gameplay overview

+ Each player takes turns drafting 3 Battlers each by selecting Mastery Cards

+ Each Battler is created by combining any two Masteries (including two of the same Mastery)

+ The Masteries include: Protection, Warfare, Trickery, Nature, Magic, Alchemy, Engineering, and Spiritual

+ There is a recommended way to set-up the Draft, but players are encouraged to experiment

+ Once all six Battlers are drafted, put them into play

+ Each Battler fits onto one 5" x 7" card, so both players have 3 large cards in front of them

+ From this point forward there is absolutely no "luck" involved

+ No card drawing, no dice rolling, no hidden cards in hands, no randomness what-so-ever

+ Each Battler has 6 abilities and 5 Ability Tokens

+ Players take turns performing one Ability each.

+ Battlers can use Response abilities to defend themselves and their team

+ Ability Tokens are placed on abilities to easily track all of the abilities performed

+ A Round ends once each Battler has used all of their Ability Tokens

+ After each Round, the Ability Tokens are reset and most abilities can be used again

+ The game ends once a player loses all three Battlers

+ Most games finish in about  2 Rounds (60 total actions)

+ Experienced players will complete a game in usually about 30 minutes
