Each turn has 4 phases: Recruit Phase Event Phase Move Phase Battle Phase RECRUIT PHASE Draw 1 Unit Chit from the common pile. Keep your Chits in a pile. Units are recruited from specific Territories. If you have a Unit in an appropriate Territory, you may put a Unit Chit from your pile into play on that territory or in an adjacent territory that is empty or occupied by a unit you control. ADJACENCY RULE Units or spaces must share a common border to be adjacent. Diagonal spaces and units are not adjacent. STACKING RULE You may stack up to 4 of your units in a single space. Summoned units do not count against this limit. Units from opposing players cannot occupy the same space. EVENT PHASE Draw 1 Event card. Max hand size is 5 cards. Discard excess cards. MOVE PHASE Each unit has a number of Move Points (MP). Water units can only move on Water spaces. Land units can only move on Land spaces. Flying units may move through Water spaces. Flying units may not end their turn in a water space. Heroes and Army units may travel on water spaces if stacked with a Ship. A Hero while stacked with a Pegasus gains Flying & Move = 4. The stacking limit must be strictly enforced. Non-flying units cannot enter or move through a space containing enemy units. BATTLE PHASE You may attack adjacent enemy stacks with your own stacks. Resolve conflicts between two opposing stacks, one at a time. A turn may have multiple battles between multiple stacks. Battles are fought in Rounds. During each round, each unit, in turn, in both opposing stacks gets to attack once. Start with the Active player (Player whose turn it is) Pick which of your units is attacking, then Roll 1D6. If the roll is equal to or less than the attacking units Force, an enemy unit loses 1 hit. The defender decides which of his units is hit. A unit reduced to zero hits is destroyed. The other player then attacks and so on. This repeats until one side is completely eliminated. Women units attacking a stack containing Men units get Force +1 Instead of having a unit attack, you may play an Event card. Every time the Hydra loses 1 Hit it gets Force +1.
