THE DECK
Players share a common deck.

SETUP
Each player is dealt a hand of 7 cards.
The strangest player goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
Each turn is divided into 6 phases:
1. Regenerate Phase
2. Destiny Phase
3. Attack Phase
4. Birth Phase
5. Metamorphosis Phase 
6. Decay Phase

REGENERATE PHASE
Draw 2 cards. 
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.
Remove 1 Weakness token from every card that has 1 or more weakness tokens.

DESTINY PHASE
Destiny cards are played in this phase by you and your opponent.
Destiny cards are discarded at the end of this phase.

ATTACK PHASE
Each of your Biomechanoids may attack once on your turn in this phase.
Biomechanoids have an Attack & Defense value.
The attacking Biomechanoid does damage to your opponent equal to its attack value.
Your opponent may block a Biomechanoid with one of his own to prevent this damage. 
A Biomechanoid cannot attack or block if it has a Weakness token.
Compare the attack & defense values of the 2 Biomechanoids.
If the attack value of the attacker exceeds the defense value 
of the blocker, the blocker is destroyed.
If the attack value of the blocker exceeds the defense value 
of the attacker, the attacker is destroyed.
Players may play Action cards to alter the attack/defense values of target Biomechanoids.
The effects of Action cards only last till the end of the turn.
A Biomechanoid that attacks gets a Weakness token at the end of the phase.

BIRTH PHASE
You may put one Biomechanoid card into play.
A Biomechanoid is a creature.
Place the card face up in front of you.
The Biomechanoid stays in play until it is destroyed.
Some cards allow you to play additional Biomechanoids during this phase.
Any time a Biomechanoid’s Defense value is reduced to zero or less, it is destroyed.
You may also put one Location card or one Artifact card into play. 

METAMORPHOSIS PHASE
To a Biomechanoid you just put into play this turn, you may attach Feature cards.
Feature cards give a bonus to the attack & defense values of the Biomechanoid.
Some Feature cards give penalties. 
Your opponent may attach penalty Feature cards to your newly played Biomechanoid this phase.

DECAY PHASE
Max hand size is 7 cards.
Discard excess cards.
