A game order is decided causally

During the start of his turn (except the first turn) the Player Draw 1, and gain 5 Energy
During his turn the Player can perform any number of action he wants, spending Energy

Draw : By spending 5 Energy, you can Draw 1 card
Summon : By spending the Summon Cost you can Summon a Creature from the Hand to the Field
Move : By spending 1 Energy you can Move a Creature (see Move section)
Skill : By spending the Skill Cost you can use the Skill of a Creature on the Field
Attack : By spending the Attack Cost you can attack using a Creature on the Field

you can Move that Creature in 1 near Cell, up three times

Each Creature (including the Hero) on the Field can Move only one time each turns

When an opponent's Creature is situated in a Cell
corresponding to a Grey Zone of one your Creature, you can Attack.
To Attack you have to spend the Attack Cost write on the card

Atk of your Creature it is subtracted by Df of your opponent,
the result is subtracted from the Hp of the Creature

For example, a Creature with 17 Atk that attack
a opponent's Creature with 14 Df, inflict 3 Dmg

Each Creature can make a single Attack per turn

When the Hp of a Creature descend to 0, it is destroyed,
and is placed in the GY (Graveyard)

When you Attack an opponent Creature, immediately after the damage calculation,
if the opposing Creature is in a compatible attacking position, your Creature suffers an attack from the adversary Creature,
in this attack (called Return Attack) all the damages suffered are halved

Spells are basically divided into two categories, those with Matrix and those without.
Spells without a Matrix can always be used when the requirements are met.
Spells with Matrix can only be used by the Hero.
With the same process you use to define the attack zones,
Spell with Matrix, take the Hero (black square) as a starting point and act in the gray zone

Zones are always evoked by taking the Hero's position as a reference point.
When you evoke a Zone use a pencil to mark it on the Field.
When a Creature is in a Zone (trimmed squares) and some requirements are met, the effect of the Zone is activated

The black squares edged in white, represent Walls.
Walls are physical spaces, Creatures can not move on a Cell occupied by a Wall.
A Wall has Hp and Df statistics, and can be attacked.
When a Wall Hp drops to 0, it is destroyed (erase it with rubber)
