Creature cards are your means to stike at the enemy.

Creature Cards

Creature cards are the warriors of the TCG, which you play during the "Set" phase at the cost of Coins generated from your Inventory and then use to attack during the "Go" phase. They have several components worth noting.

The top left corner shows the Coin cost to summon the Creature. The name appears at the top. The element family of the Creature is displayed in the top right.

Attack and defense appear on the left side of the card. The attack power is in the starburst and defense is in the shield. Any time one Creature attacks another, these statistics come into play.

The center of the card features the illustration and the bottom of the card explains any special abilities and power-ups the creature might have. The very bottom of the card also displays the number and types of Gems associated with the card. Gems are important during battles because that can add to your attack or defense power and change the outcome of a fight.

One special type of Creature card is a hero. Hero cards always come with special abilities that affect all cards or activate under certain conditions. Heroes are usually very strong and cost a lot of Coins to summon, but their special abilities add a significant benefit to the player.
