How a match works
- Auction. Twelve of the 120 lots come up one by one. Both players start with twenty coins.
- Lineup. Each player secretly assigns their five lots to the five duels: Scoring, Playmaking, Star power, Defence, Legacy.
- Arena. The five duels play out and every lot adds its power. The side with the bigger total takes the match, however the individual duels fell.
