The Arena

In a normal condition, a Seal can attack only if it is at At Line. A Seal can only attack to Df Line while there are no Seals at the opponent's At Line.

When an attacking Seal battles a Seal at At Line, compare the value of the attacking Seal's At with the other Seal's. The Seal which has the lower At value is destroyed. If they have the same At value, compare their Sp value with each other. The Seal which has the lower Sp value is destroyed. If they have the same At and Sp values, the battle is draw, and both Seals are destroyed.

When an attacking Seal battles a Seal at Df Line, compare the value of the attacking Seal's At with the value of the other Seal's Df. If the At value is higher than the Df value, the attacked Seal is destroyed. If the At value is lower than the Df value, no Seals are destroyed. If the At value is equal to the Df value, compare their Sp values with each other. If the value of the attacking Seal's Sp is higher than the other Seal's, the attacked Seal is destroyed. If the value of the attacking Seal's Sp is equal to or lower than the other Seal's, no Seals are destroyed.

Skill

Skills have symbol . They appear on Seals and Mystic Cards. Skills work when you order them to do it. There are Skill conditions written at the back of the Skills.

"(Inf)" means you can use these Skills any time that have interfere steps.

"(_ Line)" means that Seal must be in the _ line in order to use this Skill.

"(Mp _)" means you must pay Mp _ in order to use this Skill.

"(Charge _)" means that card must pay its Charge _ in order to use this Skill.

Ability

Abilities work all time, or in certain conditions. You don't have to order for them to work.

Combination

Combination is a state of Seal in which one Seal combines with other one or two Seal(s). When Seals are combining, you have to put Seals you have to combine each other into one pile. A main Seal is a Seal that is above other Seal(s). A support Seal is a Seal that is under a main Seal.

Combination is used for increasing the Main Seal's At and/or making the Skills/Ablilities conditions right.

In 1 turn, a player can order a Seal to combine another Seal(s) once.
In 1 turn, a player can "break" combination a combined Seal once.
You must have the right Seals in order to perform the combination.
Once a player has combined a Seal, they cannot break combination that Seal.

Rules of Combination

A Seal that has just been played cannot be a "support seal" combination. A "support-seal" is a Seal under the main Seal when in a combination.
A combination has 2 states: Double Combination and Triple Combination
1. Double Combination means a main Seal has only 1 "support seal".
2. Triple Combination means a main Seal had 2 "support seals".
Breaking Combination can only happen once per Subturn.
When a Seal breaks combination, the "support seal(s)" will be in the same Line as the main Seal.

Attack All, Skill All and Attack Many Times

Attack All

Skill All

Very similar to Attack All. When you use a Skill All, it affects all of your opponent's Seals, no exception.

Attack Many Times

Attack to Hand

When your opponent has no more Seals left, you can attack to your opponent's hand. You can attack a Seal or Mystic Card in your opponent's hand, and that card immediately goes to the Shrine (will be explained later) without calculating the At, Df Sp etc. You can attack to your opponent's hand only once per turn.

Shrine

When a Seal is lost from a battle, effect, it goes to the Shrine. If the overall Level of Seals in the Shrine reaches Shrine Max, you lose the game.

Remove Zone

When a card has been removed (moved to the Remove Zone), it is considered to be "Removed Out of the Game".

Active & Inactive Seal

When a new Subturn starts, all of your Seal becomes Active Seal. It means that you can do anything with that Seal. When you order that Seal to use Skill or attack, it becomes Inactive Seal. An Inactive Seal cannot do anything and must wait until the End of Subturn Step.
An Inactive Seal cannot combine with another Seal and cannot change Line.
If a Seal combines, breaks combination, and/or changes Line, it won't become Inactive Seal. So it is recommended to do those before attacking or using skill.

Changing Lines

1 Seal can change Line only once per Subturn. You can change line only during your Attack Subturn.

Curse

It is another way of destroying, or play tricks on your opponent's Seals and it can be another way of winning instead of attacking.

Poison Curse: A Poison Cursed Seal is destroyed when the turns that indicates on the Curse ends.
Stone Curse: A Stone Cursed Seal cannot attack, use skill, combine, break Combination, or change Line. But its ability still works.
Freeze Curse: A Freeze Cursed Seal goes to the Df Line and cannot change a Line and attack, but It can use Skill, combine, or break Combination if the conditions are correct. Its ability still works.
Last Dance Curse: A Last Dance Cursed Seal gets an effect(s) that indicates on the Curse such as "gets At +...", "gets an ability ...", and is destroyed when the turns that indicates on the Curse ends.
Death Curse: A Death Cursed Seal is destroyed immediately.
Charm Curse: A Charm Cursed Seal is taken control by the player who use the card effect to Charm Curse it. It can attack or change Line but cannot combine, break Combination, using Skill, or attack to Hand. A Charm Cursed Seal is still in the card owner's Arena, and the card owner designate the effect of a Charm Cursed Seal that refers to "you" or do not refer to anyone.
Dimension Curse: A Dimension Curse d Seal is still on the Arena, but is not in any Line. It cannot attack, use skill, combine, break Combination, or change Line. It cannot be selected as an attack target, but can be selected as Skills/Abilities target of Seal and Mystic Card. When an effect of a Dimension Curse is gone, the card owner has to designate a Line of that Seal card.

If a Seal has the ability "cancel Curse (any kind of Curse)", it means that it is unaffected by a Curse.

If a Seal has the ability "protection from Curse (any kind of Curse)", it means that it is protected from Curse, and must be moved to another appropriate Seal.

A Seal that has a Curse on it cannot be a support seal, but the main seal can have Curse on it. When the combined Seal dies, all of its support seals goes to the Shrine as well.

Interfere

Interfere Skills on Seals and Mystic Cards have this symbol on it.

This means that the Seal's Skill or Mystic Card can be used anytime that have Interfere Step (The Interfere Steps that is frequently used is the Interfere Step during attacking, using Skill, combining Seal, breaking Seal's Combination, changing Seal's Line, Spelling Mystic Card, Summoning Seal, Cursing Seal, and a card going to the Shrine). But if it is used on a Seal, when it finishes, it becomes an Inactive Seal.

How to Win

There are several ways to win in the game.

If your opponent havs no Seal in his/her Arena for the whole Attack Subturn, you win.
If the overall Level of Seals in the opponent Shrine reaches Shrine Max, you win.
If your opponent has no more cards to draw, you win.
