Please note that rules are subject to change as the game exits the beta testing phase

Compemon Deck

  • 12 types of Compémon
  • 3 of each level 1 Compémon
  • 3 of each level 2 Compémon
  • 3 of each level 3 Compémon
  • 4 “Networking” wild cards
  • 4 “Add Minor” draw 2 cards

Job Cards

  • 16 “Internship” yellow cards
  • 16 “Entry level job” orange cards
  • 16 “Mid career job” red cards

Self-Fulfillment Cards

  • 12 “Hobbies” green cards
  • 12 “Volunteer” purple cards

Setup

  • Shuffle all Compémon cards
  • Shuffle job & self fulfillment cards, keeping colors separate.
  • Deal 7 Compémon cards to each player
  • Lay out each colored job set (yellow, orange, red) and the Hobbies and Volunteer sets face down.
  • Take the top 3 cards from each of the job sets and turn them face up in a row next to their piles.
  • Turn 1 card from the self fulfillment decks (Hobby and Volunteer) and set it face up next to its pile.
  • Turn over the top card face up one side of the deck for the discard pile.

Play

Starting clockwise from the dealer:

  • Pick up one card from the top of the Compémon deck OR top card from the discard pile

You can either:

  • Choose not to play a card(s) to acquire a job or self-fulfillment card, and discard one.

OR

  • Play one or more cards to pick up a job or self-fulfillment card. Each job or self-fulfillment card has one or more competencies indicated on its face – you must have the right combination of competencies.
    • You may use a higher level card of the same competency for a lower level competency requirement. For example, if a job requires a level 2 Compémon, you can use the level 3 Compémon of the same competency for that job instead. However, you may not use a lower level card to pay for a higher level competency.
