INTRODUCTION
Fantasy-Board-Wargame. 2-4 players. Lots of Recruiting.

ARMIES
Each player has seven Army tokens.
Different players should have different color tokens.

THE BOARD
The board is a 13 x 13 square track.
Each corner square of the outer track contains a Tower.
The spaces closest to the Towers are Black spaces.
Next to the Black spaces are Blue spaces.
Next to the Blue spaces are White spaces.
Next to the White spaces are Green spaces.
Next to the Green spaces are Red spaces.
The center (7th) space of each side is a Gold space.
Spaces must be large enough to hold a stack of cards.

VICTORY
You win if you have an army on all four Tower spaces.

SETUP
Each player places one Army Banner Token in one of the Towers.
Draw 4 creature cards and place them under the token.
Each player draws 2 random artifacts. 

ARTIFACTS
Artifacts stay with the player for the entire game.
Artifacts are placed face-up next to the player.

DECKS
There are 7 decks:
Magic Card Deck
Black Recruit Deck
Blue Recruit Deck
White Recruit Deck
Green Recruit Deck
Red Recruit Deck
Artifact Deck
The decks and discard piles are placed in the center of the board.
The Magic & Artifact decks contain 1 of each card in the list.
Recruit decks contain 3 of each card in the list.
The Recruit decks are face-up.
The Magic & Artifact decks are face-down.

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
Each turn has 5 phases.
Magic Phase
Travel Phase
Recruit Phase
Split Phase
Battle Phase

MAGIC PHASE
Draw 1 card from the magic deck.
Maximum hand size is 7 cards. Discard excess cards.

TRAVEL PHASE
Roll 2 six sided dice.
If you only have one army you must move it a number of spaces equal to one 
of the dice of your choice.
You may move either direction, but you must move the whole amount.
If you have 2 or more armies you must move one of your armies a number of spaces 
equal to one of the dice and another one of your armies a number 
of spaces equal to the other die.
If an army lands on an enemy army they will fight in Battle Phase.
An army may not land on a friendly army of the same player.
The army includes the army token and the cards stacked under the token.
You may look at the cards under your army tokens any time.
You may not look at the cards of opponents armies.

RECRUIT PHASE
If a moving army lands in an empty (no armies) space, you may draw the top 
card from the indicated Recruit deck and put the creature card face down under 
the token of that army.
For example, if you land on a Black space draw a card from the Black recruit deck.
If an army lands on a Gold space you get to draw one Magic Card.

SPLIT PHASE
If an army contains more than 5 cards it may split in two.
There must be an empty space adjacent to the full army.
Put another token into the adjacent space and put 2 of the cards 
from the old army under the new army.  
A player can have a maximum of 7 armies.

BATTLE PHASE
The active player is the attacker. The other player is the defender.
Reveal the cards of the two opposing armies. 
Each creature card has a force value and spell points.
If an army has 2 creatures of the same color (Black for instance) it gets 
a +1 Force bonus.
If an army has 3 creatures of the same color it gets a +3 Force bonus.
If an army has 4 creatures of the same color it gets a +6 Force bonus and so on.
If an army has 5 creatures of the same color it gets a +10 Force bonus.
The side with the most Arrow units get a +3 Force bonus.
The side with the most Regeneration units get a +3 Force bonus.
The side with the most Flying units get a +3 Force bonus.
Players may play Magic cards to increase the value of their side.
A player may play as many Magic cards as his army has spell points.
Magic Cards and creature special abilities may cause opposing creatures 
to be destroyed (discarded)
All creature special abilities can only be used during battles.
Get the total for each side.
The side with the lower total is destroyed completely.
The winning side loses no creature cards except for those that were 
destroyed by Magic & special abilities
