Gameplay[]

Players send out members using Energy Cards to perform in a Live Performance. The goal is to have a Successful Live by fulfilling the requirements of their chosen Live Card during the Live Phase. Once the player gets a successful Live Card, the Live Card then gets sent to the Success Live Card storage area. The game is over when a player has 3 Live Cards in the Success Live Card storage.

Rules[]

Victory conditions[]

  • The player that has 3 Live Cards in the Success Live Card storage wins the game immediately.

Playing Areas[]

Deck Area[]

The player's deck is placed face down in this area and consists of 60 cards (48 Member Cards and 12 Live Cards). Unlike other trading card games, the game does not end when a player runs out of cards in their deck. Instead, the player shuffles the cards in their waiting room to put back in the deck area.

Energy Deck Storage[]

12 Energy Cards are placed in this area.

Waiting Room[]

Member Cards that have been replaced through Baton Passing or by card effects and failed Live Cards are placed in this area face up.

Energy Storage[]

At the start of every turn, an Energy Card is placed there vertically face up from the Energy Deck Storage. 3 Energy Cards are placed there at the start of the game.

Stage[]

There are 3 slots in this area, Left Side Area, Center Area, and Right Side Area. Only 1 Member Card can fill in a slot. To bring out a Member Card, the player must use Energy Cards by turning the same amount of Energy Cards sideways horizontally as the Energy value of the Member Card. For example, if the player wants to use a Member Card that has the Energy value of 3, then the player must turn 3 Energy Cards sideways horizontally in order to bring out the Member Card into the Stage. Any slot is fine, but keep in mind that certain Member Cards can take advantage of its slot depending on their card effect.

Live Card Storage[]

At the end of the turn, up to 3 cards are placed face down horizontally from the player's hand in this area. The player then can draw cards from the Deck Area up to the same amount of cards that they placed in the Live Card Storage. Once the second player has placed their cards in the Live Card Storage, a Live Performance begins. Both players must reveal the cards placed in this area face up. Any cards that are not Live Cards are then sent to the Waiting Room while the Live Cards remain in this area.

Success Live Card Storage[]

This is where successful Live Cards are placed. At the end of a Live Performance, if a player is able perform a successful Live Performance, they can then move their Live Cards from the Live Card Storage to the Success Live Card Storage and a new turn begins. However, if a player has failed to fulfill the requirements of their Live Performance, it is then considered to be a Failed Live and the player must send their Live Cards from the Live Card Storage to the Waiting Room and new turn begins. When a player has 3 Live Cards in the Success Live Card Storage, the game ends.
