HAND
Players keep both Clan cards and World cards together in their hand.
Clan Decks and the World deck each keep their own discard pile.
Basic Hand size is 6 cards.
PERMANENTS
Units, Structures, Resources, and Settlements are represented by cards.
Units, Structures, Resources, and Settlements are collectively referred to as Permanents.
Units are living creatures that can attack and defend.
When put into play, permanents are kept face up in front of you.
Structures include Buildings, Roads, Walls, Vehicles, and Robots.
Resources and Buildings do not have Hits and cannot attack or be attacked.
Walls have Hits and may Block, but they cannot attack.
Walls, Vehicles, and Robots are treated like Units in Attack Phase.
RESOURCE POINTS
Use tokens to represent Resource Points (RP).
These are used to buy units and structures.
Resource points are saved from turn to turn.
HITS & DAMAGE POINTS
Use counters to keep track of Damage Points (DP)
Damage counters are placed on Units, Structures and Settlement cards.
Each Permanent has a number of Hits.
If a Permanent has equal or more DP than it has hits, it is destroyed.
EXHAUSTING CARDS
A card is turned sideways to show it is exhausted.
A card is turned right side up to show it is ready.
Exhausted Permanents cannot take actions until they are made ready.
SETUP
Each player starts with its Settlement card in play.
Each player draws 4 World cards and 3 Clan cards.
Each player starts with 20 Settlement Points.
Each player starts with 5 Resource Points.
TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
Each turn has 8 Phases:
1. Ready Phase
2. Fate Phase
3. Production Phase
4. Recruit Phase
5. Event Phase
6. Attack Phase
7. Heal Phase
8. End Phase
READY PHASE
Make all of your exhausted cards ready.
FATE PHASE
Draw 1 card from the World Deck and 1 card from your Clan Deck.
If a deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.
PRODUCTION PHASE
Gain 1 Resource Point (RP)
Each Resource card and Worker card you exhaust gains you 1 extra RP.
Play (discard) Bioslag cards for 3 RP.
RECRUIT PHASE
Most permanents have a cost in RP to play.
You may put permanents into play by paying their cost.
You may put 1 Resource card into play.
EVENT
Many Spell and Stealth cards are played in this phase.
ATTACK PHASE
You may attack with some, none, or all of your units in Attack phase.
The defending player may choose some of his units to Block.
Attacking exhausts a Unit.
Each Blocker can block only one attacker.
Multiple Blockers can block the same attacker (attacker assigns damage).
Units do Damage to each other equal to their attack scores.
If an attacker is not blocked, he does his damage to the defenders Settlement.
Units with excessive DP (greater/= to their hits) are discarded at the end of this phase.
Unblocked Workers do +3 Damage to Settlements.
HEAL PHASE
Each living unit heals 1 Hit, that is, removes 1 Damage Point.
A permanent with the Healing Ability may remove 1 DP from any target living unit.
Repairs: You may remove 1 DP from a structure or settlement by paying 2 RP.
END PHASE
Discard to maximum hand size (Base Max = 7).
LAST DITCH DEFENSE RULE
If you ever have 20 or more DP on your settlement, you may
discard 1 permanent you control to remove 1 DP from your settlement.
You may keep doing this until you run out of Permanents.
MODIFIER CARDS
These cards are attached to a target unit and remain until the Unit is destroyed.
SPELLS
Some units have spell casting ability.
You can only play a Spell card if you have one of these units in play.
STEALTH
Some units have stealth ability.
You can only play a Stealth card if you have one of these units in play.
FIRST STRIKE
A Unit with First Strike inflicts its Damage before a unit it is blocking or is blocked by.
DEFENSE BONUS
A defense bonus negates the first X Damage done to a unit during the turn.
