Original Announcement Date: March 7, 2024
Game Rules Update
The following are rules changes to the Neopets Battledome Trading Card Game and will be included with the release of the comprehensive rulebook. These updates adapt the rules to streamline gameplay in a way that just makes sense, these improvements are intended to increase the quality of life in your games with future releases.
Codestones
Codestone are now part of your Neopet. They are no longer considered to be “in play” nor “in the Battledome.”
Play Area
The Play Area is no longer considered a zone in the Battledome. It is now a special zone meant for unique game mechanics such as Map Pieces or Locations
Conditions and Required Resources
Effects that would have a player interact with a specific quantity of resources as part of its resolution no longer require that player have at least the quantity stated. Effects with additional costs or an “if, then” clause of a specific quantity of resources are still mandatory.
Food
Game rule for Food now reads “Whenever a Food card resolves, it is sent to the Void.”
Jhudora
Updated text for Jhudora (Faerie) now reads “When a card played this way would be sent to the discard, send it to the Void instead.”
Closing thoughts
As mentioned above these changes are intended to improve player experience, we are actively looking over player feedback and will monitor how these changes impact player experience. You can find the comprehensive rule book over at Neopets Battledome Comprehensive Rules. If you have any specific questions about how specific card interactions work feel free to join the conversation over on our official Discord linked below. Our next Banned and Limited announcement will be on March 21st. Until then, may all your rolls be Critical Successes!
