!!The in-universe game of Card Force contains examples of:
* AliceAllusion: The Wonderland theme is an obvious reference to ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'', containing such cards as Mad Hat, White Rabbit, Mimsy Borogove, Cheshire Cat, and of course the Queen of Hearts.
* AutoRevive: Shadow Chain attaches to and lets you revive your ''opponent'''s cards. The trick, of course, is to pick a card you can destroy repeatedly, draining your opponent's Energy through the unit's Bond.
* BackFromTheDead: As expected, there are cards that can bring units back from the discard pile.
** Wonderland Roses allows the revival of any Wonderland unit.
** Cherry Blossom Rebirth has no type restriction, but is a higher Tier card and so harder to cast.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: Wonder Mushroom is an attachment card that lets a player flip a coin as combat begins to either double the attached unit's Strength or Defense on heads, or halve both on tails.
* EquivalentExchange: Several cards allow the user to draw at the cost of allowing their opponent to draw. Greed's Shadow is the most common, allowing the user to draw three cards and their opponent(s) to draw one.
* ExactWords: "Send X to the graveyard" is not the same thing as "destroy X". The owner doesn't lose Energy equal to the unit's Bond, and it doesn't trigger any "when this is destroyed" or "when this destroys X" effects.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Some cards have eyes where they shouldn't be. Revel has a few such cards.
* FanCommunityNicknames: InUniverse, players of Card Force are called Enforcers.
* LightIsNotGood: Revel uses a Strange Light deck filled with otherworldly monsters, like glowing beings, strange visitors from other dimensions, and strange glowing things from beyond the void.
* MagicalGirl: The Mahou Shoujo theme is all about magical girls, naturally. They tend to have effects reminiscent of ThePowerOfFriendship, either directly growing stronger with each Mahou Shoujo card in play, or else buffing every Mahou Shoujo card with an added effect.
* OneHitKill: Naturally, there are cards that can instantly destroy other cards without regard to Strength or Defense. Off With Her Head is a Craft card that allows its controller to destroy any Unit once per turn.
* PowerEqualsRarity: The game doesn't seem to have a formally-defined rarity system like real [=TCGs=] usually do, but certain very powerful cards are printed in incredibly low numbers. It's rumored that there are ten or less of Dark Vortex Dragon in existence.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The Adoraborb, whose name is short for "adorable bird orb", is exactly what its name makes it sound like.
* QuantityVsQuality: A Unit needs a Tower of a certain height (the unit's Tier) to be summoned. Since Towers are built from Crafts, and can support only one Unit each, a player has the choice between building many short Towers so they can summon many weak Units, or building fewer tall Towers so they can summon bigger Units.
* {{Synchronization}}: All summoned units have a Bond stat representing their link to their summoner. If a unit is destroyed, its summoner loses Energy equal to the unit's Bond. [[NecessaryDrawback Powerful cards tend to have a high Bond]].

->''Card Force is the world's most popular trading card game. Able to bring cards to life with magic, it's won the hearts of people the world over. But young Fletcher Aldaine soon discovers some darkness behind the magic. When a group called The Peppermint Knights recruits him to help save people in need, will they be able to unravel the game's mysteries?''
''Card Force Infection'' is a WebSerialNovel by [=KiraHeartilly36=] [[https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3344549/1/ on FictionPress]]. Inspired by ''Franchise/YuGiOh'', this story takes the "card games are SeriousBusiness because magic" concept to its logical extreme by having the central card game publicly acknowledged in-universe as a work of magic from the very beginning.
!The in-universe game of Card Force contains examples of:
* AliceAllusion: The Wonderland theme is an obvious reference to ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'', containing such cards as Mad Hat, White Rabbit, Mimsy Borogove, Cheshire Cat, and of course the Queen of Hearts.
* AutoRevive: Shadow Chain attaches to and lets you revive your ''opponent'''s cards. The trick, of course, is to pick a card you can destroy repeatedly, draining your opponent's Energy through the unit's Bond.
* BackFromTheDead: As expected, there are cards that can bring units back from the discard pile.
** Wonderland Roses allows the revival of any Wonderland unit.
** Cherry Blossom Rebirth has no type restriction, but is a higher Tier card and so harder to cast.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: Wonder Mushroom is an attachment card that lets a player flip a coin as combat begins to either double the attached unit's Strength or Defense on heads, or halve both on tails.
* EquivalentExchange: Several cards allow the user to draw at the cost of allowing their opponent to draw. Greed's Shadow is the most common, allowing the user to draw two cards and their opponent to draw one.
* ExactWords: "Send X to the graveyard" is not the same thing as "destroy X". The owner doesn't lose Energy equal to the unit's Bond, and it doesn't trigger any "when this is destroyed" or "when this destroys X" effects.
* FanCommunityNicknames: InUniverse, players of Card Force are called Enforcers.
* MagicalGirl: The Mahou Shoujo theme is all about magical girls, naturally. They tend to have effects reminiscent of ThePowerOfFriendship, either directly growing stronger with each Mahou Shoujo card in play, or else buffing every Mahou Shoujo card with an added effect.
* OneHitKill: Naturally, there are cards that can instantly destroy other cards without regard to Strength or Defense. Off With Her Head is a Craft card that allows its controller to destroy any Unit once per turn.
* PowerEqualsRarity: The game doesn't seem to have a formally-defined rarity system like real [=TCGs=] usually do, but certain very powerful cards are printed in incredibly low numbers. It's rumored that there are ten or less of Dark Vortex Dragon in existence.
* {{Synchronization}}: All summoned units have a Bond stat representing their link to their summoner. If a unit is destroyed, its summoner loses Energy equal to the unit's Bond. [[NecessaryDrawback Powerful cards tend to have a high Bond]].
!The story contains examples of:
* AllThereInTheManual: The full details of how any given card works will be glossed over in the story in favor of the immediate effect on the game state, but the author maintains [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/19_rJaGV2k8K0QAk4nW7hmQ-J07Gn4QVzxyHtJm0A_jA/edit a list]] of every card and their full rules text.
* ArtifactOfDoom: Infected cards break the power curve, but mess with their owner's mind, causing them to act unnaturally hostile. Concerningly, nobody seems to know where they come from -- they just seem to show up in people's decks out of the blue. The Peppermint Knights seek out these cards and win them in duels so they can destroy them. [[spoiler:The Blade of the Nephilim prefer putting the infected players into comas.]]
* DuelsDecideEverything: {{Justified|Trope}} when it comes to infected players; part of the {{curse}} of the infection is that they must accept, and they and anyone they play against will be magically compelled to abide by any terms of victory declared before the match. Even if they don't have their deck on hand, the curse will summon it for them. [[spoiler:Even if they're so far gone that they're ''stabbing people'', they'll be forced to sit down and play.]]
* NotSoDifferent: Very subtly -- when explaining why he [[spoiler:made Fletcher wager his entire deck as stakes for a duel]], Maxwell says he had to act decisively because "people like '''us''' don't just give up easily".
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Someone acting unusually is a good sign that they've picked up an infected card.
* ShootTheDog: Destroying an infected card doesn't remove the infection from the person, only stops it temporarily. Given this, [[spoiler:the Blade of the Nephilim opt to put infected players into comas to take them out of action indefinitely.]] Whether this is a good or bad thing is a ''major'' point of contention.
* StolenGoodReturnedBetter: Not long after [[spoiler:Maxwell takes Fletcher's entire deck for winning their first duel]], the deck is returned with several powerful new cards added, including a rare Tier X card. This turns out to be a prelude to [[spoiler:recruiting Fletcher for the Peppermint Knights]].
* TheseusShipParadox: Fletcher has used "the same" deck since he first got into Card Force shortly after his parents divorced, though numerous little changes over the years mean that it doesn't actually have any of the same cards it had then. [[spoiler:Losing it to Maxwell]] is directly compared to "sinking the Ship of Theseus".
* {{Touche}}: Erica tries to reassure Jimmy that he bears no responsibility for [[spoiler:Fletcher losing his entire deck trying to defend him]] because "We chose to get involved." Jimmy just says that if they can choose to get involved, so can he. Erica admits she can't argue with that.
* {{Transgender}} Naota is genderfluid.
