Troubleshooting
Missing or damaged cards upon unboxing
Carefully check the packaging for any loose cards. If cards are genuinely missing or significantly damaged, retain your proof of purchase and contact the manufacturer's customer support for assistance or replacement.
Players disagree on a rule or card statistic
Refer to the included rulebook or the specific statistics printed on the cards for clarification. If the rulebook is unclear, agree on a house rule before continuing play to ensure fairness.
Cards are getting bent or worn quickly
Emphasize gentle handling during gameplay. Ensure cards are stored securely in their case when not in use, and avoid shuffling methods that put excessive stress on the card edges.
Game feels unbalanced, one player always wins
Encourage players to try different strategies, such as predicting opponents' strong categories or bluffing. For younger players, consider playing in teams or introducing a 'trading' phase before the game begins to balance card distributions.
