Puzzle Strike is a card game played with chips instead of cards (for way easier shuffling) that simulates a puzzle game. Break gems from your gem pile and send them to your opponents' gem piles while customizing your deck to do bigger and bigger combos.
You start with a just some gem chips (money), a Crash Gem, and three character chips that do various fun things. Over the course of the game, you buy more and more chips for your "deck." Puzzle Strike is about building a fun and effective deck as you go in addition to playing your chips well when you draw them.
You go through your deck quite a few times per game in Puzzle Strike, and shuffle up each time you do. Luckily, you play with wooden chips instead of cards, so "shuffling" just means toss them in your bag and shake them for a couple seconds.
Puzzle Strike contains almost 350 chips. The chips are the same size as poker chips. They're made of thick 1/8th inch chipboard, 1.5 inches in diameter with edge-to-edge graphics.
There are also four bags included, used to hold your chips during gameplay. They're velvety purple because purple is an important color in Puzzle Strike.
The rulebook has full size 8.5" x 11" pages, full color. It's 8 pages long, but only 4 of those are really rules about how to play. The rest is a FAQ about specific interactions with the chips.
