The Cards

• Cards have names at the top action point costs and symbols at the bottom describing their effects. Full list of cards is at the bottom of the guide.
• Card effects happen when you select and play them. Effects happen instantly and not at the end of the turn.

Saúde

• Represented by the number next to the heart. If yours goes to zero you lose. If your enemies goes to zero, você ganha.
  •  Health can be healed by playing cards with hearts on the bottom. Such as taco to heal 2 pontos

• Health can be damaged by tools and weapons such as the katana

Action Points

• Represented by the number in the large orange circle this dictates how many cards you can play in a turn.
• Cards cost action points to play as shown by the smaller orange circle on each card.
• Você é dado 3 action points per turn and they carry over to your next turn as well.
  • By not using all your points you can accumulate many points to use in a single turn to play many cards
• Some cards such as Punky can increase your action points in a single turn.
• Action points seem to increase without limit if not used.

Escudos

• Some cards provide defense in the form of a blue shield.
• Shields absorb damage before your health temporarily increasing your hit points.
• Shields only last 1 redondo.
