Basic game mechanics (yeeess they exist)

So how do I even play this grand idea of a game you ask? Well you're in luck because I'm gonna explain it to you right now :-)


we start off with two opponents facing off against each other on each side of the field. they each have a lucid dream crystal which serves as their main card. It has a Mp (mind point) value and if that value hits 0 you lose the match. Mp is deducted in a number of ways mainly by being attacked by creatures

to protect yourself and your Mp you will have a deck of cards consisting of creatures, magical spells, dreamscape, and avatar cards which you will have to summon to protect you while trying to deplete your opponents Mp.

[LDC] Lucid dream crystal- here is where you place your Lucid dream crystal card, there are different kinds of these card each having various Mind point values and effects, they can not be changed mid battle and if the Mp value on the card hits 0 you lose

[NE] Neutral energy - needed in order to set color energy cards on the field as well as play certain magic cards and other creatures. Neutral energy is gathered by lucid dream crystals and are consumed when used

[CE] Color energy - energy needed to play creatures, avatars, and some magic cards. Color card come in red, blue, purple, yellow, green, white and black each color representing an element or emotion. Color energies are not consumed when used but instead put into an engaged position for the rest of a given turn not being usable until the next turn when it becomes  un engaged. To set one onto the field for use you must use Neutral energy.

[A] Avatar - are exceptionally powerful creatures that the player can transform into. When in play  creatures attack the avatar instead of the lucid dream crystal card preventing mp damage. when attacked directly avatars lose Neural link points. when neural link points hit 0 the avatar is destroyed and sent to the discard pile. Avatars have powerful abilities that either increase neural link points or decrease neural link points depending on the skill... The main downside, however, is that your opponent may have a transformation spell that will force you to take on an avatar they own that has abilities that will hurt you and your gameplay as well as cause you Mp damage. only one avatar can exist on one side of the field at a time.

[S] Spell cards - are cards that cause various effects on game play depending on the situation adversely affecting game play in a wide numbers of ways from summoning creatures to restoring mind points.... to activate you need a combination of neutral and color energy depending on the card

[C] Creatures - or others you summon into battle to do your bidding. each creature has it's own stats including attacks, toughness, orgasm tolerance and so on... they also have their own abilities which can turn the tide of battle.. they are summoned by using color energy and neutral energy

[D] Dreamscape -  are cards that have effects on the entire field. these effects can be accessed by either player as long as they met the conditions having positive or negative effects depending on the card. Only one dreamscape can exist on the field at one time. using a new dreamscape erases the old one...

OK sooo this took waay more text then i thought it would... so in order to save everyone's sanity i will stop here for now and continue another day explaining how the game work. if you are reading this please spread the word on Beyond Rem ...
