Bleach Trading Card Game

The Bleach Trading Card Game is a collectible card game from Score Entertainment, and is based on the anime and manga series of the same name. The Bleach Trading Card Game is played with two people. Each player must have a total of at least sixty-one cards: a Guardian card, a sixty-card 'main deck' and a Side Deck consisting of a number of energy cards dictated by your Guardian card that will total twenty cards. There are two ways to win: reduce your opponent's Power (printed on their Guardian card) to zero, or if your opponent attempts to draw or discard a card from their deck and fails. A standard player's turn in the game consists of three steps: The Resource Step, the Main Step and the End Step. The Resource Step has players drawing cards and putting Energy cards into play, the Main Step is where players can attack and play cards, and the End Step is a formal conclusion to the turn. <div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 240%;">Sets:<!--size--></span></strong> <img src="http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh166/crgaming/Premiere_promo.gif" border="0"> <strong>Premiere Set</strong> Released May 2007: 250+ card set including Hi-Tech Guardian cards (Covers Episodes 1-20) <img src="http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh166/crgaming/soulsociety_promo.gif" border="0"> <strong>Soul Society</strong> Released August 2007: 110 card set + 10 card Soul Reaper Subset (Covers Episodes 21-32) <img src="http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh166/crgaming/seireitei_promo.gif" border="0"> <strong>Seireitei</strong> Releases November 14th 2007: 110 card set + 10 card Soul Reaper Subset Contd.
