INTRODUCTION
Chinese Checkers Variant using cards!!!

PREFACE
You must first know how to play Chinese Checkers. 
A Chinese Checkers Set is required. 

VICTORY
Same as in regular Chinese Checkers. 
Get all your pegs to the opposite corner first.

THE DECK
Players share a common deck. 
There are 3 card types: 
Move Cards, Destiny Cards, and Special Cards. 
The cardset has 2 copies of each card in the card list. 
Move cards are used to make one or more pegs move in a way they don’t normally move. 
Destiny cards affect other cards, your hand, the deck, or your opponent’s hand. 
Special cards have unique timing issues or highly variable effects. 

TERMINOLGY
Peg – Synonym for Pawn, Man, Piece, Counter, Marble, Checker. 
Move – This can be a regular move or a card move. 
Regular Move – Either moving 1 space or Jumping as in the regular rules.
Walk – Moving 1 space (not jumping) as in the regular rules once. 
Card Move – Playing a Move card and moving a peg according to its directions.  
Route – All the Moves (Walks, jumps, and otherwise) a Peg makes during a single turn. 
Jump – In card text the term Jump always allows for multiple jumps if possible. 

SETUP
Each player is dealt a hand of 3 cards. 
The loser of the previous game goes first. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Each turn has 4 Phases: 
Fate Phase
Destiny Phase

If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.
