Here's
how to play the game. You choose five cards from the set
in your hands and lay them out with the face down. Then,
you and your opponent--either another person or the computer--both
turn over one card at a time. There are 350 kinds of cards,
and by using the various offensive powers, defensive powers,
and other characteristics of your cards skillfully, you
can take away the opponent's life points.
The player whose life points go all the way down to zero
first loses the game. If it's just a match between two monsters,
the winner would simply be the one with the stronger offensive
or defensive power. But by using a "field" card, you can
pick a setting for the battle--such as the sea or prairie--that
is favorable for your monster. The players' strategies,
as well as chance circumstances, can sometimes lead to dramatic
situations, making it an exciting game. Using GameBoy's
communication feature, you can connect two machines and
play against a friend or trade cards. The more you play,
the higher the chances of your coming across unusual and
valuable cards, so there is also the fun of collecting all
of the cards.
