Rules

• Two DJs each bring a saved track list into a DJ battle.
• Each DJ fills their own deck slots with songs, builds stacks, and triggers synergies to grow their own DJ Vibescore — there's no shared gauge to fight over.
• The first DJ to reach 1,000,000 DJ Vibe wins.

A track list is built from two card types:

• Song — the core collectible.
• Synergy— lets you move to a genre your current Playing Song doesn't permit.

Songs can appear as variants — remix, cover, live, acoustic, and more — which stack onto their base song without costing an extra deck slot. Each DJ tracks their own DJ Vibe score, starting at 0 and climbing as the match plays out.

Every card exposes four stats that stacking, synergy, and matchup rules read from during resolution:

• Song Vibe — a 50-120 score reflecting how broadly the song connects with the audience. A few special songs fall below 50 or above 120, anywhere in the full 0-200 range.
• Intensity— pop, soft, experimental, or hardcore, set by the card's genre or subgenre.
• Advantage / Weakness — the genres this card is strong or weak against.

Your own DJ Vibe gates which intensities you can play: below 100 DJ Vibe, only Pop cards; below 1,000, Pop and Soft; below 10,000, add Experimental; below 100,000, all four — including Hardcore.

Full frame breakdown with all variant art: Cards — Anatomy.

Before battling, DJs assemble a track list of exactly 60 cards. You can build and name as many track lists as you like, and save track list presets — frozen lineup configurations for different battle contexts — that get validated against your current collection when loaded.

Builder and full spec: Track Lists.

• Both DJs load one saved track list into the battle.
• Each DJ's DJ Vibe is set to 0.
• Opening Queue (draw 7 cards) and first DJ are resolved before turn 1 begins.

Your gear — how many deck slots you have — is gated by your own DJ Vibe, and upgrades mid-battle as it climbs:

• MP3 Player — 1 deck slot, below 100 DJ Vibe. One deck means nothing to transition between, so cards are played straight away.
• Controller — 2 deck slots, below 1,000. Your first real transitions.
• Turntables — 3 deck slots, below 10,000.
• Full Rig — 4 deck slots, from 10,000 onward.

Cards you no longer control leave into your own Crate. A card lands there when you discard it from your Queue, when a card effect sends it there, or during Transition phase: cards transitioning out of a deck slot move to the Crate, along with any Synergy card you played last turn.

Each turn follows a fixed order:

1. Draw — draw 1 card into your Queue.
2. Transition phase — cards transitioning in become Playing Songs; cards transitioning out, and any Synergy card played last turn, move to the Crate.
3. Play — cue a Song card from your Queue into an open deck slot: it starts transitioning inand is played at the next turn's Transition phase. With only one deck slot, there is nothing to transition between — the card is played straight away. You can also play a Synergy card to enable a genre move this turn.
4. Resolve effects — stacks, synergies, and matchup modifiers are all applied here.
5. End phase— score: each of your Playing Songs that isn't Silenced adds its Song Vibe to your own DJ Vibe.

• Each of your Playing Songs that isn't Silenced adds its Song Vibe to your own DJ Vibe.

All of this nets into a shift applied to your own DJ Vibe each turn.

The battle ends the instant either DJ's own DJ Vibe reaches 1,000,000 — that DJ wins on the spot, with no fixed turn count and no waiting for a track list to run out.
