“ClashBLOX Battle Cards” is literally a trading card game inside of the ROBLOX platform. The cards themselves represent ROBLOX users, along with items in the Catalog.
In ClashBLOX Battle Cards, users start off with a starter deck of trading cards, and have to battle each other to earn the virtual money inside of the game, called studs, to buy more cards, which come in a variety of booster packs. You start off with 500 studs, which is enough to buy a few booster packs. You will want more studs in order to get a better deck.
Users can challenge each other by clicking on another user’s Torso (the middle brick of a user), then a GUI pops up asking how many studs you want to bet and how much BP you want to start off with (BP will be explained below). If the user that you challenged accepts, a GUI pops up showing the field, and the game begins automatically. If they decline, a GUI pops up saying that they declined your challenge.
The card game itself is relatively simple, and fun to play! I won’t go into all the rules here, you can watch a YouTube tutorial in the description of the game for a tutorial of how to play. I will give a summary of the rules below:
Both you and your opponent start off with a certain amount of BP (Battle Points) from a minimum of 100 to 1000, depending on how much you decided when you send a challenge. You will get 7 random cards as your starting hand. At the beginning of your turn, your hand replenishes to 7 cards. There are three main cards: Character cards, Gear Cards, and Power Cards. Character Cards you can use to attack with, but only if they have a gear equipped. You can attack an opponents character, or when they have no characters, their BP directly. Power cards are cards you can just play to use their effects, then they go away. As far as I know, there is no discard pile/graveyard yet. Also, when you defeat an opponent’s character, they lose some of their BP.

The interesting thing about the game is that more rare character cards are more powerful, but if you defeat a rarer character card, the opponent takes more BP damage then they would if you defeated a common rarity character card. This makes playing the harder to get cards strategic – you only want to use the best rare cards, because if you have a rare card that can easily get defeated, you will lose a lot of BP.
There is also a deck customization GUI that allows you to view all the cards you have, the cards in your deck, and add/remove them. All you have to do to add/remove cards from your deck is to click on the card, then click the spot where you want the card to go. Here is a picture of it:
