Overview

Play cards to manipulate your and your opponents' displays, but careful not to exceed 25 in card and token values


Turn

First, draw a card either from the deck or the discard

Then with the cards now in hand, you can either play a card or discard a card

If you play a card, it can either be played face up or face down

If you want to play a card face up, you have to be able to fully resolve it, otherwise it cannot be played this way

If you play a card face down, its effect is ignored and so is its value, but you can always check your facedown cards

If you have exceeded 25 in faceup cards and tokens, you self-eliminate

If you play an effect which causes another player to exceed 25 in faceup cards and tokens, you eliminate them and score 1VP

If you meet exactly 25, you end the round and score 1VP


Round End

The round can end in a number of ways

If a player has a value of 25 in their display, they gain 1VP

If all but one player have been eliminated, the remaining player gains 1VP

If the deck is depleted, the player with the highest value below 25 gains 1VP

A new round commences with the player who most recently gained a VP


Game End

The game ends immediately when a player gains their 3rd VP, they win!
