Nonetheless one is included, and it does help separate different types of cards. Gameboard: This is a game that really doesn't need a gameboard (not unlike Lost Cities and other 2-player Kosmos games). Overall the cards are very pretty, and quite easy to use.

The cards use an odd descriptive method for the text, including the pronouns "My" and "You" referring to the two players in the game I found it a bit hard to follow at first, but as long as you read the text of the cards aloud, it quickly clicks into place. Many cards also include additional special effect text at the top of the card. There's also a bit of extraneous information at the bottom of each card, used for constructing new decks, but it's small and unobtrusive. They're both quite good.Įach card also features two combat values (fire and earth) and icons for special powers (only three of them, shield, stop, and retrieve are used in these deck they're all quite intuitive). There are two main artists in this deck, John Matson (who painted the Vulca race pictures) and Franz Vohwinkel (who painted the Hoax race pictures). The majority of each play card is taken up by a large, attractive picture.

Each deck of cards includes 30 play cards, 1 leader card, and 1 reference card (which just lists the various icons, most of which aren't used in these decks). They're full-color and of medium weight with no texturing.

Blue Moon is a customizable card game by Reiner Knizia.
