About Redakai Game:
SETUP
- Before battle, each player places one CHARACTER CARD in front of them.
- CHARACTER CARDS represent heroes and villains with the power to harness Kairu energy.
- Each of these cards has up to 3 different DEFENSE ZONES. Each DEFENSE ZONE has a number and color. Every card also has 3 DAMAGE ZONES.
- Each player also builds a deck of ATTACK CARDS and MONSTER CARDS. Basic Game decks can be anywhere from 10-40 cards. Shuffle the cards together to make a DECK.
- On each player’s turn they will draw the top card of their deck, then play that card immediately.
MONSTER CARDS
- When you draw a MONSTER CARD, put it on your own CHARACTER. They often increase your DEFENSE ZONES and sometimes can even heal DAMAGE ZONES that ATTACK CARDS have Hit.
ATTACK CARDS
- Play ATTACK CARDS on top of your opponent’s CHARACTER CARD, to deal damage in DAMAGE ZONES.
Abilities on your cards are not used in the Basic Game. Ignore the text in the Ability boxes on the bottom of CHARACTER CARDS.
If a player runs out of cards in his DRAW PILE and is unable to draw a card at the start of his turn, that player loses the game.
Give your kids the chance to battle it out with a fun game of Redakai. Watch as they marvel at the detailed card design and as they challenge themselves to a game of battle cards.
It took my kids and their cousins a little bit to figure out how to play (I think because they were so fascinated with the cards and who got which ones), but soon got the hang of it. The only problem was at the end of each game having them put the cards pack in a pile to start over. Each kid wanted to claim their own personal selection of cards.
