Anime Cards
A card game of fandom
Throughout the Otaku underground there was a card game that was collectible and has arrived in the public eye thanks to the internet. It is developed by fans for the fans from its launch in 2003 and has gone constant play testing, development phases, and organized its expansions from its fandom community. If you never heard of it, there is a list of things that you may need to know if your an interested or new player that would be needed to dive into the game. What is Ani-Collision
At its core, Ani-Collision is a free-to-play card game available on the web, and is set within the universe of the Mulit-Series Universes of all the anime that exists if the community in the fanom works on it. Main core sets are generally modeled off of major storyline events from the series itself and is stretched for content with each expansion. The objective of a match is to bring an opponent's characters health to or below zero. Both the players characters and their opponent begin with their own points of life. All of the art is from the actual serieses themselves, and the game borrows some of the themes as well. A Character For Everyone
A player chooses one of a multitude of character's from a chosen Animanga series. For example, characters that have fighting in the series tend to have damage, characters that are from school settings in the series tend to have supportive elements, and so on. From there the players themselves can construct their decks with specific cards that are limited to the series itself. A fighting character may favor direct damage and dodging, wheres a student may favor healing and card control. The characters are symbolic of the characters in the series they are from. How To Play
A player creates a deck standardized with 30 cards, but some decks may allow for more. Players may have as many copies as it is limited to per card, but the standard amount is two. But cards that are characters there maybe only one copy of the card, it is indicated by its card color. The deck may seem small when compared to other Competitive Card Games, for example, but that is because players can have many ways to restock their deck and do not need to worry about involving luck in getting resources to play their cards. This is because, when the game begins the players have ratio-slots that they have available to them at character-select and may pick any number of characters that fits in the amount of ratio slots allotted. The standard is ten ratio slots per player, however in different modes of play this may be different, depending on the rule changes. After the player selects their character(s) each acquire a energy-crystal for each turn. This ensures that a player will never lose a game from a lack of resources to play their cards. Certain mechanics and abilities can hasten the accumulation of energy crystal, but the limit for max energy crystal is twenty. Card Types
There are seven types of cards in Ani-Collision: Character Cards, Ally cards, Events cards, Flash cards, Force Cards, Equipment Cards, and Location Cards. Allies are permanent units that enter and occupy the center of the battlefield and from there can be played to the left or right of existing Units. The board can only hold ten allies as a limit, so after that additional Ally cards can be played. Each Ally card has its energy-crystal cost listed in the middle-right side based on its ratio-number, its attack value in the lower left (fireball), and its health total in the lower right (heart). Ally damage is permanent and carries over each turn until destroyed, unless it is transformed, or is healed. Event Cards and Flash cards trigger a one-time effect or ability that is that is described in the text of a card. These cards expire immediately after use, but Force Cards are permanents on the field and can be used multiple times depending on the card. There are cards that can "Cancel" a event, flash, or force card, so watch out for those. Flash cards have a unique trigger effect, because it is a type of card that can be played on any player’s turn versus an event card that can only be played on a players given turn. Equipment are cards that can be equipped to, piloted by, or given to a character or ally that has its own health or durability value. Character cards have transformations and replace a characters previous-form entirely, so for example Base-Goku can transform into Super Saiyan Goku and it takes over the portrait, replaces the health total, and provides different abilities. Abilities
The abilities a character has is in the text box below the image and is different for each character, each form. It provides an ability that is character-specific, but there are usually cards that have a similar effect that other characters may use, but they are not usually as strong. When players are looking for options and they have left over energy crystals it is an option that is easy to use. Learning To Play The National Otaku Alliance has revamped the new player experience several times over the years. New players begin with options of starter-deck recommendations if they want a deck built by a veteran player, so they can concentrate more on the gameplay itself and getting comfortable with playing. Depending on the person they will keep track of their grade level, so they can face opponents of similar skill level, and for new players this is a great way to face only other new players or beginners along the way. |
