Trails of Cold Steel - Blade|Blade II

A Tabletop Simulator deck version of the card game Blade and Blade II from the Trails of Cold Steel games.

To play the normal Blade game remove the Blast and Force cards, otherwise keep them for Blade II.

Note: As far as I know, the total number of cards in a Blade deck has never been specified, so I did my best to try and balance the decks as much as possible. Changes may be done if anyone feels it's still unbalanced.

Cards:
There are two types of cards in this game; Numbered and "effect" cards. Number value ranges from 1 to 7. There are initially two kinds of effect cards. Later in Blade II, two more are added. The cards are as following.

Bolt cards. Used to remove the last card placed by your opponents.

Mirror cards. It switches position of latest card placed on the field.

Blast Card. it allows the player to randomly remove one card from opponent's hand. This is added in Blade II

Force Card. This card doubles your latest total value. This is added in Blade II.

How to Play:
The goal of this game is to have total card value higher than your opponent by the endgame. One game uses only ten cards players draw from their respective deck beforehand.

To begin the game, both player draw one card from their deck and place it on the field. The player with the lower value has the first turn. Bolt, Mirror, Blast and Force placed on the field this way are treated as a value of 1.

The player has to make sure the card value surpasses the opponent's every turn. The process repeats until one player is unable to surpass opponent's card value or a player runs out of cards.

As a special rule, the number 1 card can be used to bring back the last card removed by Bolt.

When both players have an equal total value, the field is cleared and the turn is considered a draw. Both players then draw and play a card from their deck and continue as normal.

Effect cards can't be used last. When this happens, the player automatically loses the game.
