About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to unleash Hadoukens and Shoryukens on the tabletop with the CapCom Street Fighter Deck-Building Game! Here, you embody legends like Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Balrog, or M. Bison, embarking on a journey through epic locales in search of challenges. At the start, your arsenal is basic, but with each turn, the strategy deepens: you'll acquire more powerful cards to boost your deck, aiming to knock out as many Stage Bosses as you can. Each player begins with their own ten-card starting deck and draws five cards per turn. The 'Power' of the cards is your currency to buy new, stronger additions to your deck. The magic of deck-building is transforming your deck into a fighting machine, and here you can acquire Villains, Heroes, Equipment, Super Powers, and Locations. A central line-up of five cards is always available for purchase, ensuring your strategic options change every round. By accumulating enough power, you can challenge the current Stage Boss. But beware: they retaliate! The action is often one-on-one, and you can defend yourself with cards like Chun-Li's Bracelets. Oh, and each character has their own Ultra card, that special move that can turn the tide of the game! In the end, the player with the most Victory Points from the cards in their deck wins.
