Phases:
Draw Phase - The turn's player draws a card from their deck
Main Phase - The turn's player can play any Fighter cards if they have space to the Battle Zone or the Reserve Zone, any Ally cards they have the requirements for to the Support Zone, Item cards they have the requirements for, and any Evolution cards they have the requirements for to the targeted Fighter.
Deploy Phase - Any Vehicle Ally cards or Equip Item cards in the Support Zone are attached to active Fighter cards of the player's choice.
Combat Phase - The turn's player can declare an attack on a Defending Fighter with one of their own Fighter cards. All Attacking Fighters can only declare an attack once. One Attack card can be played for each declared attack.
End Phase - The turn's player removes a counter from the Timer Count of any Fighter cards that have one, and the next player begins their own turn.

Play Zones:
The game is split into several different "zones", each of which have different functions.
Battle Zone - Fighter cards are played here, and this is where the Combat Phase takes place. Up to 3 Fighter cards can be in you Battle Zone at a time. Some cards may become active in the Battle Zone, but cannot be played to the Battle Zone. Evolutions may also be played to the Battle Zone if requirements are met.
Support Zone - The Support Zone is where Ally cards and Items are played. Any number of these cards can be played to the Support Zone, as long as their requirements are met. It is located directly underneath the Battle Zone.
Reserve Zone - Up to 2 Fighter cards can be stored here. If a Fighter card in the Battle Zone is removed from play, you may move a Fighter from the Reserve Zone to the Battle Zone. It is located to the side of the Support and Battle Zones.
Defeated Zone - Fighters that have had their HP reduced to 0 are sent here. If you ever have 6 cards in the Defeated Zone at a time, you lose the match. Cards in the Defeated Zone cannot be interacted with unless specified by card text.
Deck/Discard Zones - These are where your deck is stored and where your discard pile is stored. These are simply where your deck and discard pile are stored, not the deck or discard pile themselves.

Explanations:
Timer Count - Some cards have a Timer Count. At the end of every turn a card with a Timer counts down from the number it started on. When a card's Timer hits 0, that card is either sent back to the hand if it is a Fighter card, or is discarded if it is any other time of card. Some cards, such as Attack cards, require a certain amount of Timer Count to  be paid before they can be used. If paying for a card for make a Timer reach 0, then that card cannot be used. When a card is returned to your hand via their Timer running out, they are healed of all damage. If an Evolution card's Timer is reduced to 0, they are discarded, and the Timer of the original card is reset. A card that has been returned to your hand via its Timer being reduced to 0 cannot be played to the Battle Zone on the following turn, even if there is available space, only to the Reserve Zone.

Attaching - Some cards may be "attached" to others. When a card is attached, simply place it near the card it has become attached to. Most cards that can become attached are helpful, but some can become an inconvenience.


Card Types:
Attack Cards
Attack Cards represent the many special attacks and abilities used in fights from the Ultra series. Attack cards can only be played during the Combat Phase, and are used to boost the capabilities of Fighter cards. Nearly all Attack cards grant a boost to Power, but some can add extra effects to the attack as well. To play an Attack card, the Fighters you control must match the specified elements on the Attack card, mostly matching up to the correct Color and Fighter Class, but some will require paying a number of a Fighter's current Timer.

While there are no different classes of Attack cards, many have unique Keywords that make them function very differently from each other. Keywords like Multi allow the Attack to hit multiple Fighters, while Shield can protect the Fighter the next time they take damage. Some, like the Counter Keyword, change when the Attack may be played, allowing you to reverse your opponent's attacks. Using Attack cards strategically is incredibly important.

Ally Cards
Ally Cards are represented by the various non-combatant characters and combat vehicles featured in the Ultra series. There are two different types of Ally cards.

Supporter Ally Cards Are played to the Support Zone, and require certain conditions to be met in order to be played. While in play, Supporter cards can grant various passive effects, like reducing damage to one of your Fighters. Most Supporter Ally cards must exit play at some point, usually by Timer Count being reduced to 0, or being discarded because of their effect, but some can remain in play for the entire game.

Vehicle Ally Cards are also played to the Support Zone, and most have certain requirements that must be met to be played as well. However, when a turn enters the "Deploy Phase", any in play Vehicle Ally cards may be attached to an in play Fighter that player controls. Vehicle Ally cards can grant certain effects specific to the Combat Phase, mostly by boosting the strength of the Fighter they are attached to. If a Vehicle Ally card is still attached to a Fighter by that player's next Deployment Phase, they may be recalled to the Support Zone. If the Fighter that a Vehicle Ally card is attached to is damaged in the Combat Phase, then it is sent to the discard, even if it is outside the Combat Phase.

Evolution
Evolution Cards are used to make your Fighters stronger, and are represented by upgrades and alternate forms received by Ultras and Monsters. To play an Evolution card, you place it on top of a card that has the name specified on the Evolution card (EG. "EX Gomora" may only be played on top of a Fighter card named "Gomora"). After an Evolution card is played, they function exactly like a Fighter card, and they are treated as Fighter cards for all interactions. If the HP of an Evolution card is reduced to 0, it and all cards underneath it are sent to the Defeated Zone.
