The cards fought each other by rubbing scratch off spots on each card, looking for blood symbol underneath. The information on these cards was spread across. Console battle cards games are played in a different way from collective card games.

Battle card is probably the simplest game. The object of the game is to obtain a higher value card than the dealer. Who so ever has the highest card wins .In the event of tie all the participants are presented with a war and a surrender button.

When setting up for a multi theatre game .the enemies or the opponents are on the opposite side. Play proceeds generally zing sag across the table. When the battle come up in the play, if the aggressor wants to fight than the battle begins. Players may commit to multiple battles in a single run. Some battles allow for forces from more than one country on one side. Such battles like the battle of France, and others, will state which countries may participate. During such battles, treat all forces that are called into battle on one side as if they were part of the same army. Battle cards have slowly and gradually gained popularity and in 1993 battle cards were published by Merlin publishing’s. The cards came in ten card booster packs which include a variety of battle cards such as warrior cards, spell cards, quest cards and treasure cards etc. These cards are also known with the name scratch and slay cards or scratch or slay game system.

Warrior cards have twenty five scratches off dots around the border. These are divided into many parts such as three life dots, one purse dot, four head dots, six arm dots, six leg dots and five body dots. Underneath each arm, leg, head and body dot is either nothing or a red blood drop. Underneath the purse dot is a number. To play each warrior selects one warrior card. Just like a coin flip, one player is randomly determined to go first then the first player scratches one of the head, arm, leg, or body dots off then player scratches again and the process is repeated. After scratching the purse dot, the player could collect the purse from the card. There are certain steps that are to be followed to decide how to play:

1) Shuffle the cards well and distribute all the cards amongst the players.

2) Cards are distributed and kept in such a manner that all see only the upper side of the card.

3) The player to the left of the dealer starts the game and the one with the highest value wins.

4) Then the winning planner chooses a fact from the next card.

5) If there is a tie between two people that is they share the same top value then, all the competing cards are placed in the middle and the same player chooses the other card from the same set.

The person who wins all the cards from the players is the winner.
