The core of the game system is based on a special set of cards the players use to make their moves. The cards show 3 numbers, a picture and some stars (up to three). The numbers represent, from top to bottom, Combat Points, Movement Points and Production Points and their sum is always 7. This means that if you played a card with a high Combat Points value you won't have many Movement or Production points for that turn. So you always need to make a choice and find the best balance between this 3 important factors.
There are 15 combinations repeated three times for a total of 45 cards. On each card there is also an illustration that shows a character or a device indicating which special ability the player may use during his turn.
At the beginning of every game round, the players choose secretly one of the cards in their hand and place it face down. When all the players have made their choice the cards are reveled. The player who played the card with the most Combat Point will be the first in turn, followed by the other in descending order (this means that every game round can have a different playing order). In case of a tie the Movement Points are taken into account and in case of another tie the one with more stars goes first.
As in all the turn based games, being the first can be an advantage, at least sometimes. In this game the playing order changes every round and the players have some sort of control on the game flow. Another important rule is that you don't draw from the deck after playing a card. If you want to refill your hand (up to 5 cards) you must "pay" fo them, using your Production Points (1 PP for every card).
Again, you are in full control of your strategy. A full hand of cards means more options, but 5 cards are worth 5 Production Points, that is a Tank and Fighter less to be placed on the battlefield. You can also choose to have no more cards, but in this case you will draw and play accepting what the luck will choose for you.
