5-2Pre-Game Preparations
5-2-1Before the game begins, both players must perform the following steps.
5-2-1-1Each player shuffles their respective deck. Then, both players place their deck face down.
5-2-1-2Each player shuffles their respective Digi-Egg deck. Then, both players place their Digi-Egg deck face down. If you don't have a Digi-Egg deck, proceed directly to the next step.
5-2-1-3The players use rock-paper-scissors to determine the first player and the second player. The player who wins the game of rock-paper-scissors goes first.
5-2-1-4Both players draw 5 cards from their decks for their initial hands. Then, both players starting with the first player may declare to re-draw their initial hand, but this can only be done once by each player.
5-2-1-5After declaring a re-draw, the player returns their entire hand to their deck, shuffles it, then draws 5 cards for their new initial hand.
5-2-1-6For their security stack, both players take the top 5 cards of their deck and place them face-down one at a time without looking at the fronts of the cards. The cards are to be placed so the top card of the deck becomes the bottom card of the security stack.
5-2-1-7Place the memory gauge marker at the 0 position.
5-2-1-8The game begins with the first player's turn.
