Cardwars (Working Title)

Players each starts with 20 life. When a player's life is reduced to 0 or less, that player loses the game.

Phases of play

Each of these phases occurs for each player's turn.

1. Recovery phase

Unmark all marked cards you control.

2. Draw phase

If your deck is empty, shuffle your graveyard and it becomes your new deck.

Draw one card from the top of your deck.

3. Play phase

One resource card may be played.

A Joker card may be played as a resource. It represents every suit and has a value of 10.

You may destroy any number of resource cards you control to play a face card of equal or lesser value and of the same suit as the destroyed resource cards.

4. Attack phase

You may attack your opponent with any number of face cards you control which have not been put into play this turn. Any attacking face cards are marked.

5. Defense phase

Your opponent may play a Joker card. If they do, all of your attacking face cards are destroyed and no damage is dealt.

Your opponent may block your attackers with any combination of unmarked resource cards and face cards they control. Your opponent must choose which cards block which attackers, or choose to not block an attacker all. Once blockers are declared, damage is dealt simultaneously.

Multiple cards may block a single attacker. The attacker chooses how damage is distributed among the blocking cards.

Face cards deal and absorb damage equal to their value, while resource cards deal no damage and absorb damage equal to their value.

Whenever a card absorbs damage greater than or equal to its value in a single turn, that card is destroyed.

Any damage that is not absorbed is dealt to the opponent's life.

6. End of turn

It becomes your opponent's turn.
