What the game's all about
The idea behind Young Jedi and most games like it is that there's a whole 'universe'
of cards to collect. When you play, you choose from all the cards you have, "customizing"
your deck based on the strategy you think will work best! You can play a different
deck every time. So it never has to be the same game twice!
Young Jedi is kind of like playing chess, because it's strategic one-to-one battle.
But it's different, because each time you play, you get to choose how many Queens,
Rooks, Knights and Pawns you want fighting for you!
Here are rules explained for both the basic twenty card demonstration game and
for do you need to know above and beyond the 20-card deck game rules that you
were taught at the demonstration?
Demonstration Deck Standard Rules
If someone taught you a 20 card one-planet game (or even a 30 card one-planet
game straight from the Starter Deck) you should have a reasonable understanding
of the basic rules, but you can review them here.
