In this Death Match, effectively manage your batteries to buy and use actions to reduce your opponent's core battery to 0.

Designer(s): Zero	Match Type: DM (for 2 players)
Featured in: Zero's Gauntlet

In this game each player controls 6 batteries with 20 levels of capacity. You win the game if you can reduce your opponents Core battery to 0.

The batteries are as follows, with starting and max capacity listed:

Core 20/20

Gold 10/20

Reserve 10/20

Red 10/20

Green 10/20

Blue 10/20

The Core battery is your health. If your Core battery hits 0, you lose the FM.

The Gold battery is your money. It can be spent to buy action cards.

The Reserve battery is your back up power. It can be distributed to the RGB batteries via actions.

The RGB batteries are your action batteries. They can be spent to perform certain actions.

Turns occur simultaneously, with a 150 second submission time.

Each turn you may perform up to 3 actions.

All actions that change your resources resolve first, then all actions that affect your opponent’s resources change second. You will not be prevented from performing an action because your opponent made your resources below the required amount. (But cannot use an action if you do not have enough before interference)

All your actions resolve in order. So you can use resources you gain from one action to fuel another action in the same round.

If you were to go below 0 capacity, it stops at 0 instead.

You cannot perform the same action more than once in a turn.

If both players reach 0 Core capacity in the same round, the player who would have went further into the negative loses.

If this is a tie, whoever has more total capacity wins. If this is a tie, the player with more items for this game wins.

If a submission is incomplete, or only partly valid when timer ends, I will take all valid cards starting from first given.

Submission may be changed until timer is up

You may not sell, downgrade or upgrade an action card in the same round you use it.

(You cant use a card and change/lose it, or gain a card and change/use it, in the same turn)

• You may also not buy it in the round you destroy it.

• You may not use an action card in the same round you acquire it.

• You may not sell, downgrade or upgrade an action card in the same round you use it.
