Rules
Core Rules - Setup, Turns, Combat, Winning
| Type | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mech | The body on the battlefield. Base AP/HP chassis + one class ability. |
| Character | The pilot. Small AP/HP bonus + one ability + a Bond Trait (Match bonus with the right Mech). |
| Wildcard | One-time interrupt effects, held in hand. Playable any time, even opponent's turn. |
| Dark Matter | Marker attached to a Mech at roster-build time. Grants a stat bonus and a penalty for the rest of the game. Not drafted turn-by-turn. |
| Arena | One revealed randomly at setup. Affects both players equally for the rest of the game. Not drafted, not held in hand. |
Any Character can pair with any Mech and grants its stat bonus + ability. If the Character's Bond Trait matches the Mech, that's a MATCH. MATCH bonus: +1 AP and +1 HP for the pairing.
Roster size: each player brings 1 Main character, 4 Sub Heroes, and 5 Mechs, pairing Characters to Mechs for combat. A Mech may carry 1 Main Pilot + 1 optional Co-Pilot, stacking both bonuses onto one unit (fewer, tougher pairings vs. more spread-out bodies on the board). Sub Heroes carry smaller stat bonuses and utility-focused abilities.
All cards are drafted FACE-UP from shared pools - nobody draws blind. This game has no draw step after setup, so a blind hand could leave a player with zero Mechs or zero Characters. An open draft makes that impossible.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Main | Each player picks 1 Character from the Main-eligible pool. |
| 2. Sub Heroes | Draft 4 more Characters each from the Sub Hero pool. |
| 3. Mechs | Draft 5 Mechs each from the Mech pool. |
| 4. Wildcards | Draft 3 Wildcards each from the Wildcard pool. |
| 5. Assign | Pair each Character to a Mech (optionally stack a Co-Pilot). |
Snake Draft: within each of the steps above, pick order alternates A-B-B-A between two players, so nobody picks twice in a row.
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Activate | Choose one of your paired units as your main actor for the turn. |
| 2. Free Action (optional) | Once per turn: use Transport (move a Co-Pilot to a different surviving Mech, or bring a reserve pilot aboard as Co-Pilot, swapping out its current Co-Pilot if it has one), OR play 1 Wildcard proactively. Doesn't use up your main action. |
| 3. Act | Attack an enemy unit, OR use its ability (not both). Card-text exceptions like Multi-Fire override this. |
| 4. Resolve | Apply damage/effects, then pass turn to opponent. |
Paired Mech + Character stats add together into ONE total AP/HP per unit (Mech base + Pilot bonus + optional Co-Pilot bonus). Attacker deals damage equal to total AP to the target's total HP.
Retaliation: unless the attack destroys the target first, the defender deals its full AP back to the attacker, simultaneously. Strike First units bypass retaliation if their attack destroys the target outright. A unit destroyed at 0 HP is removed along with its full pairing.
When a Mech hits 0 HP, its Main Pilot ejects to reserve instead of being removed with it. Later, using Transport, an ejected pilot may re-board a surviving allied Mech as Co-Pilot. Co-Pilots do not eject when their Mech is destroyed. No Redemption pilots cannot eject.
Reduce all of the opponent's paired Mechs to 0 HP. Last player standing wins.
Card Systems - Classes, Dark Matter, Wildcards
| Class | Traits | Stat Bonus | Ability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero | Courage / Team Building | +1 AP / +2 HP | Rally - Once per game, if this unit would be destroyed, it survives with 1 HP instead. |
| Leader | Ambition / Experience | +1 AP / +1 HP | Experience - Gains +1 AP permanently each time it destroys an enemy unit. |
| Brute | Luck / Diversity | Variable | Wild Card - At the start of each combat, flip a coin: Heads = +2 AP this fight, Tails = +2 HP this fight. |
| Gunner | Accuracy / Focus | +2 AP / +0 HP | Focus Fire - Attacks ignore Tank Mechs' damage reduction. |
| Sworder | Cutting / Slicing | +1 AP / +1 HP | Leak - When this unit deals damage, the target also loses 1 HP at the start of its controller's next turn. |
| Class | AP | HP | Ability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fast | 4 | 3 | Strike First - deals damage before enemy retaliates. |
| Tank | 2 | 8 | Armor - reduce all incoming damage by 1. Guard: once per round, when an allied unit is attacked, a Tank may become the target instead. |
| Arsenal | 3 | 5 | Multi-Fire - once per turn, second attack at -1 AP. |
| Stable | 3 | 6 | Steady - immune to negative status effects. |
| Elemental | 3 | 5 | Infused - on hit, apply Burn (1 dmg next turn), Freeze (target skips its next action), or Corrode (-1 AP next turn). |
MAIN PILOTS carry the full class stat bonus and signature class ability. SUB HEROES: smaller stat bonus, utility-focused abilities. CO-PILOT SLOT: a Mech may carry 1 Main Pilot + 1 optional Co-Pilot, stacking both bonuses onto one unit (fewer, tougher pairings vs. more spread-out bodies on the board).
| Sub Hero Ability | Effect |
|---|---|
| Steady Hand (Hero Sub) | [RECONSTRUCTED] Once per game, prevent 1 damage to an allied unit. |
| Quick Study (Leader Sub) | [RECONSTRUCTED] The first time an allied unit destroys an enemy, this unit gains +1 AP for the rest of the game. |
| Coin Toss (Brute Sub) | [RECONSTRUCTED] Once per game, flip a coin: Heads = +1 AP this turn, Tails = +1 HP this turn. |
| Steady Aim (Gunner Sub) | This unit's attacks ignore 1 point of damage reduction. |
| Gusher (Sworder Sub) | Once per turn, when this unit deals damage, the target loses 1 additional HP. |
Steady Hand, Quick Study, and Coin Toss were not recoverable verbatim and are faithful reconstructions of their class themes - review and adjust to taste.
At roster-build time, ANY Character or Mech can be corrupted into Dark Matter. Corrupting a card means taking 1 Gain + 1 Penalty together - a trade, not a pure downside. Maximum 2 Dark Matter cards per roster.
| Element | Details |
|---|---|
| GAIN (pick 1) | Dark Energy - +2 AP (flat), OR My Shadow - ability numbers all +1 |
| PENALTY (pick 1) | Fragile Core (-2 HP max) / No Redemption (removed forever if destroyed, Rally/revival can't target it) / Isolated (no Team Building benefit) / Possession (once per game, its controller must redirect its next attack to a target of your choosing) |
| Display | 6 physical Marker cards (2 Gain, 4 Penalty) slide behind any Standard card being corrupted - no need to reprint every card twice. |
Worked example - Bowler (Tank, 2 AP / 8 HP) corrupted with Dark Energy (Gain) and Fragile Core (Penalty): 4 AP / 6 HP. Doubled its offense, gave up a quarter of its health - a real trade-off, not a pure downgrade.
A third card type. Play at ANY time - interrupt, or as your Free Action on your own turn. Each player drafts 3 into their hand at setup. Single use, discard after playing.
| Wildcard | Effect |
|---|---|
| True Grit | This unit deals double damage on its next attack. |
| Fearless Heart | Nullify all damage from one attack. (One time only.) |
| Second Wind | One of your units recovers 3 HP. |
| Overclock | One of your units gets +3 AP until end of turn. |
| Shield Wall | Reduce incoming damage from one attack by 2. |
| Ambush | Interrupt: attack an enemy unit out of turn order. (Once per game.) |
| Sabotage | Target enemy unit gets -2 AP until end of turn. |
| Last Stand | If this unit would be destroyed this turn, it still deals its damage before being removed. |
| Second Chance | Return one destroyed unit from your trash to the field with 1 HP. (Once per game.) Cannot target a No Redemption unit. |
Revival effects (Rally + Second Chance) are the only two - this is why No Redemption specifically blocks both: a corrupted card can't be saved by either path back. True Grit, Fearless Heart, Second Wind, Overclock, Shield Wall, Last Stand, and Second Chance are Gain-type (help your own side); Ambush and Sabotage are Disrupt-type (hinder the opponent).
Wildcard Priority: if both players interrupt on the same action, resolve the last one played first (LIFO).
A fifth card type. One Arena card is revealed randomly at setup and affects both players equally for the rest of the game. Not drafted, not held in hand. Either player may shuffle and reveal it - since the result is random, it doesn't matter who does it.
| Arena Card | Effect |
|---|---|
| Asteroid Clusters | Fast Mechs get -1 AP for the rest of the game. |
| Darkest Nebula | Dark Matter Penalties are suspended. Gains remain active. |
| Satellite Field | Each player gets 2 Free Actions per turn instead of 1. |
| Ionic Storms | Each unit's ability is locked on its first activation. |
| Monster Graveyard | Second Chance and Rally may each be used twice per game instead of once. |
| Normal Space | No effect. The battlefield is stable this game. |
By mutual agreement before the draft, players may choose to skip Arena entirely for that game.

Coming in V2
Co-Op Boss Assault ships as Expansion 1.
2-4 players team up against a shared Monster. No draft, no deckbuilding - pick a pre-built Squad and a Monster, then play. The Monster runs entirely on a 6-card flip Action Deck (8 for Gris).
| Element | Rule |
|---|---|
| Players | 2-4, each picks a different pre-built Squad (no assembly). |
| Monster | Choose 1 of 5 (Strength, Speed, Magic, Madness, Forever) - each has its own HP/AP/Action Deck. |
| Turn Order | Each player takes a full turn (same Turn Structure as PvP: Activate, Free Action, Act, Resolve), then the Monster Turn happens - flip the top card of the Action Deck, resolve, discard. |
| Phase 1 | 100%-50% Monster HP: flip 1 Action per turn. |
| Phase 2 (Enrage) | 50%-0% Monster HP: flip 2 Actions per turn, AP rises (varies by Monster). |
| Win | The chosen Monster's HP hits 0. |
| Lose | Every player's Squad is fully destroyed. |
Wildcards and Dark Matter Markers are both PvP-only - Squads don't include them, keeping Co-Op setup at zero.
Optional variant: if both units attack each other directly (a trade), damage can be simultaneous instead of one-sided - adds risk, not part of the base rules.
