How to play My Little Pony TCG
A collectible card game by Kayou for two players, ages 10+. Below: the rules in five minutes and the publisher's full rulebook.
In short
Four things before your first game
Harmony Power
You pay for cards with Harmony Power by exhausting (turning sideways) as many scene cards as the card costs. You add a new scene at the start of each turn, so every turn you can afford more.
Clash
Characters stand in 3 columns. When two characters face each other, the one with lower inspiration leaves. A character with no opponent lets you advance your story or foil your rival's plan.
Victory
You win when your main character reaches the final stage of the story, or when your opponent has to draw a card from an empty main deck.
Setup
- Each player shuffles their main deck and scene deck separately.
- Place your main character card in the play area and the 4 story cards next to it in order, starting from stage one.
- Pick the first player at random. Everyone draws 5 cards and may mulligan once: put the hand under the deck and draw 5 new cards.
- Place the top card of your main deck face down on each story card - these are your plan cards.
- The first player puts the top scene face down, the second player face up. The first player starts.
Turn structure
- Start phase. Ready your exhausted cards, draw a card (the first player skips this on turn one) and add a face-up scene from the scene deck.
- Main phase. Play cards from your hand by paying Harmony Power and activate Adventure effects of characters in the adventure area, in any order and as often as you like.
- Clash phase. Resolve the 3 columns one by one, starting from the first player's left. This phase is skipped in the first 2 turns of the game.
- End phase. If you hold more than 10 cards, discard down to 10.
