[edit] Game rules

There are four rarity categories: Normal, Rare, Super Rare, and Secret Rare. There are two kinds of cards: Unit Cards and Operation Cards.

  • Unit Cards are divided into four sizes: Small (warriors), Medium (individual mecha), Large (mecha combinations), and Extra Large (mecha carriers).
    • If a Unit Card has a Strike Point mark of "1", it can deliver damage. If it has an SP mark of "!", It can use an attack which is described in the card text. If it has no mark, it cannot Strike.
  • Operation Cards involve Sentai related powers. They can be "Stationary" (the operation is in effect for as long as the card is in use) or "Counter" (can be used during your opponent's turn).

To Hold Command over a particular category, turn the card to its left side. To Release Command, turn it back.

The play sheet used in this game has a space for the deck, a space for Operation Cards, a "Power Zone", a "Command Zone", a "Rush Area", and a "Battle Area".

Each turn is divided into five "Phases".

  • In the Start Phase, you draw one card from your deck.
  • In the Charge Phase, you can place a card in the Power Zone, Hold/Release Command, or even activate an Operation card.
  • In the Rush Phase, you bring a card to the Rush Area (you should be Holding Command over that card's catergory).
  • In the Battle Phase, you bring a card to the Battle Area and attack your opponent. Cards that are bested in Battle Points are considered "struck", and must be removed from the sheet.
  • In the End Phase, you end your turn.

In order to Rush a card, one must Hold Command over a particular category. Each Card requires a certain number of cards in the Power Zone (the face can be up or down) to be Rushed. The play sheet can be downloaded at the website below (in Download section; Adobe Acrobat is required).
