Dragon Ball Z: Collectible Card Game Strategy Guide

DRAGON BALL Z: COLLECTIBLE CARD GAME GUIDE

Stop "dragon" those cards around and get into card-crazy Dragon Ball Z for the GBA. Dragon Ball Z: Collectible Card Game is the latest craze with the youngsters these days, so it's only appropriate that Infogrames brings this craze to the Game Boy Advance. Coupled with Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku for the Game Boy Advance, now's a great time to be an owner of Nintendo's handy little portable supermachine.

How To Play The basic premise of Dragon Ball Z: Collectible Card Game is simple. Each player starts off with a certain amount of "life deck points" (the number you get depends on the type of deck you start off with). When you first start playing the game, you have the option assuming the identity of Goku, Gohan, Garlic Jr. or Freiza. You can use each character's unique Starter Deck or build your own deck (which we'll get into later). If you aren't into building your own card deck right now, the best choices are either Freiza or Goku.

Phase Four There are a total of four phases in Dragonball Z: Collectible Card Game: Draw, Non-Combat, Combat and Discard. Players take a turn to go through all three of these phases while their opponent has the ability to counterattack during the Combat phase

Draw: Before you do anything else in your turn, you'll have to draw cards. During this phase, the active player (you) will draw three cards from the life deck. Although you'll only have three cards in your hand at the beginning of the game, later on you can hold four or more cards at a time. . . . . read more
