Geminoa Guide

1-2 players

Setup
-Each player takes a corresponding deck and player board along with a life stone and dice for
tracking their shield and mana attributes. The decks are identical except for character artwork.
-Begin the game with 20 life, 2 shield, and 0 mana. Shuffle your deck.
-The first player draws 3 cards, and the second draws five.

Card types
All cards are either Sword (red), Magic (blue), Support (green), or Summon (black) type as
indicated in the upper lefthand corner. Summon and magic cards may have costs listed below
their type. In order to use the card, you must reduce your mana by that amount.

Attacks and summons

There are two types of attacks in Geminoa. Physical attacks first reduce the opponent’s shield
then any remaining damage reduces their life. Magic attacks directly reduce the opponent’s life.

Summon cards are placed in the summon area when played and remain in play from turn to turn,
effects activating when their conditions are met.

Channeling and removal areas

Channelling allows cards to be kept permanently in your channeling area to perform effects
every turn by tapping (you must still pay mana costs). Summon cards cannot be channeled. You
may only have 1 channeled card for every 7 removed cards. Channeled cards are not considered
“in play”, but are still part of your play area.

Removal allows cards to be trashed from your deck into your removal area. Channeled cards
may be removed, but they will simply be turned face down in the channeling area without
opening up space for another channeled card.

On your turn (in order)

-Set your shield to 2.
-In any order and as many times as you would like:
● Play cards from your hand or tap cards in your channeling area to use their effects.
● Choose a card in your hand or play area and place it in your channeling area. If in play,
the channeled card enters your channeling area tapped.
-You may choose up to two cards in your hand and play area and remove them (on the first
player’s first turn, only 1 card may be removed during this step).
-Discard all cards in play and unused cards from your hand then draw five new cards, shuffling
your discard pile to create a new deck if needed. Untap your channeled cards. If there are no
cards remaining in your deck or discard pile after this step, your opponent loses 4 life.

Other details
If any cards have you refer to your deck and there aren’t enough cards there or the deck is empty,
finish revealing or drawing any remaining cards then shuffle your discard pile to create a new
deck and complete the action.

Both players discard piles are public information. Additionally, you may reference your own
deck. After checking your deck, reshuffle it. If a card had been specifically placed on top of the
deck due to a card effect, make sure to put it back in that spot.

Instant cards may be played normally during your own turn or during an opponent’s turn when
its conditions are met. They remain in play until your next discard phase.

The maximum value for life is 20. The maximum value for shield and mana is 9.

Game end
When a player reduces their opponent’s life to zero, they win the game.
