Editing South Park: Phone Destroyer (section)

==Gameplay Mechanics==
Basic gameplay across all modes involves the New Kid holding their phone, to represent their ingame life, and charging it with energy slowly over turns. Energy can be used to draw 'cards' from their hand, based on ''South Park'' characters or special powers. When a card is drawn, a corresponding amount of energy is lost, and that character is summoned to typically cause damage against opposing characters or players, or otherwise benefit the player. Each has a special ability, some being charged over time while others occur during the summon. Characters or powers with higher energy cost have stronger effects. The goal is to eventually destroy the opponent's phone. (That's why it's called "Phone Destroyer"!)

In story mode, the player must clear a scrolling stage of enemies across a street, usually fighting weak enemies such as various kids dressed as Indians, before eventually encountering a boss, who will later be available as a playable card, who can also summon their own cards for defense. Several bosses will usually be encountered in story before the story boss for each them will be encountered, often two or three times.

In PVP mode, each player is fixed to one side of the screen, with a clear boundary set between them, and both are tasked with causing the destruction of the other player's phone by summoning their cards. If no phone is destroyed soon enough, a time limit will eventually decide a winner based on who has sustained the least damage. Many of these battles must be completed to progress in story mode.

As the game's story suggests each kid is dressing up for their respective role, multiple variations of the same character cannot be summoned at the same time by one or both players, such as Poseidon Stan and Stan of Many Moons, as that character cannot be in two places at once... however, some characters' special abilities may offer multiples to exist, most notably Gizmo Ike.

All decks are limited to twelve cards from two of the four main themes, with neutral cards not counting towards this limit.
