Charge & Spark

In Charge & Spark, you and your opponent will try to reduce each others health to 0 or be the first to reach the goal space in the center of the board. Since there are two potential objectives, you must consider your opponents position and work to counter their dominant strategythey might slip right past you if you arent careful!

In this game, players select a card to play for the turn and reveal them simultaneously. Certain cards have effects that cancel each other (Barrier reducing damage taken, Trap or dealing damage preventing Move, Counter reflecting damage, etc.), so it is important to consider what resources your opponent has at their disposal on any given turn. After paying the associated cost (if applicable) and resolving the card effects for the turn, used cards are placed into each players recharge area. If there is a card already in the recharge area at this time, it returns to each players hand. By looking at the card in your opponents recharge area, you will have a better idea of what they might do next.

The game proceeds as above until one players health tokens run out or one player reaches the goal space in the middle of the center board.
