Thanks. I'm gonna need playtesters to make sure it's balanced.
Anyway, here's the basic rules.
The board.
Deck/ Back/Back/You
Discard/Front/Front/Front.
Space
Opponent (mirror of yours)
Deck- THis is where your deck goes.
Front-characters in the frontlines go here.
Discard- this is where discarded cards go
You- This is where you are (metaphorically)
BAck- injured characters can go to the back to heal at a rate of 1 HP per turn. They cannot attack, but can still be attacked by an enemy, unless another unit is in front of it.
There are three types of cards:
Characters(BLue)-Characters are brought into play to attack other characters or the enemy player. Ex: Homestar Runner, Strong Bad, the Fort Wayne Locomotive.
Items(Red)- Items are given to characters to somehow make them stronger. YOu can give items to characters on both sides of the field.
Ex: Bub's Shotgun, Melonade, Capsules
Effects(Yellow)- effects cause something to happen, basically this game's vesion of a magic card.
Field effect placement: Some cards are field effect cards, which are placed on a space and affect characters on that space. These can be destroyed by the opponent, and are considered as 0/10 characters, although they don't take up a space. You cannot attack a field effect card if a character is on that space.
Ex: Bottomless pit, virus, Heavy Lourde
You must create a deck of 40 cards.
To begin: Each player draws 4 cards and starts with 20 life.
Each player draws one card per turn, and 30 DP (do points.)
The first player then expends DP to use cards
Ex: 10 to play Homestar, 5 to make him attack, 5 to give him Bigknife, 10 to play virus.
(DP can be saved for next turn as well.)
Repeat until other player is defeated.
it costs 5 DP to move a unit from the front to the back, and vice versa. 5 is the maximum number of characters you can play.
Abilities:
Knock back-If you knock back someone in the front, they move to the back. If you knockback someone in the back, they have to move to an adjacent space. If there is no availible space, the card returns to it's owners hand. If you knockback someone in front of someone in the back, they go to the back, and the person in the back move to an adjacent space, or back to your opponents hand. They cannot switch places. If a character immune to knockback is in front of a unit without KB immunity, nothing happens. When a unit woth knockback is behind someone without knockback, and that character is hit, either that character must move to a different space or the character behind him suffers 1/2 damage. Units in front of "you" cannot be knocked back.
Stun- a stunned opponent cannot attack or move the next turn. Stuns can stack.
Abilities are cumulative. FOr example, if Marzipan's effect is being used, (heals a unit in the front instead of healing her in the back) and Bub's COncession Stand is also being used(Heals people in the back 2 hp per turn), The Character in the front heals 2 HP.
If a units DEF is reduced to zero, he goes to the discard pile.
Limits: You can only have 3 of the same card in one deck. However, you cannot have two of the same cards in play at the smae time on your side of the field. Ex: you cannot play two homestars. Your opponent, however can have th e same card played on their side.
The following cards cannot be equipped with items:
Bad Graphics ghost
Mrs. Commanderson
Trogdor
Placement:
When a characteris played, where they are placed is important. Units in the front can attack. Units in the back cannot attack, but they can be attacked, unless anotehr character is placed in front of them. Units in the back also heal 1 DEF point per turn. There are two back zones, and 3 front zones. It costs a unit 5 DP to move from the two different zones, but tehy can move freely across same zones.
Where you fit into it all: You are located behind one of the zones. YOu can be attacked if a unit is not in front of you, so it is best to always have a unit in front of you, even if it leaves somene in the back vulnerable.
This is just an early plan. Rules could be changed.[/list]
