.

Apparently, Aquaman is playing this quite defensively.

Haha. Sorry, I forgot to mention Bulletproof was attached, too...I had Break Down The Wall and Resist 2. I sincerely apologize.

Since I used Magic, I'll draw from Magic. I got Magic Attack 1.

I'll...use Magic Attack 1, I guess. xD

Cards: Break Down The Wall, Resist 2

Red will be Strength, and black will be Magic, when I save cards in hand... xD

10

And, apparently, Kyte's getting all of the right bullets but none of the right guns. xD
