The Dragon player draws 3 cards from the Dragon Deck.
If a deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it.
Maximum hand size is 7 cards. Discard excess cards.
SLAYER PHASE
The party may attack the Dragon.
To make an attack, an attack card must be discarded from the players hand.
The party may make multiple attacks.
There must also be one party member alive who can make the attack.
For example: To make a spell attack the party must have at least one Wizard.
Both Warriors & Men-at-Arms may make Sword Attacks.
A party member may make only one attack per turn.
For example: If you have 2 Wizards you could make 2 spell attacks per turn.
Each attack does a base of 1 point of damage to the Dragon.
Some cards indicate they do a base 2 points of damage.
Warriors inflict an additional point of damage when they attack.
Some artifacts increase the amount of damage done by an attack.
The Dragon player may block an attack by discarding a Blocking
Card that targets the attack type.
For example: The Dragon player may discard a ‘Magic Resistance’ card to
negate a spell attack.
DRAGON PHASE
The Dragon may attack the party.
To make an attack, an attack card must be discarded from the players hand.
The Dragon may make multiple attacks.
The Dragon may only use one attack type once per turn.
For example: The Dragon may not make 2 Firebreath attacks in one turn.
The Dragon may only use one body part to make one attack type once per turn.
For example: The Bite and Firebreath attacks are both ‘Mouth’ attacks so
only one may be used.
The Slayer player may block an attack by discarding a Blocking Card that
matches the target type.
For example: The Slayer may discard a ‘Shield’ card to negate an attack vs a
Warrior or a Man-at-Arms.
Each attack targets one party member.
Dragons must attack Men-at-Arms first.
After all the Men-at-Arms are killed the Dragon may attack Warriors next.
After all the Warriors are killed the Dragon may attack Archers & Wizards.
