Play the game normally without specialty cards.
The first battles are pure strategy and card play.
Only in the last 2 battles of the round, specialty cards become active.
Players may now use their specialty cards to change the outcome of the final showdown.
Goal
Win the round by taking the final battle while using your specialty cards at the perfect moment.
Why it works
The round starts strategic and predictable, but the final battles explode into chaos when specialty cards suddenly enter the game.
