Most important are the advantages you and your opponents can gain in the card game itself, mostly by elemental alignment and how they relate to various yaku.

Extra Cards: To the left are Extra Cards that can be drawn at any time to supplement your score, but only one can be played, and always at some cost or consequence. How many appear depend on different conditions, such as relative difficulty or purchase requirements. Keep in mind that your opponent always has one less cards than you, so if you put another one in play, their extra card has to come from somewhere, too. However unlike you, their extra card cannot be a duplicate card. Your Extra Card may be one that is already captured, currently in play, or soon to appear from the draw pile, but you need not worry that theirs will be a card you'd already accounted for.
These cards are semi-randomly drawn dependent on the opponent's class or predominant element, so you often see the same cards against the same types of situations or opponents.
Initial Torifuda: To the right, where cards that you and your opponent have captured are placed, can include extra cards from the beginning of the round. These will be overlaid in green to indicate they haven't actually been captured, but their points are still applied to your score. Capturing the same cards won't increase points, but capturing cards that supplement your combo will. You may also capture cards just to steal them from your opponent. Either way, the captured card will light up in its usual color to show that it's no longer in play.
Extra Cards not spent one round will appear here the next; unused Extra Cards may be more benefit in later rounds than in the round they appeared.
Defense: Defense is only a factor in challenges that feature an opponent, but an important one. This is the threshold of points your opponent has to capture in order to score against you. Your opponent has defense too, and until either of you can meet the quota in points, the round will go on. This doesn't mean that Defense reduces the points when they are sufficient enough to win the round.
In Serious Seeding, your Defense is a measure of how you withstand the pleasure a Heroine scores against you. The Heroine doesn't have Defense; what she has is a quota of 999 pleasure points you must score.
Attack: Attack is also only really a factor in challenges against an opponent, though your opponent's attack may be more a factor than your own. Attack is added to the score value of any combos, and with a high enough Attack value, a single capture can make Defense value worthless.
Point Quota: The number underneath the ★6, which is the difficulty, is the number of points you must score to succeed. Out of all the difficulty modifiers you can acquire, this one is non-negotiable; whether you enter a ★6 hunting ground with 3 Hunt ability or 12, you face a 30 point quota. This gives the opponent a great advantage; they don't have a point quota to meet so they don't have to score big, they only have to score to eliminate you from the round. If you are unable to score at least 30 points by the end of the 3rd round, you fail.
Vulnerabilities: Any opponent can have vulnerabilities to certain yaku, which will score bonus points against them. Vulnerabilities are indicated by lighting the associated symbol in the upper right. Taking advantage of these are critical when you face large point quotas in order to triumph. Some of these are obvious by their elemental nature; a being of Flame (Red) is likely to be vulnerable to Ice (Blue). In Serious Seeding, you have some limited control over which sexual stimulus a Heroine will become more sensitive to.
Support: Along the bottom are icons indicating the support you have for this round. These may be bonuses to overall ability, or any of the 6 basic stats that can modify the game, or the addition of an elemental attack. More explanation of these are in sections on Quests and Serious Seeding.
The remaining stats displayed, Pow, Treasure, Seed and Life, don't directly affect the card game, and will be explained in Quest and Serious Seeding sections.
