Rules Reference

A legal deck uses 1 leader, 40 main cards, and 20 building cards.

Cards in the main deck are limited to 3 copies each, while buildings are limited to 2 copies each.

Your leader's colors determine what non-generic cards you may include.

Players alternate turns. A turn includes draw, resource/work setup, actions, and end step.

During your action window, you may play cards, activate abilities, and attack according to card timing.

Effects that trigger at start or end of turn resolve in active-player order unless the card says otherwise.

Declare attackers, then defenders, then resolve combat simultaneously unless a keyword overrides timing.

Power, stack power, and persistent modifiers are recalculated whenever board state changes.

Destroyed cards move to discard unless replacement effects redirect them.

An ability can be used only when its timing text allows it.

You must pay all listed costs in full before the effect resolves.

If any target becomes illegal before resolution, resolve as much of the effect as possible.

Keyword text is rules shorthand and always carries its full meaning, even when reminder text is omitted.

If two effects conflict, apply the more specific rule text over the more general one.

A player wins when the opponent meets a loss condition defined by the mode (for example, base defeat or objective completion).

For best-of matches, sideboarding and timeout handling should be agreed before match start.

In unresolved edge cases, use latest official Tiny Dudes rulings as the tiebreaker.
