Kirby no Copy-toru![1] (also known as Kirby Copy-toru![2]) is a Japanese exclusive Kirby card game published by HAL Laboratory and Ensky in 2015. It can be played by 1-6 players and features three different game modes.
Overview
There are two main types of cards: Kirby cards and Enemy cards. Kirby cards feature Kirby either in his Normal state or with a Copy Ability, while Enemy cards feature various enemies and bosses of the series. Each card has a color out of 5 (white, red, blue, green, yellow) and a power number ranging from 1 to 8 at the top left corner of the card. Kirby cards based on Copy Abilities each have a unique ability that can be used in two of the game modes. Enemy cards have a number of points they earn from being defeated, at the bottom right corner of the card.
Game modes
There are three different ways the game can be played:
Easy Battle (かんたんバトル)
This mode requires 2-6 players. Players take turns drawing Kirby cards to defeat Enemy cards on the table. The game ends when all players are out of Kirby cards, and the winner is the player with the highest score from the sum of points of the enemy cards defeated.
A set number of Kirby cards are given to each player, and the remaining ones are placed on a deck. A number of Enemy cards are drawn and placed on the table, and the remaining ones are placed on another deck. Each turn, a player draws one of their Kirby cards and "attacks" an enemy: if the attack is successful, they obtain the Enemy card they attacked, if not, that card is simply discarded. Regardless of the outcome, the drawn Kirby card is discarded. An attack is successful if the colors of the Kirby and Enemy cards match, and the Kirby card has the same power number or higher than the Enemy card. White Kirby cards can attack any Enemy card color, and white Enemy cards can be attacked by any Kirby card color. Moreover, a 1 power Kirby card can defeat a power 8 Enemy card. If a player cannot attack any Enemy card, or wants to attempt to defeat a strong Enemy card, they can discard one of their Kirby cards and draw a new one, however they must attack with the newly drawn Kirby card. Once all Enemy cards on the table are gone, they are replaced with the same number as the beginning; the game only ends with all players run out of Kirby cards.[3]
Copy Ability Battle (コピー能力バトル)
In this mode, white cards are called Normal cards, and cards of other colors are called Copy Ability cards. It is similar to Easy Battle, however more complex and with some different rules. It requires 2-4 players, and it ends after all players have each performed 7 turns. The player with the highest score from the sum of points of the enemy cards defeated is the winner.
Each player is given one of the 3, 4 or 5 power Normal cards randomly. Three decks are created: one with Normal cards of power 6, 7 and 8, one of Copy Ability cards, and another of Enemy cards. Five Copy Ability cards, and five Enemy cards (of power 5 or less, and not of white color) are then drawn on the table to begin the game. Each player, on their turn, has to do two "phases", the "action phase" and the "get phase". Turns are indicated with Number cards.
The "action phase" consists of the player using one of their held Kirby cards to attack an Enemy card on the table. Unlike Easy Battle, the colors of the cards don't have to match; plus, if the drawn Kirby card has an ability, that ability will be performed, either in this phase, or after as indicated in the ability description. If the attack fails, the Enemy card remains on the table, but if it succeeds, the player collects the Enemy card; the Kirby card is discarded regardless. This phase can be skipped if the player chooses for any reason.
The "get phase" allows the player to collect a Copy Ability card from the table. However, they can only get a card of the color of an Enemy card they attacked in the "action phase" in that same turn, even if the attack failed. If there is no Copy Ability card that matches the color, the player draws a card from the Normal card deck. Some abilities are performed only in this phase, and other immediatelly after it ends.
