Bikkuriman 2000: Charging Card Game

**Bikkuriman 2000: Charging Card Game** (ビックリマン2000 チャージングカードゲーム) is a *Bikkuriman 2000* card game released by Tomy.

## Gameplay

### Basics

The game uses its own cards and seals (stickers) from the Bug Akuma vs. Giga Tenshi Seal series. If a seal is inserted in a Pocket Card, it will be charged and gain a bonus. The game can be played without seals, but having them will make the deck stronger. Players battle each other with their cards. The first to reduce the opponent's life to 0 wins.

* **Deck** (デッキ) - Each player uses a deck of 50 cards, 25 being Pocket Cards and 25 Bikkuri Cards.
* **Hand** - At the beginning of the game each player draws seven cards.
* **Life** (ライフ) - Each player starts with 300 HP. 300 is also the maximum limit.

* **Pocket Card** (ポケットカード) - A character card that includes a clear plastic bag to put a seal inside. If the seal and card are the same character, then the card power goes up. The characters are part of the "Bikkuri World" and have special attacks that can be used in battle. Usually each attack alone, but they can also combine to create "Yaku". Those consist of all characters from series 1 to 3 and three "Almight" cards.
	+ **Group Icon** (グループアイコン) - In the first series, there are nine types of groups. Points go up when the Yaku is of the same group.
	+ **Attribute Icon** (属性アイコン *Zokusei Aikon*) - The characters are mainly divided in four attributes: The  **Giga Tenshi** (ギガ天使, Giga Angel) and the opposing  **Bug Akuma** (バグ悪魔, Bug Devil), the  **Supporter** (聖守（サポーター）) that assist the Giga Tenshi, and the  **Hooligan** (魔守（フーリガン）) that assist the Bug Akuma. There is also the **Head Cards** and **All Mighty Cards**.
	+ **Grade Icon** - C, R or E.

* **Bikkuri Card** (ビックリカード) - Support cards divided in three colors:
	+ **Red Cards** - Cards focused on power, giving more strength to attacks. Can be put together at the time of the Pocket Card's attack.
	+ **Green Cards** - Cards that affect the hand and status. Can be issued before the attack of a Pocket Card.
	+ **Blue Cards** - Cards focused on defense, repelling opponents by weakening their offensive power. Used during the opponent's attack.

### Yaku

**Yaku** (役, "Role") is an element similar to a poker game, a combination of cards to make a stronger attack in group and cause more damage rather than attacking alone. Bonus points of the Yaku have two types: "Complete" (コンプリート) and "Non-Complete" (ノンコンプリート). Complete is when all cards in the Yaku are charged with a seal, giving twice the points of a Non-Complete Yaku.

In addition to the normal Yaku, there is a **Toku Yaku** (特役, "Special Role") that, by combining specific cards, can get higher points:
