Rules

These are the main game rules.

Each player starts with a Deck of cards. There can be 30-50 cards in a Deck.

The game is played on an NxM Board of alternate colors, like a Chess board but not limited to just 8x8.

At first, each player draws 6 cards from his deck to form his initial hand. He can select any number of cards to discard, which are replaced and the discarded cards are shuffled back into the deck.

Then, starting with the White player, each player takes turns in order. A turn consists of playing cards or moving a piece.

Generally, only one piece can be moved each turn, though many pieces (also known as creatures) can be created on a single turn as mana provides. Creatures cannot attack or move on the turn they placed.

• Pieces can be played on the Board by using mana to case Piece Cards.
• Spells and items can also be played by spending the mana for each card.
• The player can pass the turn.
• A piece on the board can be moved. In general, this can happen only once per turn.

Some pieces can be mounted, making the combined piece stronger by combining their Attack, Health, and Abilities.

Unlike Chess, there is no notion of 'Check' or 'Checkmate'. When a King is attacked, it loses health. When the King's Health is less than or equal to zero, the player controlling that King loses the game.
