The following comments resulted from a first pass at reading the rules 
file. I found it a little terse in places but expect my understanding to 
improve with further, much closer, reading.

Should the above be:

                          AND
        Piece A has no evader that piece C doesn't have and
        piece C has an evader that piece A doesn't have.

ie does the evaders of the attacking piece have to be a *proper* subset 
of the evaders of the blocking piece for blocking to work, or is it 
sufficient for the two sets to be equal?

I found this a little tricky to follow, but I think I got the idea.

Is the currency life points?

Does this mean the player wins the ability to obtain card templates from 
an extension set but does not actually win a card template as a result 
of this tournament?



Looks like fun. Do you think it would be suitable for mobile devices?
