No total Deck Point limit applies in Draft or Sealed. | | Each | A word that applies an instruction separately to every object or player in the stated set. | | Effect | A change to the game state or a rule-modifying instruction created by an Ability or game rule. | | Element | A characteristic used in Snatch Resolution. | | Element Advantage | A relationship in which the attacking standard Element Beats the defending Element. | | Event | A change in the game state that can cause an Ability to trigger. | | First Player Token | The token identifying the tiebreak winner and, at Setup, the player taking the first turn. | | For each | A phrase that repeats an instruction or calculates an amount once for every qualifying object or player. | | Game Draw | A game result in which no player is determined to have won under the applicable game rules. | | Game End | The point at which a Game Result is determined and no further game actions occur. | | Hand | A player’s private zone. | | Illegal | Not permitted by a rule, restriction, or currently applicable effect. | | Incite | A keyword that creates a Snatch Check without Summoning. | | Instruction | A rule or effect directive that tells a player or the game what to do. | | Last Known Information | The final public characteristics of an object immediately before it left the relevant zone. | | Legal | Permitted by all applicable rules, restrictions, and effects. | | Marking Token | A two-sided marker that identifies a Momon’s Controller. | | Momon | The current card type. | | Move | A change from one Arena Space to another without changing zones. | | Non-Active Player | The player not currently taking a turn. | | Normal Sight-Mark | A Sight-Mark that reaches the adjacent Space in its direction. | | Opponent | The other player in a two-player Game. | | Origin | A special Element that Beats and Loses to no Element. | | Owner | The player whose deck contained the card at the start of the game. | | Power | A numeric characteristic used to determine Snatch success. | | Reveal | Temporarily show a card as public information. | | Rules Text | Non-italic game instructions in a card’s Text Box. | | Sight-Mark | The property assigned to a Snatch-Sight direction. | | Snatch | A successful game event that changes a Momon’s Controller. | | Snatch Attempt | One check from an attacking Momon against one defending Momon. | | Snatch Check | The process that creates and resolves all Snatch Attempts from one attacking Momon. | | Snatch-Sight | An Owner-relative attack direction printed on or granted to a Momon. | | Source | The card or rule that created an Ability. | | State-Based Conditions | Automatic deterministic checks that apply only the corrections expressly stated in [Section 12.1](/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/abilities-and-game-state/12-state-based-conditions-illegal-actions-and-loops.md). | | Summon | A procedure that transfers a Momon from an allowed source zone to an empty legal Arena Space. A Summon is successful only when the card enters the Arena, occupies the chosen Space, and receives its Marking Token. A Turn-Based Summon is the single Summon permitted during Step 1 of the Active Player's turn. It is limited to one successful Summon per turn and includes the associated turn-based Snatch Check only when the Summon succeeds. An Effect-Based Summon is a Summon created by an Ability or other effect. It is a Summon Event when successful, creates On Summon triggers normally, and does not count as or consume the Turn-Based Summon. | | Swap | Simultaneously exchange the Arena Spaces of two Momon. | | Target | A player, game object, or Arena Space chosen for an Ability when it enters the Trigger Queue, as permitted by that Ability’s text. | | Timestamp | The time the same continuous effect first began to apply, retained while that effect continues to exist and used to order effects in one layer. | | Trait | A printed card classification that Abilities may reference. | | Trigger Queue | The first-in, first-out sequence of Triggered Abilities waiting to resolve. | | Triggered Ability | An Ability created when its stated event or condition occurs. | | Void | A player-specific zone whose cards normally enter face-down. | | Ward | A keyword that prevents a Momon from being Snatched while its Ward Token and the Ward effect granting it remain active under [Section 13.2](/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/abilities-and-game-state/13-keywords-and-timing-headers.md). | | Within 1 Space | Any Space whose Chebyshev distance from the referenced Space is exactly 1; these are the up to eight horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent Spaces. | | Loop | A repeated sequence of game events or instructions that may be Optional or Mandatory under [Section 12.4](/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/abilities-and-game-state/12-state-based-conditions-illegal-actions-and-loops.md). | | Mandatory Loop | A loop in which no player has a different Legal Choice that ends or changes the repeated sequence; after verification, it ends as a Game Draw under [Section 12.4.4](/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/abilities-and-game-state/12-state-based-conditions-illegal-actions-and-loops.md). | | Optional Loop | A loop containing an optional choice; the controlling player must declare a finite iteration limit and a different Legal Choice under [Section 12.4.2](/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/abilities-and-game-state/12-state-based-conditions-illegal-actions-and-loops.md). | | Rules-Relevant State | Rules-relevant information used to determine whether the same game state has recurred under [Section 12.4.1](/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/abilities-and-game-state/12-state-based-conditions-illegal-actions-and-loops.md). | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://momon-wonder.gitbook.io/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/examples-and-glossary/18-alphabetical-glossary.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
