Game Setup

Both players should put (6) unique Health cards in a stack, face up. Shuffle the rest of the cards and place them in a stack, face down.

Starting the Game

Each player will take a card from the stack, whichever player selects the card with the longest vocabulary word will have the first turn.

Once the first turn is established, both players will draw 6 cards from the stack. 6 cards is the max standard hand size.

Gameplay

1. Before playing any card, a player must read the definition of the vocabulary word on the card. If their opponent correctly identifies the vocabulary word, their opponent immediately draws one card.
2. On the first turn, Player 1 will play an Attack card (if available) in the middle of the table. Player 2 will play a response card (if available). Player 1 will play a response card (if available). This will continue until one player is unable to play a response card. If Player 1 plays last in the sequence, the Attack succeeds. If Player 2 plays last, the Attack fails.
3. If an Attack is successful, the defender will have to discard their top Health card. The attacker will then either choose to play another Attack card (must discard one card first) or forfeit the rest of their turn to the opposing player.
4. The FIRST attack on a turn is free. Every subsequent attack on a turn will require the player to discard one card of their choice.
5. A player can draw up to max hand size if:
   • a) they lose a health card to an attack, or
   • b) at the START of a player’s turn.
   Players can always discard any unwanted cards before drawing to get up to their max hand size.
6. You can choose not to make an attack if you want to end your turn.

Winning the Game

A player wins the game if their opponent loses all of their Health cards.
