Common	-	2-3	-
Uncommon	-	3-4	-
Rare	-	4-5

💧 Water		Draw effects, card flow
🌬️ Air		Energy & speed, extra plays
🌍 Earth		Stability, stat stacking

Element Runs & Combos:

Mono-Element Run: Play 3+ cards of same Element → big Combo bonuses!
Rainbow Run: Play all 4 Elements → diversity bonuses!
Link + Element: Link cards reward matching Elements ("+6 if both Fire")

📊 THE 4 STATS

Stat	Icon	Meaning
Time	⏰	How long the action takes
Heart	❤️	Emotional investment
Spotlight	🔦	Public visibility
Connection	🤝	Social bonds created

⚠️ Stats DON'T score! They trigger Multiply & Combo bonuses.

📊 SCORING (Resolution Order)

Score = (Base − Sabotage + Bonuses) × Multipliers

#	Step	What Happens
1️⃣	Base Score	Sum Power of ALL played cards
2️⃣	Sabotage	Subtract armed Sabotage reductions
3️⃣	Stat Multipliers	Add (Stat Total × Multiplier)
4️⃣	Flat Bonuses	Combo ✨ Push ⬆️ Rally 📣
5️⃣	Hand Multipliers	"Double your score" effects
6️⃣	Minimum	Score cannot go below 0

⚠️ Stats don't score directly! Only Power counts for base. Stats trigger bonuses.

📋 WHAT COUNTS?

Thing	Counts For...
Power	✅ Base score (Action + Chaos)
Stats	✅ Multiply bonuses only
Energy	✅ Push bonuses only
Card Count	✅ Rally bonuses
Elements	✅ Combo conditions

⚡ IMMEDIATE EFFECTS (Chains)

These resolve RIGHT NOW on your turn:

Type	Immediate Effect
Link	Play extra Actions from hand!
Draw	Draw cards to hand
Energize	Gain energy immediately
Sabotage	Choose target NOW (locked!)

⚡ Chains are UNLIMITED! Link → Draw → Play → Link... keep going!

💢 SABOTAGE & 🛡️ CANCEL

Sabotage Lifecycle:

1. PLAYED → 2. ARMED → 3. CANCELLED? → 4. RESOLVED

⚠️ Cancel only on YOUR turn! If you pass then get Sabotaged, you're stuck!

Target chosen immediately when played (locked!)
Cancelled Sabotage = 0 Power, 0 effect
Cancel card still scores its Power

🔄 BETWEEN HANDS

Discard all played cards
Draw to 10 cards (choose Action or Chaos!)
Energy resets to 10
Winner goes first (disadvantage!)

Going first means others see your plays and react!

⚔️ SUDDEN DEATH (Tiebreaker)

Only tied players continue
Each gets +5 Energy
Draw to 10 cards (7A + 3C)
Coin flip (2p) or dice (3+p) for order
Play mini-hand until all pass
ADD new score to tied score
Still tied? Repeat!

⭐ 5 GOLDEN RULES
