A game of Totem plays similarly to a normal game of Pokemon, but with the following differences…
Players use 100-card decks instead of 60
Decks are Singleton, meaning they may only use one copy of any unique card, aside from Basic energy.
Because of this huge deck, it is recommended to use lower-rarity cards if possible, and to use single-layer protective sleeves.
Useful tools to have for a game of Totem include:
Damage counters
Dice to represent “Tribute Cost” (d6+ dice recommended)
Dice to represent “Totem Points” (d6 dice recommended)
Legal Flipping Coin or Translucent D6 Die
Special Condition Markers that your deck uses
GX Marker, VStar Marker, or any kind of extra tokens for special effects in your deck
