[Lesson 1: The Cards] [Lesson 2: Deck Construction/ Game Setup] [Lesson 3: Game Play] [Lesson 4: Scavenging] {Lesson 5: Combat}
These are my rules that I use when playing Animayhem. Sorry if it's kinda long, but hang in there.

Another cool thing: All the cards shown in the rules can be found in my animayhem fun cards section.

The main point of the game; The Anime world has gone crazy and Items have scatered all over the place. Now you gotta go scavenge and find those Item Cards.
The Cards

These are the Cards you use when you play. They can be classified into 6 Main groups.
Characters (Special Characters, Characters)
Disasters (Major, Minor, Combat, non-Combat)
Blue Cards (Enhancements, Flash, Global)
Item (These are the cards you want to get)
Equipment (Not to be confused with Items)
Combat Cards (These can really change who wins the battle)
Lesson 1: The Cards

This is the Character Card. This part is very important, because the character card has many things which all the other cards have so if you remember the stuff on this, you will know what it is on other cards too.
Character Rules/ Other info:
1 You can't have any doubles or different versions of one character in your deck (Example: You can't have 2 Goku's or Gohan and Young Gohan)
2 Your opponent can have the same character
3 In the beggining of the game you place four characters from your deck into your haven.
4. You can only have a total of Six characters on the table at a time. Characters in a Haven are not "on the table"
5. Chit Cards, which are tiny peices which have a picture of the character, are placed on a location to represent the character. This is usefull because in Animayhem the Location Cards get really close together. This isn't a have-to, it's more of a suggestion.
There are 9 main sections of the card, which are outlined in Red. Move your mouse over a section and click on it. A new window will pop-up describing that part.
So what the hell is a special character?
A Special Character is one that has a dark blackish- purple background. At least thats in Set 2. On my page Special characters have a blurred background.
Anyways Special character are Not put into play in the beggining of the game until their requirments are met.

This is a Disaster card. There are Three main types of disaster. Major, Minor and Combat.
If the Disaster is Major then that means you can fight it with Four people.
If the disaster is Minor then you can only fight it with three people.
A Combat disaster has the following Stats: Attack, Defense, Movement and, (This is not on all Combat Disasters) Charm or Energy
Disaster Rules
1 You can only have 3 of the same disaster unless it say's Unique. Whenever a card says Unique it means only one of that card is allowed per deck.
2Only 3 characters can fight against a minor combat disaster at a time
3 Only 4 characters can fight against a major combat disaster at a time
4 if a non-combat disaster has no affect on the game (Example: A disaster says to kill nearest character but there are no characters on the table) then discard the disaster.

A Disaster has 5 main parts:
They are pretty much the same as characters, with flavor text, text, abilities, name, pic, etc.

There are 3 types of 'blue cards' Note "Blue Cards" are also called "Power Cards"
(From Left to Right) Global, Flash and Enhancement.
Click on a card to go to a page about that card.
Power Card Rules
1 You can only have 3 of any one power card
2 Unique means only one can be in each deck.
