Beyblade Trading Card Game Dueling Basics The Beyblade TCG is a game of dueling Beyblades and it's up to your skill and strategy to help you win. Each player builds a deck of cards and starts the duel by putting down their Beyblade card and a stack of "Spin" cards. Then each player takes turns playin' cards, matching card colors to see who wins an attack, then matching card "Battle Edges" to do damage by removing cards from the other player's Spin cards. There's a "Basic" game mode which is simple enough for any player and is a great way to get started. The "Advanced" mode has a ton of extra card powers for advanced strategies and players.
Cool Features of the Beyblade Trading Card Game The Basic and Advanced game modes are a great way to make sure that everyone can play the game and still keep it interesting. There are also cool extras like decals for your cards, collectible foil cards and more. The best part of the game is the Battle Edge - each card has up to six symbols and matching them up against other cards lets you see if you win/lose/tie a challenge. It's a great way to make the game slightly random.
