One turn, three connected decisions

Play. Resolve. Draft.

A turn is quick to learn, but every choice changes the board and the cards both players may see next.

  1. 01 Planning

    Commit a card

    Play at least one card from your hand into its matching area. You can also use eligible abilities on cards already in play. Resolve each card and ability before continuing.

  2. 02 Influence

    Shift the balance

    Compare strength in all three areas. In each one, the stronger player gains the difference. Their rival’s influence is removed first; any points left over are added to their own side.

  3. 03 Draft

    Shape both hands

    Look at the top three cards and keep one. Your rival chooses from the two you leave behind, and the final card is discarded face down.
