• Commander Cards. You can only equip one Commander card in a deck. The game ends with a defeat of a side that has its Commander card's HP at 0 or less. Commanders also provide minor boosts to your side or affect the enemy's cards.

Other cards can be placed at any place in your deck, but no more than 10. They are divided into 3 cathegories:

1. Assault cards. They are arranged at the top of the each side's playing zone(from their look). Cards of this type play from left to right for every side. These cards can attack other Assault cards if any are facing it, Structuresif a Structure has a Wall AS(the Assault cards must not have any other Assault cards facing it) or the Assault card has a Siege AS(the attack on Structure will be executed after the attack on Assault card) or the Commander directly if there are no Structures with a Wall AS or the Assault card has a Fear AS(in this case the facing Assault card will be ignored).
2. Structures. They are located at the bottom of each player's playing zone, to the right of the Commander card. They are played from left to right before the Assault cards. Structures can not attack, but they have AS which can attack one or all enemies, block damage, counter-attack, regenerate or rally Assault cards. These cards are valuable and hard or impossible to destroy without Siege.
3. Action cards. These cards are played first during each side's turn. They are one-time cards that offer a strong boost for your side or affect other side's cards severely. The effects caused by Action cards last for only one turn if it does not affect HP.
