Overview
Hold a certain number of gems to win
Turn
On your turn, either Fortify, Attack, or take a Special Action
If you Fortify, play as many Fortify cards as you wish, these act as defenses against opponent attacks in various ways
If you Attack, pick a single opponent and play as many Attack cards as you wish until gems have been stolen or you stop playing attack cards
If you take a Special action, you can play a single Special card to resolve, these cannot be responded to
If you choose not to or are unable to play any card, you must discard a card instead
Outside your turn, if you are Attacked, you can choose to play Respond cards in the hopes of repelling the attack
Having no gems grants NO negative effects, if anything it will let you rebuild whilst your opponents are busy attacking one another
Game End
To start, when a player gains their 10th Gem, they win!
However, as the deck depletes, and gets reshuffled, this requirement is reduced by 1 for each reshuffle, i.e. on the first reshuffle the requirement becomes 9, on the 2nd it becomes 8 and so forth
There are no passive wins, if after a shuffle you have the required gems, you MUST still gain 1 gem, or lose 1 gem and gain one back, in order to win!
