CFV stands for "Cardfight!! Vanguard," a Japanese collectible card game developed by Bushiroad. It was first introduced in Japan in 2011 and has now gained popularity worldwide. CFV involves players using decks of cards to simulate a battle between two players (Vanguards) and their armies. The game mechanics revolve around managing resources, planning strategies, and utilizing the unique abilities and powers of the cards to defeat the opponent's Vanguard.
In CFV, players construct their decks by choosing specific cards that synergize well and complement their preferred playstyle. Each player starts with a deck of fifty cards and a life total of six damage points. The objective is to reduce the opponent's life points to zero while protecting one's own Vanguard. CFV features various types of cards, including units, triggers, and various spells and effects.
The game is played with a combination of skill, strategy, and luck. Players can perform actions such as attacking, defending, guarding, and activating abilities during their turn. Each turn consists of several phases, allowing players to draw cards, play units, perform attacks, and trigger different effects.
CFV has expanded over the years with the release of numerous expansions and sets, introducing new cards, mechanics, and strategies. It has also gained a strong competitive scene with organized tournaments and events both offline and online. CFV appeals to players who enjoy tactical decision-making, deck building, and the excitement of a card-based battle.
