for good or evil is up to you..
Genegrafter is a card game

performs the following actions.

2. Play a Character Card
3. Battle
4. Discard
Draw a Card
If the card you draw is an event
c a r d
immediately show it
to all
players and follow
the directions on the card. Once
you have done so, draw another
card. If the card is a DNA Strand,
place it in the center of the play
mat/area and draw another card.
Continue this process until the
card drawn is not an Event Card,
or DNA Strand Card.
Play a Character Card
Players may play up to three
Character Cards per turn. A
player must play at least one
Character card every turn
if they are able.
Battle
If it is your turn and you have a Character
in play, you can battle another opponent’s
character once per turn. You may battle
more than one opponent, but not more than
once each turn. You may battle opponents
in any order you wish.
1. Announce which opponent you
wish to battle.
2. Announce which Character
you are sending into battle.
3. Announce which opposing
character you are
targeting.

playing
Ability cards, face down. Starting with the
Defending player.
5. Once Both
Players have
declared that
they have finished,
turn all cards face
up, and apply the
bonuses to the
battle starting
with the last
ability played.

PLayer 1 announces he is battling
Player 2’s Characters. Since
Madlock is only Character the
opponent has in play he must be the
target.
Since Player 2 is defending, he plays
plays first by selecting and playing
an Ability Card face down.
Now, PLayer 1 plays an Ability
Card face down.
Once both players announce they are
done playing Ability Cards, they flip
them face up.
Now both players add the bonuses
that the Ability Cards indicate, to
the Attack or Defense value.
Since Nebrus harnesses radition as
his super power, he adds 2 dice to his
attach attribute. Characters with
an Infinity power type Always
recieve the higher bonus.
Player 1 Receives 2 Attack Dice
from Gamma Blast, and adds that to
his 3 base Attach Dice, giving him a
total of 5 Attack Dice.
PLayer 2 receives 1 Defense Die
from Levitate, and adds that to the
Character’s base Defense of 3,
giving a total of 4 dice.

PLayer 1 rolls:
Totalling 18
PLayer 2 rolls:
Totalling 11
PLayer 1 has the higher total, and so
nebrus wins the battle against Madlock.
Player 2 will turn the Character on his
side, indicating that he has been damaged.
Since there are no other Players, and no
other Characters attacking or defending,
the turn is over. PLayer 1 collects
Madlock and places him into his Gene Pool.
If there were more players or Characters
the process would be repeated for each
battle until the attacking player has
exhausted his Character roster.

Special Rules
Genegrafter comes with 4 special player
cards that can be used to play a variant of
the game. Simply shuffle these face down and
have each player choose one before cards
are dealt. Each player will place their
selected card face up in their play area for
the rest of the game, utilizing the special
ability listed on the card.
Card Specific Rules
Enlightenment is cumulative. So if you have
the matching power, you would look at the
target player’s hand AND choose one card
from there to put into your own hand.
Heal Minor Wounds
resolves after all
damage is dealt.
Lucky Shot and Roll
Again can be used on
any roll during
battle. They wait
to be resolved until
there is at least one
object that they can
affect (in this case
dice).
FAQ
I played Super Punch using a character
with Super Strength, do I get 2 Attack
Dice or 3?
-You would get 2. For dice rolls, it is
always the higher of the two, not
cumulative.
If my opponent doesn’t have any
Characters can I still attack in order to
play cards like Enlightenment?
- No. Your opponent must have a
Character in play before you can attack.
What does healing mean?
- If a card is orientated sideways
after being hit, some cards will allow you
to ‘heal’ them by turning them back to
their proper orientation. This cancels all
previous damage so that a Character will
remain in play after Battle has resolved.
My opponent attacked me last turn, can I
still attack the Character they used?
- Yes. They can only attack with that
Character once per turn, but any number
of players can still target the
Character on their turn during battle.
