The Judge’s Quandary: Chimera Protocol

Combine HEAD, BODY, and LIMBS to create a chimera of your own.

The Judges' Quandary: Chimera Protocol is a competitive card game where you combine monster cards to create chimeras and compete for the approval of a panel of judges.

The head of Bahamut. The body of Kraken. The limbs of Phoenix.

Depending on which monsters you combine, your chimera's appearance and abilities can change dramatically.

But simply creating the "strongest chimera" will not be enough.

Victory Is Decided by the Judges

Each chimera is evaluated by judges with different fields of expertise, values, and standards.

Some value offensive power.

Some appreciate aesthetic beauty.

Others focus on survival strategy or biodiversity.

There are even judges who care about the sound of a specimen's designated name or the imposing presence conveyed by its appearance.

Their scores are not arbitrary.

Every judge takes their work seriously, evaluating each research specimen according to their own expertise and convictions.

Study the evaluation criteria announced before each match, then use the cards in your hand to create the three chimeras best suited to impress them.

Three Chimeras. Three Rounds.

Choose monster cards for the HEAD, BODY, and LIMBS to create three different chimeras.

Then assign each completed chimera to Round 1, Round 2, or Round 3.

Which monsters should you combine?

And which chimera should face which judge?

Victory depends not only on how you combine your cards, but also on the order in which you present your creations.

Win two out of three rounds to claim victory.

## The Judges Take Their Work Seriously

Attack, Defense, Aesthetic Beauty, Danger, Survival Strategy, Biodiversity...

Every chimera possesses a variety of characteristics, and every judge evaluates them according to their own standards.

Once the judging is complete, their assessment of each research specimen is recorded as well.

No matter what strange form a chimera may take, the judges' duty remains unchanged.

They simply evaluate the research presented before them according to their own criteria.

Whether you agree with their verdict is another matter entirely.
