of each of the cards.

Monster Cards

A
Monster Card is the basic card used to attack your opponent. Monster Cards are
categorized by Type and Attribute. There are 20 different Types and 6 different
Attributes. Type and Attribute affect each monster’s ability to Attack and
Defend. The overall strength of a monster is indicated by its Level (the number
of stars at the upper right of the Monster Card). A Monster Card is color-coded
YELLOW.

Monster
Tokens
Monster Tokens will come into play in future releases, and are used
IN PLACE of Monster Cards. The tokens represent monsters that appear on the
field as a result of a card being activated. As they are not actual cards, these
monsters are not included in a Deck (Deck Construction, p. 34).
Use coins
or a similar marker (as long as it can be flipped to indicate Attack Position
[heads] or Defense Position [tails]) as a Monster Token. When put into play,
Monster Tokens are placed on the Monster Card Zone of the Game Mat. When
destroyed, Monster Tokens are simply removed from the field.
Monster
Tokens count toward the 5-card Monster Card Zone limit.
Note: The cards shown up on the web page are the ones of future
release.
