TURN SEQUENCE • Play cards from your hand. • Total up your Power and purchase cards with total cost less than or equal to that total. • As soon as you buy or gain a card, place it into your discard pile, unless instructed otherwise. • You may play additional cards even after making purchases. END OF TURN • Resolve any “at the end of your turn” effects. • Place all the cards you played and any remaining cards from your hand into your discard pile, and draw a new hand of five cards. • Fill each empty slot in the Line-Up with a card from the top of the main deck. • If the top card of the Stage stack is face down, flip it face up. Do not reshuffle your discard pile just because you have no cards in your deck. Wait until you must draw, discard, or reveal a card from your deck. Then shuffle your discard pile, and it becomes your new deck. The game ends immediately when either of the following two conditions is met: • You are unable to flip up to a new Stage on the stack. • You are unable to refill all five slots of the Line-Up. ©CAPCOM.

OVERVIEW In the Street Fighter Deck-building Game, you take on the role of Ryu, Chun-Li, Vega or one of the other fierce combatants in a competition to determine who reigns supreme! While you begin with only the ability to Punch your foes, you will add new, more powerful cards to your deck. Defeating as many stage bosses as possible is your goal. In the end, the player who has accumulated the most Victory Points from the cards in his or her deck wins the game. CONTENTS 221 Game Cards • 36 Punch Starting Cards • 16 Vulnerability Starting Cards • 14 Ultra Cards • 16 Kick Cards • 8 Stage Cards • 20 Weakness Cards 14 Oversized Super Heroes 1 Rulebook SETUP FOR YOUR FIRST GAME 1. Your Super Hero and Starting Deck You play one of 14 different Heroes or Villains from the world of CAPCOM. For the purposes of this game, the playable Villains are Super Heroes as well. After all, they’re a hero to someone! Shuffle the 14 Super Heroes and deal one to each player or choose your favorite character. Place the remaining Super Heroes face down in the middle of the table in a single stack. They will be used later. Each player begins with a starting deck of seven Punch cards and three Vulnerability cards. You will use your Punch cards to buy more powerful cards to add to your deck, improving it as the game goes on. Vulnerability cards represent things that occasionally cause a Super Hero to falter. They do nothing for you when drawn or played.
