Welcome to Blitzkrieg, a battle royal solitaire game, best entertainment of the 21 century, 2029! Your goal is to survive 6 arenas, going from one to another, traversing a large map of the unnamed city ruins and be the one who made the most eliminations and scored the most points. This is a solitaire card game

compacted in one deck of 54 cards that can be played under 1 h.

GAME OBJECTIVE and GAME DIFICULTY

To win the game you must score enough points and survive all 6 Arenas. If you are playing an easy game you must score at least 70 points and you can start the game with one weapon. Medium game difficulty demands that you score at least 80 points and you may choose to start with one weapon. Hard game is only for the veterans of this sport, you must score at least 90 points and if you are true warrior you will not take one weapon at the beginning of the game.

GAME SETUP

To setup the game, shuffle 48 Blitzkrieg cards and place them face down in the center of your play area, use space to the right of the deck as your discard

pile. Then draw 3 cards from the top of the Blitzkrieg deck, keeping them face down and unrevealed, and place them somewhere near as these cards will represent your ’lives’. Therefore, you start with 3 lives for the whole game and you can’t increase that number beyond 3 cards.

After that draw one card from the Blitzkrieg deck into your hand as your starting weapon. If you prefer more realistic Battle royal experience, you may skip this part and start with no weapons at all! We recommend this only if you are veteran of the sport. Next thing you need to do is to shuffle Arena deck and draw 3 cards from it, you need to choose your ‘drop point’. Basically, out of 3 cards you drew, you can

ARENA CARDS (6 of them)

BLITZKRIEG CARDS (48 of them)

POISON GAS CARD (only one)

Choose your starting Arena. After picking one card to keep, shuffle other two back into the Arena deck. Place your starting Arena card above the Blitzkrieg deck and set the Poison gas on the left side of the chosen Arena card. Keep the Arena deck close by as you’ll need it later.

GAME TURN and ACTIONS

Each turn in Blitzkrieg starts by drawing 3 cards from the Blitzkrieg deck face down on the table. Then, you can always flip one card face up and choose one out of three actions: ENGAGE, LOOT or MOVE. You can’t do the same action twice (unless some card effects allows it) and you must do and resolve all three actions during your turn. After you finish your actions, you will go to the next turn, again drawing 3 cards and continue with your actions until you either deplete the deck or have to move to next Arena.

MOVE ACTION
After flipping one of the cards from your queue, you my decide to resolve card event by using a MOVE action. If you do, first resolve the text, then discard the card you performed action on. Events can give you additional actions, shuffle cards from the discard pile back into the Blitzkrieg deck and other way around or end your fight in the current arena and give you an option to move to the next one. After resolving the card event, check if the card hasPoison Gas icon, if it has you will have to move the Poison Gas card.

LOOT ACTION
Always remember that you can flip one of the cards from your queue before resolving an action. In case of looting, you add that card to your had as your weapon.You can’t carry more than 4 weapons (unless some Arena effects change that rule) and you can carry duplicates of the same weapon.

ENGAGE ACTION
After flipping one of the cards from your queue, you my decide to engage the target. First, choose which weapon from your arsenal you want to use. All targets have Strength and Range on which you’re engaging them. To kill the target you need to deal damage with your weapon that is equal or higher then their Strength. As every weapon has different damage depending on the range you’re firing at, split into three brackets x/y/z, which represents how much damage that weapon deals on CR, MR and LR (Close Range, Middle Range and Long Range), you want to use the weapon that can deal the most damage to a target on that range.
Example:
If you’re engaging a target with Strength 5 in MR range with a Pistol that has 3/3/1 damage, you are using a middle number (3) against its 5 strength!

To resolve the engagement, you always draw a card from the Blitzkrieg deck and check the Bonus Damage numbers. You add the bonus depending on the range on which you use the weapon and that represents your final damage that is dealt to the target. If you kill the target, add it to your set (you can keep the track of your killed and eliminated targets somewhere on the table).

WHAT IS ELIMINATION and HOW TO SCORE POINTS

If player manages to kill the same target twice (he adds a second card of the same target into his set) that is called an ELIMINATION. After he moves to another Arena, he can choose which one of two target cards to keep as his points. Points are the Strength of the card. If he manages to kill the same target multiple times during a fight in one Arena, he can choose to keep more cards thus gaining more points. One killed card must always be returned to the Blitzkrieg deck after player moves to next Arena. This means that if he manages to kill same target three times, he can keep 2 cards and return one, and if he manages to kill same target 4 times, he can keep 3 cards and return 1. You can’t take all 4 cards of the same target.In any case, there are 10 contenders in this Battle Royal and each of them has 4 cards of his/her type. Contenders are listed by their nicknames and they are:
Bravo, Doctor, Goliath, Natasha, Noir, Pink, Ranger, Skull, Snake and ZR99.

GAME END

If you lose all 3 lives you are eliminated and you lose the game. Game also ends when you go through all 6 Arenas. Then you need to score all your points from the Eliminations and see did you manage to win (depends on a difficulty level you chose).
