Is there some sort of way to "play" a competitive card game with the Amiibo cards?

I was looking over the Amiibo Cards, and noticed that they all have some traits, the sort of thing you'd expect to find in Pokemon/YuGiOh/etc. etc. etc.

Each card has:
A dice (with a number 1-6)
A hand representing Rock/Paper/Scissors
And then their set number and name.

For instance, on Octavian, in addition to his cute self, has the following traits: a 2 on the dice, Scissors, and his biographical info.

I'm wondering, is there some sort of game already in place to play with these in some way? Some friends and I have already had some cool ideas, like making a deck of 30 or so, and then revealing the top card of the deck, playing Rock Paper Scissors with their symbol, and so on.

The symbols are for Amiibo Festival mini games. I don't think there's any sort of TCG for them, though.

You could draw them and play rock, paper scissors but that's all I've come up with so far lol. And yeah, the symbols are for Amiibo Festival which I still have very little clue as to what the games about besides the mario party esq maps.

ye the die numbers and rock paper scissors are for amiibo festival.

but if you collect lots of cards and get a fair few doubles u could always play a competitive game of snap !!

You could play a Rock, Paper, Scissors game and use the dice numbers as a multiplier. So if you had a card with a 6 and rock, and your opponent had a 2 and paper, you'd still beat them (much like in the Battle StreetPass game, if you have more than twice the number of soldiers your opponent has you still beat them, even if they are super-effective against you).

So Rock 3 beats Paper 1, but Paper 6 beats Scissors 2, and Scissors 5 beats Rock 2.
And Paper 3 beats Rock 5, Rock 2 beats Scissors 3, and Scissors 4 beats Paper 6.
You'll still get draws sometimes, but not as often as in straight Rock, Paper, Scissors.

I don't think snap would work - you'd need a lot of cards, and a LOT of time!
