Watch this video for a complete walkthrough of the VCard Trading Card Game rules and gameplay.
Note: The tutorial video covers all updated rules and gameplay mechanics as of the latest version.
VCard is a tactical card game where players build a deck featuring their favorite VTubers. The first player to score 3 points by winning combat rounds will be the winner.
These cards feature a Power Level of 8 and come with unique abilities that offer strategic advantages. PL8 cards can be placed in both Active and Backstage positions. They can also evolve into higher Power Level cards.
With a Power Level of 9, these cards are evolutions of PL8 cards. Playing a PL9 card as an evolution allows you to draw 1 card. PL9 cards can only be played as evolutions.
The most powerful cards, with a Power Level of 10, these are evolutions of PL9 cards. Playing a PL10 card as an evolution allows you to draw 2 cards. PL10 cards can only be played as evolutions.
Mascot cards boost your Active VT's power by +1 PL if they match elements. If your Active VT also matches the Mascot, you get an additional +1 PL boost. Only one Mascot can be active at a time; playing a new one overwrites and discards the previous one.
Support cards come in three types:
These cards set the stage for every battle and apply effects to both players equally. Only one World can be active at a time; playing a new one will overwrite and discard the current World. Worlds may provide passive bonuses, elemental advantages, or unique field effects that influence how each round plays out.

If you don't have a PL8 VT card in your opening hand, reveal your hand, reshuffle, and draw 7 new cards. Repeat this process until you have at least one PL8 VT in your hand.
On your first turn:
Alternative: Discard 3 cards to draw 2 cards. If you do this, it's the only action you can take this turn.
You may also pass your turn without taking any action.
After each player takes 6 turns, combat begins:
In case of a tie, each player adds the same number of Backstage VT cards to their total, matching the lowest available count. For example, if one player has 3 Backstage VT's and the other has only 1, both players will add just 1 VT to their Power Level total.
If still tied, no point is awarded, and players move to the after combat phase.
If your deck is empty and you need to interact with it, -1 PL to all VT's on your board. Then, shuffle your discard pile back into your deck and resolve the effect.
The first player to score 3 points wins the game.
After each player takes 6 turns, compare the Power Level of each player's Active VT. The player with the higher Power Level wins combat and scores 1 point.
If a player's Active VT has an elemental advantage over the opponent's Active VT, it gains +1 PL. This is included in the total Power Level comparison.
If a player has no Active or Backstage VT available at the time of combat, that player automatically loses the combat and the opponent scores 1 point.
In case of a tie, each player adds the same number of Backstage VT cards to their total, matching the lowest available count. For example, if one player has 3 Backstage VTs and the other player has only 1, both players will add just 1 VT to their Power Level total.
If still tied, no point is awarded, and both players keep their active VT, but discard all buffs/debuffs on them.
The first player to score 3 points wins the game.

While a VTuber has a Bless token applied to them, that VTuber may trigger Invoke effects for 1 less Mana. Bless can stack, and is discarded when used.
While a VTuber has an Exalt token applied to them, that VTuber's Power Level is reduced by 1 when that VTuber moves board spots for each Exalt token applied to them.
This Effect returns the targeted VTuber to the owner's Deck.

Strong vs: Varies per card
This Effect triggers if the Player controls a Chaos VTuber on their left-most and right-most Backstage board spots.
While a VTuber has a Corrupt token applied to them, that Player's Active Mascot is Paired with that VTuber.
While a VTuber is on a Board Spot with a Fracture token, if that VTuber triggers an Invoke effect, that effect costs 1 additional Mana.
This Effect triggers at the start of the Opponent's next turn.

Each element has one specific element it is strong against. Divine is strong against Chaos, while Chaos varies per card. If a player's Active VT has an elemental advantage over the opponent's Active VT, it gains +1 PL.
Introduced with the Divine Chaos set, the Mana system is a shared resource mechanic used by both Divine and Chaos elements.
Generate - When a card with Generate triggers their Effect, that Player is given X Mana. Mana is spent to trigger Invoke effects and is discarded at the end of the Player's turn.
Invoke(X) - This Effect triggers when the Player spends X amount of Mana, where X is the required amount of Mana.
VT cards (PL8) can be placed in both the Active and Backstage positions. You can have 1 Active VT and up to 4 Backstage VTs at any time. If your Active spot is ever empty and you have a VT in Backstage, you must immediately move a Backstage VT into your Active spot.
The Active VT is not adjacent to any VT. Backstage VTs are adjacent to the VTs directly next to them. This is important for certain card effects that target adjacent VTs.
Swapping allows you to switch the position of two of your VTs. You can swap between:
Swap - Switch positions between two of your VTs (Backstage with Backstage or Backstage with Active)
Lock - Effect triggers when turned sideways. Unlocks after combat
Passive - Always active, triggered by another effect
Echo - Triggers when played and immediately after every combat.
Any "search deck" mechanic requires revealing the card you searched for and then reshuffling your deck afterwards. This applies to all deck searching effects.
If your deck is empty and you need to interact with it, all VTs on your board lose -1 PL. Then, shuffle your discard pile back into your deck and resolve the effect.
Flip a coin. On heads, the Crit succeeds, on tails, the Crit fails.
