INTRODUCTION Basic War Variant rules for an existing CCG: Xia Lin Showdown. RULES Your basic 2 player game of War. Use a common deck of Xia Lin Showdown cards, shuffled, and divided in half. High card wins. Cards of equal strength (Tie) result in a War. Compare the values in the Hexagon, ignore the Circles. If the number in the hexagon has a plus after it, you may play an additional Card and add the values of the cards together. For Villain cards use the topmost hexagon. Master cards beat all other cards but tie with each other. DESIGNERS NOTES My 4 year old is a big fan of the card game “War”. He is also a big fan of the Xia Lin Showdown cartoon. However the CCG is too difficult for him and I personally Don’t like the mechanics, so we use the cards to play this War version. Plus I get to teach him some addition. This is one I’ve actually playtested.
