How to Play the Chocoya Trading Card Game
Each round players draw a card ((roll d6)). The card pulled matches the holiday listed below. They scan the card with the Cardcaster to equip their hologram Chocoya with festive elements. Some holidays CLASH and automatically win the round. If there is no CLASH then they must SMASH the lit panel sections on the top of their Cardcaster to strengthen their Chocoya ((roll d8)). Whoever powers up their Chocoya most wins the round. Games are played best 3 out of 5.

How many Cardcasters do you need to play?
Only one Cardcaster is needed to play the Chocoya Trading Card Game. The Cardcaster has hologram reading units on each side, allowing opponents to sit across from each other and place cards. However, using a single Cardcaster means much smaller holograms and needing to be much closer than typical two Cardcaster games. For tournaments two Cardcasters are used. Should someone not have a Cardcaster, one is loaned for tournament purposes.
