How To Play Blasphemy TCG

How To Play 1v1
1- Determine the Starting Player: The player who’s been free from a religion the longest goes first. If both players left at the same time, the one deemed more blasphemous takes the lead.
2- Starting Souls: Each blasphemer begins with 25 Souls—your lifeline in this unholy showdown.
3- Initial Draw: At the game’s start, draw 5 cards from your deck to form your hand.
4- Roll for Action Points: Roll two dice at the beginning of your turn. The total is your action points to spend that round.
5- Draw Phase: Pick up 2 cards from your deck to add to your hand each turn.
6- Play Cards: You may place up to 2 cards from your hand onto the field per turn.
7- Card Placement: Lay cards face-up with the text facing your opponent. Announce the card’s title aloud—and the description too, if you’re still learning the lore.
8- First Round Restriction: Cards placed on the field during the first round can’t be activated until the next round.
9- Activate to Attack: On later turns, activate a card by turning it horizontal to strike an opponent’s card.
10- Double Assault: Team up 2 of your cards to attack a single enemy card for amplified damage.
11- Damage Calculation: When your attack exceeds an opponent’s card’s defense score, the excess damage deducts from their Souls.
12- Defense Reduction: If your attack is weaker than the opponent’s defense, it chips away at their card’s defense score, leaving the remainder for the next round.
13- Victory Condition: Wield your blasphemous wisdom for good—win by draining your opponent’s Soul score to 0.

How To Play Multiplayer 3+
1- Core Gameplay: Multiplayer follows all 1v1 rules with the additions below.
2- Starting Souls: Each blasphemer begins with 15 Souls.
3- Flexible Combat: You may target any blasphemer for an attack.
4- Soul Harvest Bonus: When a player is eliminated, the player with the fewest Souls gains 3 Souls.
5- Eternal Rift: After 10 rounds, each player discards the top 5 cards from their deck.
6- Victory Condition: Win by being the last blasphemer standing.

Rules
1- Secret Rebel Bonus: If you’re defying your religion’s strict rules by playing Blasphemy TCG in secret, add 3 Souls to your starting total—true blasphemy deserves a reward.
2- Deck Limit: Your deck must contain no more than 45 cards. Choose your arsenal with care.
3- Shuffle Deck: All decks of cards must be shuffled before the game starts.
4- Dice Cost: Each card you activate deducts from your action points (rolled dice total) for that turn.
5- Hand Limit: You can hold a maximum of 7 cards in your hand at any time.
6- Overload Penalty: If you end your turn with more than 7 cards, your opponent blindly selects which excess cards to discard from your hand.
7- Field Capacity: Each blasphemer can have up to 4 cards active on the field at once, with only 1 allowed to be a Holy Relic card.
8- Direct Assault: If your opponent has no cards left on the field, your attacks strike their Soul score directly.
9- Card Effects: Holy Relic and Scandal cards can target one or multiple series types, depending on their power. Scandal cards can be played straight from your hand, catching your opponent off guard with no need to place them on the field first.
