Gameplay

The game starts with a round of rock paper scissors to say who goes first. There are two card decks, the main deck which consists of 50 cards, and the soul deck. Souls are used to pay for cards in the main deck. Pals are the primary card types in the games, and represent the creatures in Palworld. Every turn, the player can put 2 soul cards from the soul deck on the base. Pals on each turn can attack other pals or structures, attack the opposing player, or stay to protect. Combat is based on the power, and stronger Pals will destroy weaker ones in combat. Each pal has a strike value. if attacked, a player can flip cards from the deck based on the strike value. If they manage to flip a lucky card, they avoid taking damage, otherwise, they take the damage. each player starts with 10 points and losing all points will lead to a game loss.

In addition to Pals, there are Event cards with a temporary effect, Gear cards that can buff pals or do one time effects, or Structure cards that can help the player if a Pal is assigned to one.
