Collecting & Trading

Collecting cards, assembling decks, and trading with other players is a huge part of playing R&R. Knowing how to put together the right deck for the right opponent will help maintain an enviable win / loss record.

Definitions

Inventory: All of the cards you possess

Deck: A subset of cards you assemble to take into battle. You can have any number of cards in your deck. Pick too few and you will run out before the end of a fight. Too many and you will reduce the odds of your most powerful cards turning up.

Hand: The seven cards drawn from the deck during each round of combat. You play attack, defense, and modifier cards from your hand each round.

Storage Row: Seven slots in which you can store defense and modifier cards from your hand for use during future turns

Newbie Decks

Your new characters begin the game with a standard set of 40 cards. You can't trade cards from your newbie deck.

Trading, Winning, and Purchasing Cards

You can expand and customize your character's card inventory through purchasing, winning, and trading cards. You can purchase credits from the R&R web site that let you pick from a variety of virtual packs - packs containing a random assortment of cards selected from within pre-set categories. You can also win cards by doing well in tournaments. Finally, trading cards with other players in order to maximize potential mana cost, skill-, and species-based bonuses will go a long way toward increasing the depth and quality of your decks.

Card Packs

Once you buy credits through the web site you can enter the game and use those credits to get new packs of cards to boost the power of your decks.
