FIRST TO THREE GEMS WINS

GEMS are won whenever you reduce a rival's active fighter's HP (the little heart) to 0. You get half a GEM card for defeating a rival's HERO and a full Gem Card for a MAGICAL GIRL.

STARTING THE GAME

1

Search through your deck and pick any 3 HERO cards (these will be part of your starting hand). Then shuffle the deck and draw four more cards. If you do not have a MAGICAL GIRL, shuffle those 4 cards back into your deck and redraw 4 new cards.

2

Lay one HERO of your choice and one MAGICAL GIRL of your choice face down onto the field in the ACTIVE POSITION. After you both have a pair in front of you, flip over your cards and the fight begins! Whoever goes first does not get to draw a card on this turn.

3

At the start of your turn draw one card from your deck (except for the first turn of the first player).

4

You can then do any 2 of these actions: Transform, Attack, Retreat, Draw, Play a Pet, Play a Magical Power, Grand Transformation.

5

Once you have done that, it is your rival's turn. Play until one of you has defeated enough of your rival's HEROES or MAGICAL GIRLS to acquire 3 FULL GEMS.

ACTIONS

FREE ACTION: It's a free ACTION to put a HERO from your hand onto your SQUAD or into the ACTIVE POSITION (as long as another HERO isn't there).
TRANSFORM: Attaching a MAGICAL GIRL onto either an active HERO or a SQUAD MEMBER. When you attach a MAGICAL GIRL to a HERO, their STATS combine!
GRAND TRANSFORMATION: Transform you MAGICAL GIRL into a GRAND MAGICAL GIRL. All their stats combine and MGK is reduced to 0. GRAND MAGICAL GIRLS can attack once (ATTACK action) and last until the beginning of your next turn. After that, any cards attached to that HERO go right in to the DREAMSCAPE. Be sure you meet the conditions on the card before you play it!
ATTACK: Spend 1 MGK from your ACTIVE FIGHTER to attack your rival's ACTIVE FIGHTER, reducing their HP.
RETREAT: Swap the ACTIVE FIGHTER on the field with one on the SQUAD. Any damage that fighter has taken with that fighter is healed.
DRAW CARD: Draw another card from your deck.
PLAY MAGICAL POWER: Spend the MGK cost on this card from your ACTIVE FIGHTER to activate it's effect.
SUMMON PET: PETS cost MGK to play, shown at the bottom right corner of the card, and last until either the MAGICAL GIRL they are attached to runs out of MGK or until the ACTIVE FIGHTER runs out of HP
PLAY EVENT: Can be played at ANY TIME to great effect (especially during your rival's turn). It does not cost an action to play an EVENT.

SPECIAL NOTES

1

HEROES and MAGICAL GIRLS: Whatever HP your HERO gains during the fight stays with the HERO. Let's say your HERO has already taken damage and TRANSFORMS; add the MAGICAL GIRL'S HP to whatever is left of the HERO'S HP.

2

If a MAGICAL GIRL'S MGK runs out before her HP, she is sent to the DREAMSCAPE and the HERO stays in play until they are defeated.

3

If you run out of HEROES, draw a card. Is it a HERO? If yes, play as normal. If not, put that card in your hand. If you continue to draw this way, draw until you have 4 cards. Any cards after send to the DREAMSCAPE. Continue this process until you draw a HERO card. If you completely run out of cards in your deck, YOU LOSE.
