A Standard or a 'Regular game' is played without effect cards. This allows for simple enjoyment of the game by all skill levels.  both by those who just play whatever card from their hand and those who like to think out each move and what and when to play each card.

An Advanced game uses the same 21 card deck, effect cards, and a single Special Action card.
