Abstract: Allotted resource card game system includes a plurality of game components, at least some of which have a power value and/or ability. Each game component is in a state such as an “in play” state or an “out of play” state. Components of opponents are diminished by utilizing cards from the “out of play” state to the “in play” state along with their specific abilities. Preferably, the power values are spent to reduce the number of the opponent's cards as quickly and efficiently as possible. The player whom no longer has any cards is the loser.
