Universal Fighting System - Card Types

Card Types

The Universal Fighting System has five different types of cards:

  • Characters – A card which represents the combatant whose role the player is currently assuming. Character cards contain information about the character's hand size, special abilities, symbols/alignment, and starting vitality.
  • Attacks – Orange-bordered cards which represent attempts to directly inflict damage on an opponent. Successful attacks that deal damage are added to one's momentum, which helps towards enhancing certain attacks and other cards.
  • Actions – Blue-bordered cards played from the hand which allow the character to perform some non-attack action or maneuver.
  • Foundations – Grey-bordered cards which signify intensive training and reserves of inner strength upon which a character can draw to power attacks or abilities.
  • Assets – Green-bordered cards which represent places or objects which are in play.

There are also split cards, which have two types and two possible effects. When the card is played, the player must decide which type the card will be.

Famous quotes containing the words card and/or types:

    I must save this government if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do; but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
