Tribe

Tribe (種族 Shuzoku) is a parameter that intended as a way to split Z/X cards into several groups.

Each Z/X has at least one tribe, while Event and Player cards does not have any. Generally, a tribe always belong to a single color although there are some exceptions such as cards with two tribes (e.g. "Devil of Box, Feles"). While tribe does not have any significance to the rules, a card ability may refer to certain tribe, giving them some kind of supports.

On the card text, tribe is always written inside [ ] (square brackets).
