THE CARDS
Players share a common deck. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Each turn has 3 phases:
1. Fate Phase

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

The move card has a number. 
This is the number of spaces the unit moves.
Moves can be diagonal or orthogonal. 
“Knight” type move cards allow a unit to move like a knight in chess.
Instead of moving just one unit in any direction, you have the 
option of moving 2 or 3 units forward the indicated number of 
spaces using a single move card.
Units cannot move through other units.

FIRE PHASE
Play (discard) an Attack card to have a unit attack.
The attack card has a number. 
This is the range of the attack.
Attacks can be diagonal or orthogonal. 
“Knight” type attack cards produce an attack with a 
range like a knight in chess.
Every attack does a base of 1 Damage (Target loses 1 Hit). 
Use Chits or coins to record damage.
A unit reduced to 0 Hits is killed or incapacitated and 
removed from the board.
Your opponent may play Defense cards to negate your attack.
Units cannot attack through other units.
