About TCGs

Is this your first time playing a TCG? Then read the sections below ^-^ If not, you can scroll down to read about this particular TCG.

What is a TCG?

A TCG, or Trading Card Game, is a game where you collect cards and trade them with other members. Remember Pokemon cards? This is similar, but instead, it is free and online! There are many fun and interesting ways to earn cards, like games, trading and contests.

How do I Play?

Simple! You just need two things:
1) A trade post. This is basically a website where you post your cards. You can use a free site, like Freewebs, or you can get hosted. If you want to get hosted, try Clavis-sama. You need a website to post your cards and record how you received them. An example of a trade post is mine.
2) A working email address. This way, you can earn cards through contests, collect level up and mastery rewards, and trade with other members ^-^

About Ketsuron

This is an important section to read. This is where you'll find information on this TCG, such as how to level up, card worth, ect.

Ketsuron...?

Ketsuron is the Japanese word for Q.E.D. What's Q.E.D.? It's a Latin phrase (well, shortend form) meaning something has been proven. Why did I pick that title for this TCG? I dunno, it just sounded pretty :) If you can think of a good reason, email me, and I'll post it here XD

Levels

Levels determine how far you are in the TCG. Some TCGs determine level by card count. Here at Ketsuron, we determine level by card worth. For excample, if you have 5 normal cards worth one, and 3 special cards worth two, your card worth is 11. Make sense? You can use a badge to display your current level on your trade post ^-^

Card Worth	Level
0-100	One
101-200	Two
201-300	Three
301-400	Four
401-500	Five
501-600	Six
601-700	Seven
801-900	Eight
901-1000	Nine
1000+	Ten

Every time you level up, you will earn one choice card, two random cards, and one random special. Awesome, no?

OTAKU System

Once you reach Level 10, you can qualify to become an OTAKU! The OTAKU System has it's own set of badges and qualifications to level up. They're difficult to reach, but I'm sure you'll get to the OTAKU level!

Qualification	Level
Master 25 NORMAL decks; 3000 card worth	O
Master 50 NORMAL decks; 5000 card worth	OT
Master 75 NORMAL decks; 9000 card worth	OTA
Master 100 NORMAL decks; 15,000 card worth	OTAK
Master 200 NORMAL decks; 25,000 card worth	OTAKU

For each level you reach, you can get one choice card, two random cards, and two choice special. HOWEVER! Your choice cards CANNOT make you master a deck!

Mastering

Once you've collected all the cards in a certain deck, you've mastered it! Congratulations! Now I will try to explain the rewards for mastering certain decks.

Type	Number of Cards	Rewards
Normal	20	Two choice, two random, one random special
Special	10	Two choice, two random, one choice special
Super Special	15	Two choice, three random, one choice special
Layout	3	One choice, two random, one choice special

Earning Cards

There are various ways to earn cards. The easiest and most common way to get cards is through a trade. To trade, simply ask a member if they would like to trade cards. Be sure to tell them which card you are willing to give, and which of their cards you would like. Also, be polite! I shouldn't have to say that, but I will anyway.

Another way to earn games, and this way is the fastest, is to play games. You will get different cards depending on the difficulty of the game. Obviously, an easy puzzle will give a lesser reward than a hard puzzle, and a missing lyrics game will give you less cards than a blurred picture game.

Contests are another fun way to earn cards. However, this is also the hardest way to earn cards. You will be competeing with fellow members in a certain category in order to earn cards. Contests can be graphic related, art or writing related. The rewards for contests will be greater than games, but harder to obtain.
