QQDND CCG

Cards in QQDND CCG are either Party Members or Resources.

Each deck has 4 Party Members, which are on the field at all times. Each Party Member will have a Resource Value, which is the amount of Resources they require to be added to the deck to include them in your party. If your Pary Members have Resource Values of 15, 12, 12, and 13, your deck can have no fewer than 52 Resource cards in it. Usually, Party Members will also have a Resource Restriction – this is a rule that the Resource cards in that Member's “section” of your deck must follow. All party members also have a Hand Value, the sum of which is the amount you draw at the start of each turn.

Most Party Members will have at least one of either an Effect or an Action – effects are passive abilities that affect the game, whereas Actions are useable effects. You can only use one Action per card per turn – if a Party Member or Resource card has more than one Action, you may only use one per turn.

Resources are a wide range of cards, split into Action Resources and Permanent Resources. Action Resources are used immediately then discarded, and Permanent Resources are played to the field and remain until removed. Further subtypes such as Spells, Skills, Buildings, Allies, etc. have no immediate effect on how the card is played, but can cause affects when cards interact and may fulfill a Party Member's Resource Restriction. Resource cards also have a Frequency value, which is how many of a given card you may have in your deck.

Each Action, whether it be an Action Resource or an Action that a Party Member or Permanent Resource can perform, has an Initiative value. This includes the Action of playing a Permanent Resource.

Each round, both players draw Resources up to their Party's total Hand Value.They each declare the highest Initiative of the cards in their hand, and then the highest-Initiative action available to either players is performed (including Actions of Party Members and Permanents). If this value is tied, resolve it randomly. Ordinarily, this passes the “turn” to the other player.

When the turn is passed, the player who is now “on the turn” may play a Turn Action – this can be an Action with an Initiative value lower than that of the previous Turn Action. The player who is not on the turn may respond with any action that has a higher Initiative than the current Turn Action. When the response resolves, or if the opponent chooses not to respond, the turn passes again and the turn process repeats. When a player chooses not to take a Turn Action, their opponent reveals their hand and may perform any one Action with lower initiative than the previous Turn Action. Both hands are then discarded, and a new round begins.

Some Initiative values are not a single number. They may be represented by a range of numbers (i.e. 17-20), in which case their owner chooses which value to play them as. They may also be represented as an X – in which case the value of X will be defined in the card (such as the number of cards you have in hand). For the purposes of play order, identical Initiative values may be treated as either higher or lower, but count as neither for the purposes of card effects (i.e. you could play a 15 Action in response to a 15 Turn Action, but 15 is neither higher or lower than another 15 for effects that check this)

When a player has no remaining deck to draw from and must draw a card, they shuffle their discard pile and use it as a new draw deck.

The aim of the game is to defeat an opponent's entire party. Most Party Members are defeated when their Damage exceeds their Life, but some may have effects that give additional or replacement defeat conditions.

When deckbuilding, you must choose a side of the alignment chart - Good, Lawful, Evil, or Chaotic. You may not include party members with the opposing side in their alignment - if your party is Good, you cannot have Evil party members, etc.

Keywords:

Able – When a card is Able, it can perform an action. Able is the opposite of Exhausted.

Block – A Block effect means that whenever a source would deal damage to a target with Block X, X of that damage is prevented.

Damage – When an effect deals damage to a target, put that many Damage counters on that target. If the target is a Party Member and the amount of Damage counters on it exceeds its life, that Party Member is defeated – its actions cannot be used and its effects are no longer in effect.

Exhaust, Exhausted – When a card has performed an action since the start of the round, it is considered “Exhausted”, which means it cannot perform another action this round. This may be represented by turning the card 90 degrees. When an effect exhausts a card, it becomes exhausted without performing an action. At the start of each round, all cards become Able (lose the exhausted condition) unless stated otherwise.

Life Counter – When a card has life counters on it, its life value is increased by the amount of life counters.

Shield Counter – When a card has shield counters on it, when a damage counter would be placed on it, that card's controller may instead remove a shield counter.

Unique – Unique cards are cards that depict a particular entity. Whenever a nontoken card shares a name (excluding anything after a comma) with a Unique card owned by the same player, the owner must destroy one of them immediately. Names changed by card effects do not cause this effect. Party Members are unique by default.
