The Broken SealTM represents the inaugural release of the PK Cards game – the beginning of the story. It is a trading card game, which makes it different from other games in significant ways:
First, the cards in a trading card game can sometimes exceed the game’s basic rules. Remember: the card is always right. This means you should follow the card’s rules even if they disagree with other game rules.
Second, you choose the cards you wish to put into your deck. You choose your avatar, the troops that follow him into battle, what magics he will wield and which mythical totems he will possess. You control the composition of your deck!
Object of the Game
The object of the game is to win seven prestige points by defeating your opponents before they are able to defeat you. Your avatar serves as your general, summoning his forces into battle, girding them with equipment and magic spells and using their strengths to defeat your opponent’s followers. If your strategy is successful, then you will be victorious.
What’s in a Core Deck?
The Broken Seal offers a player four core decks: Red, Yellow, Grey and Blue. Each core deck includes:
- A pre-constructed deck of seventy-five cards: 50 common, 18 uncommon and 7 rare. This deck includes the two avatar cards whose images are depicted on the box cover and is designed for play with either of them.
- One Gold Key on a card in the seventy-five card pack. Enter your Gold Key at www.pkcards.com to unlock Gold Points and win prizes!
- A game mat with card outlines to help you learn the game setup.
- A rules manual, containing everything you need to know to play PK Cards.
Deck Building
In a trading card game you can choose which cards to include in your deck. PK Cards Core Decks are designed to complement either of the avatars they contain. However, once you are comfortable with the game you may choose to substitute or add cards to make a deck uniquely your own.
Future PK Cards sets will include new avatars, powers, influences and troops; the new troops will possess yet unheralded abilities. You will be able to build new decks with these cards or use them in your current decks, but the rules for building your deck will remain constant:
- You must have exactly one avatar.
- You must have at least seventy cards in your deck, including your avatar.
- You may have no more than three copies of any individual card in your deck.
