Yomi Starter-Set

Grave Versus Jaina

Yomi is set in the Fantasy Strike universe, the game mode is „Beat ´em up“, known from console games. Each fixed, unchangeable deck represents a fighter with special abilities; the starter set comes with Decks for Jaina Phoenix Archer and Grave Wind Warrior. A round comprises: I. Draw cards - you draw one card from your deck from round 2 on. II. Skirmish - comprises several individual steps, not every player resolves each step; both play a face-down combat action - Attack, Throw, Block or Dodge or Joker for Energy Boost; 2. Revealing cards and paying costs for Aces. 3. Determining the Winner - Attack causes damage, Throw wins against Block, Dodges or slow Throws; Block wins against Attack and Joker; Dodges win against Attacks and Jokers, tie with Blocks and Dodges and lose to Throws. Joker as an Energy Boost wins against Attack, Throw and other Jokers.  

If you lost the skirmish, you can play Joker Time Rewind or Bluff face-down; if you did win, you can play a Combo - Continue, Retaliate or Recharge. At the end of the skirmish, all cards used for it are discarded on your personal stack. III. Power-Up - you discard cards to take up in hand aces from your deck or discard pile. IV. Cleanup - cards over the limit of twelve cards in hand are discarded.

If someone is out of lives or would have to draw a card and and has none left in his deck, he loses instantly.

Yomi is a game that reveals itself better from game to game; the more often you play the more combinations and strategies you find in the decks; the Rock Paper Scissor mechanism at the core of the game provides surprisingly variable options and tactics.
