—description from the publisher

Gameplay in 9DKP is very simple, consisting of 2 phases.

Phase 1 – Draw: draw 1 new card into your hand.

Phase 2 – Active: During the active phase you do the follow:

Wake up any character cards that are in Katnap. Play 1 character card into your RANGE (with a max of 4 cards in your RANGE at one time). Generate or spend the corresponding DKP value of the card. That card enters in Katnap and cannot attack or defend during this turn unless otherwise stated. Play any number of skratch cards you wish as long as you can afford the associated DKP cost. Play passes to your opponent.
