Set them up like the image above. Special and prize decks shuffled with room to discard fighters as you go
Everyone starts with fighters with ATK 000 to ATK 1000 as well as a single CockFight!
The first prize card is revealed, and everyone selects a fighter to battle for the prize. They place their fighter face down on the table.
Once the fighter is tabled, you cannot change it
When everyone has chosen a fighter, everyone shows eachother their chosen cocks!
The fighter with the highest ATK wins the prize card
Repeat this until all fighters in your hand have been used
The winner of the round is the person with the most prize money
Discard all prizes into a separate pile to the main prize deck (prizes are won only once per game)
Start the round by dealing everyone their special cards (details below)
Play the round as before
Repeat rounds until all prize cards are used
The winner is the person who won the most rounds
If a fight is tied with two fighters of equal ATK, no one wins. The fighters are discarded, another prize card is added on top of the previous prize, and both prizes are up for grabs.
A tied round is settled by paper scissors rock
A tied game is settled by dealing more special cards, shuffling the previously discarded prize cards, and playing on until someone takes the lead
Special cards spice up the game by throwing a little chaos into the mix! Feel free to include of omit special cards as you see fit.
Not only chaos but they also introduce a lot of opportunity for tactics and strategy!
Special cards can be played at any time in the game! Decide on your own rules ahead of time or argue your case as you go!
All specials are single use
Everyone starts with a "Cock Fight" special card, and more special cards are delt between rounds
For each player deal 2 cards face up into the middle of the table
Whoever won the previous round picks a card, then second etc. all the way to the loser in last place (womp womp)
The loser then gets first pick of their second card and reverse order continues all the way back to first place
This is commonly called "snake draft" so some shit.. I'm not actually sure
Basically what it says on the card... play paper scissors rock for to break a tie. Only the people in the tie can compete or play this card.
For 3 way (nice) or more ties, you're on your own but I'm sure you'll figure it out. Just make it a fun and low skill challenge
Arguably the best card in the game as you can antagonize and bait other more feeble players.
You can choose what card gets blocked.
Yes you can cockblock a cockblock
Interrogate the weak of mind... Get in their head! Guess their card correctly and kill it!
Effect does not apply after cards are revealed
Muffala? Pussala? Vaggala? Fannala? Don't ask...

Must happen before cards are revealed
Charlotte's favorite card for some reason. Add an extra prize card to prize up for grabs.
You can use this card after you've already won the prize or use it before you've won to be extra cocky, but you know you won't
End the current round. The winner of the round is whoever has the most prizes at the time the card is played
Knock an opponent's fighter out of the round.
This can be played after fighters are revealed
What is says on the tin.
This can be played after fighters are revealed
Second highest card wins! If used in conjunction with lowest wins, it becomes the second lowest wins
Another one that does what it says on the tin. Steal a random prize from an opponent
The most devilish card! I got absolutely nailed with this card a couple of times
Swap your entire hand of fighters with an opponent. It pays to be careful where you discard fighters to make things easier when you swap back at the end of the round
Swap your played fighter with one in your hand
You can use this after fighters have been revealed. Good for lessening the blow of a loss or ensuring a win
Automatically win a tie
Beats a Cock Fight! if played before playing paper, scissors, rock
Everyone else must play their highest card
Automatically win the round supersedes any card played
Can be cockblocked
Ask an opponent a yes or no question. they must answer truthfully. Doesn't need to be a question about the game if you're that way inclined
