Villain cards and Hero cards both have extremely high ability numbers, and are designed to oppose one another. Only Neopets of the matching base species can transform into the Experienced Neopet role, so, for example, only a Jubjub could turn into a Jubjub Engineer, while a Mynci could not. The Experienced Neopet cards consist of both a Neopet species and an occupation, e.g.

An Experienced Neopet has higher attributes, and often has helpful special abilities that influence various part of the game. The Experienced Neopet is much like an evolved Pokémon in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Basic Neopets never have a printed score higher than 10, or lower than 1. Each of these is given a value, with a higher number denoting a greater power or skill in a given category. The cards list four abilities or attributes, which are: strength, agility, intelligence, and magic. The Basic Neopet cards are the foundation of the game, and are based on the creatures from the Neopets website. The various Neopets cards are divided into categories that affect gameplay in different ways. Winning a competition during a player's own turn allows the player to bank or draw a card banking enough cards of sufficient value eventually leads to victory. These Neopets compete against opposing Neopets in four different arenas: Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Magic. Players start with a single Neopet on the first turn, moving up to three by the third turn. Each card may have only 3 copies included. Most deck-building articles suggest a limit of 2-3 species for the Basic Neopets, along with a minimum of 20 Item and/or Equipment cards (essentially half of the deck). Neopets TCG is a two-player game, where each player has a play deck of at least 40 cards and a separate deck of at least 10 Basic Neopets.
