Rules
- Main article: Rules
The rulebook for this set can be found here.
This set made these changes to the rules:
- Added the definition of Talent.
This set also added these clarifications:
- The diagram of a base card explains that a base's ability is a "sort of a combination of Special, Ongoing, and Awesome.", although a more accurate description would just be "Ongoing".
- The definition of Extra reiterates that extras gained by Specials must be played right away. This was also stated in the "Me First!" and "Void Where Prohibited" sections of both rulebooks.
- The definition of Ongoing now says that some non-ongoing abilities can still last until the end of the turn.
- The definition of Ongoing says that Ongoing abilities are active for as long as "they're around" rather than "in play". This change introduces a new term which is not well defined, thereby making this definition less clear.
- The "Void Where Prohibited" section added that Specials can be played even on other players turns as long as they are applicable.
Trivia
- The name of the set is a reference to Dragon Ball Z.
