TS Players Guide

Both players need a 50-card deck and 6-10 d6. Both players shuffle their decks, offer a cut, and roll to determine who goes first. Then, both players draw 5 cards. Mulligan. You may repeat this process if you're displeased with your starting 5. For each card you exchange moving forward, you must pay -1 “Tasuo Armor” from your starting 10. Once both players accept their hand of destiny, it's time to battle!
