At the start of the game, each player takes a buddy and flag from their deck and places them on the field, after that, each player draws 6 cards.

The first player doesn't draw on the first turn.

Each turn you can send one card from your hand to the gauge after which you draw an extra card from your deck.

After that comes the main phase in which you can call monsters and use effects. If you call monsters, you must make sure that the total combined number of your monster's size is not above 3, if you exceed it, you must retire monsters until you get to 3 or lower.

Next is the battle phase in which you can attack monsters or players (if a monster is in the center area, you cannot attack a player normally until you destroy that monster). You can also do a Link Attack. During the first turn, you can only declare one attack.

Last up is the Final Phase where you can activate Impact cards.

Note: cards with Counter can be activated during any player's turn at any time but if activated during a battle between two monsters, each player can only use 1 counter effect.
