2 Setting-up the Game

3 Flow of the Action
After setting up the game and confirming the win conditions, the action starts. The order of the players' turns are determined randomly at the start of the game and throughout the game Grandpa Trusdale gives a running commentary on each player's actions.
Each player is given an intial hand of monster cards (no magic or taps cards are used in this game) and from this hand players choose the cards they will set on the special Summon Die that is thrown at the end of each players turn.
3.1 Player actions
At the start of each player's turn one card is drawn that respective player's deck (There is no limit to the number of cards in each player's deck) and a mini menu appears at the bottom of the screen. This menu enables players to set up to six of their available monsters on the Summon Die or view the destiny board from various prespectives. When a player rolls the Summon Die their charcter either moves or stays on their current square depending on the roll result.
4 Characters

6 Dice Types
In Destiny Board Traveler there are two types of die, a Summon Die and a Duel Die.
6.1 Summon Die
The Summon die is the one which players placed put their monster cards on. The player can put from 1 to 6 monsters on the die level of the monsters they place on the die determine the number of spaces they move. The die has one Star face and five regular faces. If a player repeatedly taps the A button, the chances of rolling the Star face increase.
6.2 Duel Die
The Duel Die is only used in the duels for control over a space. It can tip the duel in a player's favour or prevent them summoning any monsters at all. The die has one Attack/Defence reversal face, one reduce Attack/Defence face, and four miss faces.
7 Duels
To obtain control of a creep or opponent space, players must attack the currently occupying monster with their own one. Players use the monster whose card was face-up when the Summon Die was rolled. Players can choose to Attack, Defend or pass during duels.
Like the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG the monsters' Attack and Defenc total determines the outcome of the duel over all. But, the Duel Dice which is rolled by both players at the end of the duel can determine the outcome. The victorious monster will either be summoned to the space or remain there, while the other monster is either returned to its owner's hand or sent to the graveyard.
If the duel ends in a tie, both monsters are sent to the graveyard and the space becomes open to all takers.
Like the TCG, L5+ can only be used in a duel if the player can pay the required sacrifice cost.
L5 and L6: 1 monster L7 and L8: 2 monsters Higher: 3 monsters
