Can some one make a VERY detailed explation of the Plus rule?
Cause I don't under stand clearly since some how a card with 3,3 placed to both threes are against 8s with the Plus rule in play, some how the 3,3 beats both 8s by adding up to 6?? I am very confused by how that would even work

Basically the numbers that match up have to add up to the same number. Like in your situation lets use the 3/3 in the top left corner of your card, if you placed it next to a 8/8 on the bottom and left, they both add up to 11 and both flip. Plus adds the numbers on the side and top or bottom, if they add up to the same sum, they flip.

IE lets use the card A top B Right C Left D Bottom.

A-4
B-3
C-2
D-4


Now given this we have a top left coner 4/3

So if a 3 is at the top and a 4 is on the side with the 3, those 2 cards flip.
Same with sides.

3
|
A4--------B3---------4

Both flip

So we have sides 3/2 if you had a 3 next to yout 3 and a 4 next to your 2 they both will flip

4-----C2-------B3--------3
Both Flip

I tried to simplify it

That helps more then the in game to me

So since the the card was A3 C3 and the cards its was facing were 8s on the sides that matched the 3s and 3+8 adds to 11 which is bigger then 8 they flip??

"Plus - When a card is placed, if the numbers of the placed card and two or more adjacent cards add up to the same amount, these cards will all be captured."

(In these examples the numbers go clockwise, so the first number will be the top one, the second number the right one, etc)

So, for example you place the Bite Bug card (1335) in the middle spot between Turtapod on the right (2367) and Gesper on the left (1541).

The right hand number of the Bite Bug card (3) adds to the left hand number of the Turtapod card (7) and totals 10. The left hand number of the Bite Bug card (5) adds to the right hand number of the Gespar card (5) and also totals 10.

Because both sides add up to the same amount, both cards will be flipped. If I understood you correctly.

Also, whenever Plus activates, it will cause Combo if the flipped cards win other adjacent cards in a basic number comparison. So, if a card gets flipped by Plus and is connected to another enemy card, the connected card also flips if its connecting number is less than that of the flipped card. If Combo occurs, it may spread even further if the Comboed card wins over other adjacent cards.

IDK its all a little confusing I think I get the rule better now still confusing a bit though

So No... I still don't understand the plus rule... can any one make this rule unstandable even ever page I read on Google makes it more confusing. Screen shots and a drawing would be best something that can really establish how it works

- press ctrl+f
- search for: {TTC-1} The Card Game & Rules
- scroll a little bit down then until you've found the explanation of the Plus rule.

It gives you a visualization and some text next to it of how it works. It's easy to understand.

Edit: got beaten to it. :) His link is easy enough to understand as well.

Yes THAT is what I been looking for... Still the game plays the cards so fast sometimes its hard to see it actually adds right and then of course often the AI does it and gets a whole board Combo... >.> Sad thing is I probably passed over that link when I was looking on google v_v

Plus is the reason why you should have the rule Open spread in every region. It's because you can (hopefully) prepare yourself for those kind of things.
