THE CARDS
Players share a common deck. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Each turn has 3 phases:
Orders Phase
Move Phase
Battle Phase

ORDERS PHASE
Draw 3 cards. 
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.
Max hand size = 5 cards.
Discard excess cards.

MOVE PHASE
Play (discard) a Move card to move one of your units. 
Only units on Foot can use Foot cards.
Only units on Horses can use Horse cards.
Units cannot move through other units except for the Daimyo.
The move card has a number. 
This is the number of spaces the unit moves.
Some moves are diagonal, some orthogonal, and some can be either. 
“Knight” type move cards allow a man to move like a knight in chess.
Instead of moving just one unit in any direction, you have the 
option of moving one or more units forward the indicated number of 
spaces using a single move card.

BATTLE PHASE
Play (discard) an Attack card to have a unit attack.
A unit must use an attack card that is the same as his weapon.
For Example: Archers can only use Bow & Arrow cards.
The attack card has a number. 
This is the range of the attack.
Some attacks are diagonal, some orthogonal, and some can be either. 
“Knight” type attack cards produce an attack with a range like a knight in chess.
The enemy unit that is the target of the attack is automatically 
Killed and removed from the map. 
Units cannot attack through other units except for Archers.
Your opponent may play certain Defense cards to negate your attack.
Only units with Armor may use an armor card.
The Daimyo can make two attacks per turn (using two attack cards)
