PART B: DIGIMON CARD GAME

1. How to play

  • Win by reducing the opponent's security stack to 0 and then hitting them with a successful attack that is not blocked, so they have no security cards left to reveal. [GUIDE: search snippet; background knowledge]
  • Deck = exactly 50 cards, max 4 copies per card number. The separate Digi-Egg deck holds 0 to 5 cards. [GUIDE, quoted from rulebook summaries]
  • Setup: draw 5 cards, place 5 cards from the top of your main deck face-down as your security stack. [GUIDE]
  • One memory gauge is shared by both players. You pay card costs by moving the gauge toward your opponent's side. [GUIDE]
  • When your memory would go past 10 on the opponent's side, your turn ends and the gauge sets to 3 on their side. This is background knowledge, not verified.
  • Turn: Unsuspend (stand), Draw, Breeding phase (hatch a Digi-Egg or move to the battle area), Main phase (play, digivolve, use effects, attack). [Background knowledge, not verified]
  • Card types: Digi-Egg, Digimon, Tamer, Option. Digimon digivolve onto lower-level Digimon to gain stats and effects. [Background knowledge]
  • Combat: suspend a Digimon to attack. If the target is a Digimon, compare DP. If the attack hits the player, the top security card is revealed and checked, then a security battle happens. [Background knowledge]
  • Resources: memory (shared), hand, security stack, the digivolution stack, and breeding area.
  • Beginner tip: play starter decks first and check the official rule PDFs (hk.digimoncard.com general_rule.pdf; digimoncard.io manual). [Sources found, contents not read]
  • Worldwide Unification from April 2025 aligns the game across English, Japanese and Asian markets. [GUIDE: esports.net / world.digimoncard.com snippet]

2. Languages available

  • Japanese, English and Asia-region editions exist. "Worldwide Unification" since Apr 2025 standardizes the game across regions, including the English, Japanese and Asian markets. [GUIDE]
  • Official world site: world.digimoncard.com; a Hong Kong site hosts the rules PDF (hk.digimoncard.com). [Seen in results]
  • Specific Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese print runs: not verified this session. [UNVERIFIED]
  • Region differences in release timing and card pools: not verified. [GAP]

3. Pricing
