Be the first player to empty your hand. Every match starts with each duelist holding 7 cards and one card face-up on the discard pile.

• Play a card that matches the color or the value of the top card on the discard pile.
• If you can't (or don't want to), draw one card from the deck. If it's playable, you can play it right away.
• You have a limited turn timer. Miss it and the turn passes automatically.

• Skip

  The next player loses their turn.

• Reverse

  Flip the turn order. In 1v1, it acts like a Skip.

• +2

  Next player draws 2 (or stacks another +2/+4).

• Prism Shift

  Wild card — set the active color to whatever you need.

Exclusives are the rare, showy plays. In addition to their special effect, every exclusive locks the active color to its own spirit — even if the round was running in a different color.

• Blaze Burst

  +2 to the next player AND locks the active color to Blaze.

• Ripple Wave

  Reverses the order AND locks the active color to Ripple.

• Spark Dash

  Skips every other seat so you play again, locking color to Spark.

• Nova Rift

  Steals a random card from the next player and locks color to Nova.

The first player with an empty hand wins the round and takes home XP, coins and a bump on the ranking. Everyone else earns some XP for playing.
