To play most cards, one has to invest Elements to play it. Elements are gained from Land cards. There are five different types of elements: Red (Fuel), White (Population), Green (Resources), Black (Pollution), and Blue (Innovation).
Turn Order is:
Begin (untap spent lands, draw a card) Main phase (play a land, play any cards you want and can afford) Sabotage (declare attacks on enemy cards, defender declares guards, resolve) Main phase again (play a land if you haven't, play any cards you want and can afford) End (repair any damaged cards not destroyed, yours and opponents, pass the turn over)
If you begin your turn at 0 MP, you win.
Active Cards on the field all have a Damage and Defence value. The amount a player's MP is reduced is determined by adding together the Damage values of your active cards.
