Gordoz: /* Expansion Rules: Xeno Invasion (with Invasion) */

== Rules for the Base Game ==

Players control competing civilizations exploring space, discovering planets to conquer or settle, building an economy by consuming a planet's goods and building developments. The object of the game is to earn the most victory points from planets and developments played in their tableau, from consuming goods, and from bonuses from special developments.

There are five phases to choose from: explore, develop, settle, consume and produce. Players pick one phase per turn (two phases in a two-player game). Then everyone plays only the chosen phases in phase order. Players who chose that phase get an extra benefit. At the end of each round, players with more than 10 cards discard down to 10 and a new round begins.

The game continues until any player has 12 cards in their tableau, or when the VP pool is exhausted. At the end of that round points are added up. The player with the most points is the winner!

In case of a tie, the player with the most goods on the board plus cards in hand wins.

Cards may generally be played into your tableau by "paying" for them by discarding other cards. For instance, a planet of cost 3 (the large number) requires you to discard 3 cards to place it. (The smaller number next to it in the hexagon is the number of VPs you earn from having that card in your tableau.)
Cards may not be played into your tableau if you already have a card of the same name in your tableau.

There are 2 main types of cards. Diamonds are developments. Circles are planets.
There are different types of planets:
* Production: A colored circle indicates that this planet generates the corresponding good during the production phase.
* Windfall: A white circle with a colored ring indicates that this planet generates a good immediately upon settling, but not during production.
* Non-producing worlds: Gray worlds never produce goods.
* Military: A red ring indicates that a planet cannot be settled by paying for it: instead, you need a sufficient military force (the red +X number present on some cards). No discards are needed in this case.

'''Summary of Phases'''
* Explore = draw 2 cards; keep 1, discard the other
* Develop = place and pay for a development
* Settle = place and pay for a world, receiving any windfall good as indicated
* Consume = use consume powers if possible, typically to discard goods for VPs. Note that once a consume power is activated, you must exhaust it (e.g. if you have 3 Novelty Goods, then if you trigger Consumer Markets to consume the first good, then the other two must also be consumed on Consumer Markets). To consume a good in the BGA interface, click on the world with the good, and then click on the world with the consume power.
* Produce = place a good on each world without a good that produces one

Most cards indicate bonuses for certain phases; these are activated once they are in your tableau.

'''Phase Bonuses'''
These are the bonuses you gain for choosing each phase:
* Explore = draw 5 additional cards OR draw 1 additional card and keep 1 additional card
* Develop = discard 1 less card when paying for the development
* Settle = draw 1 card after settling a world
* Consume = Gain double victory points for consumed goods OR trigger a trade phase prior to Consume, which allows you to discard a good to draw cards equal to its trade value
* Produce = Produce a good on one windfall world that does not already have a good

Note that in two-player games it is possible for one player to trigger both phase bonuses in Explore or Consume (e.g. in Explore, to draw 6 extra cards and keep 2), but the phase only happens once. It is not possible to trigger Produce twice. It is possible to trigger Develop or Settle twice, in which case the phase happens twice in a row.

'''Summary of Goods'''
* Yellow = Alien Tech (trade value = 5)
* Green = Genes (4)
* Brown = Rare Elements (3)
* Blue = Novelty Goods (2)

== Expansion Rules: The Brink of War ==

===Prestige===

'''Gaining Prestige:'''
* Playing a card with a purple prestige symbol next to its point value provides 1 prestige to the owner when it is played.
* Various card powers provide prestige, typically as a result of taking another action, such as goods consumption. (Note: the Consume x2 action bonus does NOT double prestige gained using consume powers)

'''Prestige Leader:'''
At the end of each phase, if one player has more total prestige than any other player, they take control of the Prestige Leader tile. The Prestige leader can also change hands immediately when a prestige leader spends prestige for an action, causing them to lose the lead. The prestige earned by the new leader in that phase and any subsequent phase while they remain prestige leader is counted as being ''on the tile''.

At the start of each round, if the leader has prestige ''on the tile'', they remove all the prestige from the tile (it remains part of their personal supply) and receive 1 VP chip and 1 card. If the prestige leader has no prestige ''on the tile'' (because they didn't earn any new prestige in the last round), then they receive only the 1 VP chip and no cards.

When there is a tie for the prestige leader, none of the tied players collect prestige ''on the tile'', but all tied players will earn 1 VP chip at the start of the round.

'''Prestige at Game End'''
Each prestige chip is worth 1 VP at game end.
If a player has 15 or more prestige at the end of a round, the end of the game is triggered.

===Prestige Search/Action Bonuses===

Once per game, each player can use their prestige bonus card for ''either'' a search bonus OR an action bonus.

'''Search Bonus''':
A search bonus costs no prestige to use. Any player(s) declaring a search will get to execute the search action before any other phase is resolved in that round. The searching player first declares one of the 9 search categories. Then cards are revealed from the deck until a card matching the chosen category is found. The searching player can choose to take that card into their hand (ending the search action), or continue searching for a second matching card. If they continue to search for a second card, the second matching card ''must'' be taken, and the search ends.

'''Search Categories''' (Visual aid: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/693945/race-galaxy-brink-war)
* Developments that provide +1 or +2 military (ignore temporary or specialized military)
* Military Windfall worlds with 1 or 2 defense
* Windfall worlds with 1 or 2 cost
* Worlds (of any type) with a chromosome symbol (green X)
* Windfall or Production worlds that produce Alien goods (ignore other alien cards)
* Cards with Consume powers that consume 2 or more goods
* Military worlds with 5 or more defense
* 6-cost Developments
* Cards with settle takeover or defense powers (can only be chosen if takeover rules are on)

'''Prestige Action Bonus''':
A prestige action bonus costs 1 prestige to use. The player may then choose an enhanced bonus for their phase selection. (In a 2-player game, the player may select a second phase as normal)

'''Prestige Bonus Options'''
* Explore: draw +13 (into hand), discard 11 (keep +2)
* Explore: draw +9 (into hand), discard 6 (keep +3)
* Develop: -3 cost
* Settle: -3 cost and +2 military, draw card after settling
* Consume: Sell one good with +3 card draw AND 2x points for other goods consumed AND discard 0-2 cards for 1 VP each
* Consume: 3x VP for all goods consumed
* Produce: Draw 3, produce 2 windfall goods

== Expansion Rules: Xeno Invasion (with Invasion) ==

The Xenos are invading! In addition to building your empire, you must defend yourself from the Xenos every round. This is a standalone expansion, only played with the base game.

All Explore phases have the 'mix with hand' power.

In the first round, Settle is already selected.

'''Xeno Invasion'''

In the third round, the Xenos start attacking.
* After discarding for hand size, each player is given an Invasion card with the strength of the attacking Xenos. Players with a higher military vs Xenos get higher values
* To defend, military vs Xenos + defense vs Xenos must exceed (not just tie) the Invasion value
* Settle powers may be used for extra military. Each player has a Bunker, which lets you discard a card for 2 defense vs Xenos
* If you defend, you get 1 or 2 VP (weaker players get more)
* If you don't defend, you select a world to be damaged. Damaged worlds lose their good, are worth 0 VP, and have no powers or keywords, but count towards tableau size.

The invasion has 3 waves. Wave 1 and Wave 2 are 2 rounds each (in 2 player game: 1 round each). Wave 3 is until the end of the game
* Wave 1 invasion values: -1 to 4
* Wave 2 invasion values: 0 to 7
* Wave 3 invasion values: 3 to 9, your base military + 3/4/5
Invasion strength is a RANDOM value in the ranges given above.

'''Produce changes'''

Produce has several changes.
* At the start of Produce, each player may contribute goods to the war effort. Each good contributed gives you 1 VP and reduces the Xeno repulse value by 1
* Repair damaged worlds by discarding 2 cards from hand, or 1 good, or using a repair power
* Produce has a second option: "Produce: Repair". Instead of producing on a windfall world, repair 2 worlds

'''Endgame'''

There are 2 new endgame conditions
* The Xenos are defeated! The Xenos are defeated when the combined military vs Xenos of all players matches or exceeds the Xeno repulse value. No final invasion happens
* All players fail to defend vs invasions twice. No bonus for Greatest Admiral or Greatest Contributor are given out.

Endgame bonuses
* Greatest Admiral = 5 VP for largest military vs Xenos
* Greatest Contributor = 5 VP for most goods contributed to war effort

Note:
* Military vs xenos: For settling worlds with Xeno, contributes to defeating Xenos, counts when determining strength for Invasion cards
* Defense vs Xenos: only counted when defending each round

== New Worlds ==

Race for the Galaxy: New Worlds Promo is a set of 6 new start worlds. They can be added to any game (base game or expansions).
* Star Nomad Raiders
* Industrial Robots
* Galactic Trade Emissaries
* Terraforming Colonists
* Abandoned Mine Squatters
* Gateway Station

Gordoz: /* HEXES & HEX ROWS */

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack and post-attack abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose not to make the attack, the activation ends immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
# Spend the Manipulation (blue) Core to Move 1 and Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
# Spend the Creation (yellow) Core to Move 1 and Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
# Spend the Destruction (red) Core to Move 1 and Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This damage ignores defence.
# Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation or Destruction, to Move 2.
==== Reactions ====
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
<pre>NOTE THAT:
* Reaction cards are played by players, not Champions.
* Reactions can target any of a player’s Champions, not just the Champion whose card is being played.
* Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
* A player cannot play more than one Reaction card per attack action, even if more than one Champion is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction during an AoE attack, a player must choose which of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
* When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull, or Fear, the target of the Reaction card is the Champion causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.</pre>

<pre>For example, the player controlling Tzu Xiao decides to move him 2 hexes. They then choose to activate his skill. They declare 3 targets in melee range, at an orientation of their choice. They resolve the skill box and apply the effect on the declared targets.</pre>

=== CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY ===

==== Upkeep Phase ====
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means a Champion cannot be moved, it does not negate movement. As the target cannot move, any Push or Pull distance will cause as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a Champion suffering root, but do not cause, as neither keyword usually causes damage for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes. A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain in the same hex row.</pre>

team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack and post-attack abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose not to make the attack, the activation ends immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
# Spend the Manipulation (blue) Core to Move 1 and Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
# Spend the Creation (yellow) Core to Move 1 and Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
# Spend the Destruction (red) Core to Move 1 and Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This damage ignores defence.
# Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation or Destruction, to Move 2.
==== Reactions ====
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
<pre>NOTE THAT:
* Reaction cards are played by players, not Champions.
* Reactions can target any of a player’s Champions, not just the Champion whose card is being played.
* Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
* A player cannot play more than one Reaction card per attack action, even if more than one Champion is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction during an AoE attack, a player must choose which of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
* When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull, or Fear, the target of the Reaction card is the Champion causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.</pre>

<pre>For example, the player controlling Tzu Xiao decides to move him 2 hexes. They then choose to activate his skill. They declare 3 targets in melee range, at an orientation of their choice. They resolve the skill box and apply the effect on the declared targets.</pre>

=== CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY ===

==== Upkeep Phase ====
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means a Champion cannot be moved, it does not negate movement. As the target cannot move, any Push or Pull distance will cause as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a Champion suffering root, but do not cause, as neither keyword usually causes damage for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).</pre>

their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.

# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s

Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.

# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the

Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent

==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one

activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
# Spend the Manipulation (blue) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
# Spend the Creation (yellow) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
# Spend the Destruction (red) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
# Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction, to Move 2.
==== Reactions ====
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
<pre>NOTE THAT:
* Reaction cards are played by players, not Champions.
* Reactions can target any of a player’s Champions, not just the Champion whose card is being played.
* Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
* A player cannot play more than one Reaction card per attack action, even if more than one Champion is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction during an AoE attack, a player must choose which of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
* When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull, or Fear, the target of the Reaction card is the Champion causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.</pre>

<pre>For example, the player controlling Tzu Xiao decides to move him 2 hexes. They then choose to activate his skill. They declare 3 targets in melee range, at an orientation of their choice. They resolve the skill box and apply the effect on the declared targets.</pre>

=== CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY ===

==== Upkeep Phase ====
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means a Champion cannot be moved, it does not negate movement. As the target cannot move, any Push or Pull distance will cause as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a Champion suffering root, but do not cause, as neither keyword usually causes damage for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).</pre>

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack and post-attack abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose not to make the attack, the activation ends immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
# Spend the Manipulation (blue) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
# Spend the Creation (yellow) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
# Spend the Destruction (red) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
# Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction, to Move 2.
==== Reactions ====
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
<pre>NOTE THAT:
*Reaction cards are played by players, not Champions.
*Reactions can target any of a player’s Champions, not just the Champion whose card is being played.
*Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
*A player cannot play more than one Reaction card per attack action, even if more than one Champion is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction during an AoE attack, a player must choose which of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
*When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull, or Fear, the target of the Reaction card is the Champion causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.</pre>

<pre>For example, the player controlling Tzu Xiao decides to move him 2 hexes. They then choose to activate his skill. They declare 3 targets in melee range, at an orientation of their choice. They resolve the skill box and apply the effect on the declared targets.</pre>

=== CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY ===

==== Upkeep Phase ====
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced

draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack and post-attack abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose not to make the attack, the activation ends immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
# Spend the Manipulation (blue) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
# Spend the Creation (yellow) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
# Spend the Destruction (red) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
# Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction, to Move 2.
==== Reactions ====
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
<pre>NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions, not just the Champion whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or Fear, the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.</pre>

<pre>For example, the player controlling Tzu Xiao decides to move him 2 hexes. They then choose to activate his skill. They declare 3 targets in melee range, at an orientation of their choice. They resolve the skill box and apply the effect on the declared targets.</pre>

=== CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY ===

==== Upkeep Phase ====
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means a Champion cannot be moved, it does not negate movement. As the target cannot move, any Push or Pull distance will cause as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a Champion suffering root, but do not cause, as neither keyword usually causes damage for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).</pre>

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack and post-attack abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose not to make the attack, the activation ends immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
<pre>NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions, not just the Champion whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or Fear, the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.

<pre>For example, the player controlling Tzu Xiao decides to move him 2 hexes. They then choose to activate his skill. They declare 3 targets in melee range, at an orientation of their choice. They resolve the skill box and apply the effect on the declared targets.</pre>

=== CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY ===

==== Upkeep Phase ====
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means a Champion cannot be moved, it does not negate movement. As the target cannot move, any Push or Pull distance will cause as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a Champion suffering root, but do not cause, as neither keyword usually causes damage for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).</pre>

Gordoz: /* PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK */

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack and post-attack abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose not to make the attack, the activation ends immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions, not just the Champion whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

<pre>For example, the player controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2 hexes. They then choose to activate his skill. They declare 3 targets in melee range, at an orientation of their choice. They resolve the skill box and apply the effect on the declared targets.</pre>
=== CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY ===

==== Upkeep Phase ====
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means a Champion cannot be moved, it does not negate movement. As the target cannot move, any Push or Pull distance will cause as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a Champion suffering root, but do not cause, as neither keyword usually causes damage for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain

Gordoz: /* Standard Actions */

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose not to make the attack, the activation ends immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions, not just the Champion whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

<pre>For example, the player controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2 hexes. They then choose to activate his skill. They declare 3 targets in melee range, at an orientation of their choice. They resolve the skill box and apply the effect on the declared targets.</pre>
=== CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY ===

==== Upkeep Phase ====
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means a Champion cannot be moved, it does not negate movement. As the target cannot move, any Push or Pull distance will cause as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a Champion suffering root, but do not cause, as neither keyword usually causes damage for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).</pre>

ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING

cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.

Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

==== Upkeep Phase ====
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means a Champion cannot be moved, it does not negate movement. As the target cannot move, any Push or Pull distance will cause as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a Champion suffering root, but do not cause, as neither keyword usually causes damage for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).</pre>

Gordoz: /* DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT */

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose not to make the attack, the activation ends immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

==== Upkeep Phase ====
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means a Champion cannot be moved, it does not negate movement. As the target cannot move, any Push or Pull distance will cause as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a Champion suffering root, but do not cause, as neither keyword usually causes damage for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

Gordoz: /* Standard Actions */

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose not to make the attack, the activation ends immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

==== Upkeep Phase ====
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final

7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s

Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose not to make the attack, the activation ends immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her Fireball, Gwaien targets 1 Enemy Champion in a range of min 2 and max 3 hexes from her.</pre>
<pre>For example, with his Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao targets 1 Enemy Champion that is up to 2 hexes away from him in the same row of hexes.</pre>

=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

Gordoz: /* PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK */

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose not to make the attack, the activation ends immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
# Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.

=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects
that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11</pre>
=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

Gordoz: /* Movement */

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.

When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks

=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects
that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11</pre>
=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects
that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11</pre>
=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

Gordoz:

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects
that deal damage.</pre>

<pre>For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11</pre>
=== Standard Actions ===
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

=== ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK ===
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
=== OUT OF ACTION ===
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
=== LEVELING UP ===
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
=== TRAPS ===
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
==== Trap Effects ====
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

=== DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT ===
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

=== HEXES & HEX ROWS ===
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
<pre>Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects
that deal damage.</pre>

For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11
Standard Actions
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
1
2
3
4
2
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
OUT OF ACTION
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
LEVELLING UP
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
TRAPS
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
Trap Effects
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

HEXES & HEX ROWS
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
=== ACTION CARD ANATOMY ===

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose
not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects
that deal damage.</pre>

For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11
Standard Actions
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.

Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
OUT OF ACTION
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
LEVELLING UP
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
TRAPS
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
Trap Effects
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

HEXES & HEX ROWS
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

Gordoz: /* GAME ROUND */

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
==== Scoreboard Phase ====
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
==== Activation Phase ====
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

==== Movement ====
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
=== PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK ===
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
# Resolve any abilities.
# Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
# Declare target(s).
# Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
# The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
# Resolve attack damage.
# Resolve abilities from Reactions.
# Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
ACTION CARD ANATOMY

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
==== Indirect Shot ====
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
==== Direct Shot ====
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
==== Area of Effect (AoE) ====
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
==== Reactions are played ====
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
==== Resolve attack damage ====
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
==== Skills ====
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
# Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
# Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose
not to, the activation ends immediately.
# Declare target(s), if necessary.
# Resolve the text box of the skill card.
<pre>NOTE THAT: Defence values do not help against effects
that deal damage.</pre>

For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11
Standard Actions
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.

Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
OUT OF ACTION
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
LEVELLING UP
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
TRAPS
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
Trap Effects
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

HEXES & HEX ROWS
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

Gordoz: /* Resolving a card */

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction (red), Creation (yellow), or Manipulation
(blue). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.

==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.

==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
Scoreboard Phase. The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
Activation Phase. Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
1) Scoreboard Phase
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
2) Activation Phase
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

Movement
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Resolve any abilities.
3. Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
4. Declare target(s).
5. Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
6. The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
7. Resolve attack damage.
8. Resolve abilities from Reactions.
9. Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
ACTION CARD ANATOMY

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
Indirect Shot
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
Direct Shot
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
Area of Effect (AoE)
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
Reactions are played
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
Resolve attack damage
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
Skills
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose
not to, the activation ends immediately.
3. Declare target(s), if necessary.
4. Resolve the text box of the skill card.
NOTE THAT:
Defence values do not help against effects
that deal .

For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11
Standard Actions
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
1
2
3
4
2
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
OUT OF ACTION
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
LEVELLING UP
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
TRAPS
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
Trap Effects
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

HEXES & HEX ROWS
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.
8
==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
Scoreboard Phase. The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
Activation Phase. Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
1) Scoreboard Phase
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
2) Activation Phase
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

Movement
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Resolve any abilities.
3. Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
4. Declare target(s).
5. Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
6. The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
7. Resolve attack damage.
8. Resolve abilities from Reactions.
9. Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
ACTION CARD ANATOMY

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
Indirect Shot
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
Direct Shot
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
Area of Effect (AoE)
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
Reactions are played
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
Resolve attack damage
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
Skills
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose
not to, the activation ends immediately.
3. Declare target(s), if necessary.
4. Resolve the text box of the skill card.
NOTE THAT:
Defence values do not help against effects
that deal .

For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11
Standard Actions
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
1
2

2
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
OUT OF ACTION
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
LEVELLING UP
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
TRAPS
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
Trap Effects
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

HEXES & HEX ROWS
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

Gordoz: /* Strength and Damage */

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction ( ), Creation ( ), or Manipulation
( ). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.
==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage, whilst others will state the strength of the attack. Strength is always reduced by the defence of the target,
whilst damage is applied directly to the target, ignoring any defence.

==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.
8
==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
Scoreboard Phase. The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
Activation Phase. Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
1) Scoreboard Phase
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
2) Activation Phase
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

Movement
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card

are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next

The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon

Area of Effect (AoE)
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
Reactions are played
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).

Resolve attack damage
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
Skills
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper

specific targets, and have targeting icons like

2. Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose
not to, the activation ends immediately.
3. Declare target(s), if necessary.
4. Resolve the text box of the skill card.
NOTE THAT:
Defence values do not help against effects
that deal .

For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.

Standard Actions
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions

Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and

2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.

By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
OUT OF ACTION
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
LEVELLING UP
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
TRAPS
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
Trap Effects
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

HEXES & HEX ROWS
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

Gordoz: /* The First Rule */

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

=== WINNING THE GAME ===
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

=== HOW TO DRAFT ===
==== Casual Draft ====
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

==== Competitive Draft ====
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

=== BASIC CONCEPTS ===
==== The First Rule ====
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
==== Enemies and Allies ====
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
==== Objective of the Game ====
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
==== The Three Cores of Magic ====
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction ( ), Creation ( ), or Manipulation
( ). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.
==== Towards and Away ====
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
==== Strength and Damage ====
Some cards and effects will deal damage ( ), whilst
others will state the strength ( ) of the attack.
is always reduced by the defence ( ) of the target,
whilst is applied directly to the target, ignoring any
defence.
==== Resolving a card ====
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.
8
==== Targeting ====
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
==== Drawing Cards ====
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
=== GAME ROUND ===
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
Scoreboard Phase. The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
Activation Phase. Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
1) Scoreboard Phase
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
2) Activation Phase
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

Movement
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Resolve any abilities.
3. Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
4. Declare target(s).
5. Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
6. The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
7. Resolve attack damage.
8. Resolve abilities from Reactions.
9. Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
ACTION CARD ANATOMY

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
Indirect Shot
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
Direct Shot
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
Area of Effect (AoE)
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
Reactions are played
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
Resolve attack damage
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
Skills
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose
not to, the activation ends immediately.
3. Declare target(s), if necessary.
4. Resolve the text box of the skill card.
NOTE THAT:
Defence values do not help against effects
that deal .

For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11
Standard Actions
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
1
2
3
4
2
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
OUT OF ACTION
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
LEVELLING UP
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
TRAPS
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
Trap Effects
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

HEXES & HEX ROWS
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
Enemies and Allies
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
Objective of the Game
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
The Three Cores of Magic
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction ( ), Creation ( ), or Manipulation
( ). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.
Towards and Away
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
Strength and Damage
Some cards and effects will deal damage ( ), whilst
others will state the strength ( ) of the attack.
is always reduced by the defence ( ) of the target,
whilst is applied directly to the target, ignoring any
defence.
Resolving a card
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.
8
Targeting
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
Drawing Cards
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
GAME ROUND
PLAYER TURN
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
Scoreboard Phase. The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
Activation Phase. Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
1) Scoreboard Phase
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
2) Activation Phase
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

Movement
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Resolve any abilities.
3. Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
4. Declare target(s).
5. Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
6. The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
7. Resolve attack damage.
8. Resolve abilities from Reactions.
9. Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
ACTION CARD ANATOMY

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
Indirect Shot
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
Direct Shot
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
Area of Effect (AoE)
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
Reactions are played
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
Resolve attack damage
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
Skills
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose
not to, the activation ends immediately.
3. Declare target(s), if necessary.
4. Resolve the text box of the skill card.
NOTE THAT:
Defence values do not help against effects
that deal .

For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11
Standard Actions
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
1

2
Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
OUT OF ACTION
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
LEVELLING UP
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
TRAPS
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
Trap Effects
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

HEXES & HEX ROWS
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

Gordoz:

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player chooses a deployment area, and places the First Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their favourite Champions to play with, or draft Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base rings of their color of choice and add them to their Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their Champions and shuffles them together to form their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the Challenge Track, then draw another and place it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board. The first player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2 trap hexes of their choice, without looking at them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck. They may discard any number of those cards and draw a new card for each card they discarded. Then all discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards from their draw deck and discards the same way as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

WINNING THE GAME
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

HOW TO DRAFT
Casual Draft
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

Competitive Draft
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

BASIC CONCEPTS
The First Rule
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
Enemies and Allies
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
Objective of the Game
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
The Three Cores of Magic
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction ( ), Creation ( ), or Manipulation
( ). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.
Towards and Away
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
Strength and Damage
Some cards and effects will deal damage ( ), whilst
others will state the strength ( ) of the attack.
is always reduced by the defence ( ) of the target,
whilst is applied directly to the target, ignoring any
defence.
Resolving a card
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.
8
Targeting
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
Drawing Cards
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
GAME ROUND
PLAYER TURN
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
Scoreboard Phase. The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
Activation Phase. Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
1) Scoreboard Phase
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
2) Activation Phase
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

Movement
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Resolve any abilities.
3. Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
4. Declare target(s).
5. Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
6. The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
7. Resolve attack damage.
8. Resolve abilities from Reactions.
9. Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
ACTION CARD ANATOMY

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
Indirect Shot
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
Direct Shot
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
Area of Effect (AoE)
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
Reactions are played
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
Resolve attack damage
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
Skills
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose
not to, the activation ends immediately.
3. Declare target(s), if necessary.
4. Resolve the text box of the skill card.
NOTE THAT:
Defence values do not help against effects
that deal .

For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11
Standard Actions
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.

Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
OUT OF ACTION
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
LEVELLING UP
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
TRAPS
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
Trap Effects
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

HEXES & HEX ROWS
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

=== START OF GAME ===

# Randomise which player goes first. That player
chooses a deployment area, and places the First
Player Token next to their Gate.
# Players decide if they wish to freely choose their
favourite Champions to play with, or draft
Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base
rings of their color of choice and add them to their
Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion
cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
# Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their
Champions and shuffles them together to form
their draw deck.
# Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge
card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the
Challenge Track, then draw another and place
it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no
trophy symbol).
# Place the victory and damage tokens at the side
of the board at the reach of players.
# Place all the traps face down beside the board.
The first player places traps face down on 2 trap
hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
# The second player places traps face down on 2
trap hexes of their choice, without looking at
them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty
trap hexes on the board.
# The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from
their draw deck. They may discard any number
of those cards and draw a new card for each card
they discarded. Then all discarded cards are
shuffled back in the draw deck.
# Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards
from their draw deck and discards the same way
as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled
back in the draw deck.
# The first player places their Champions onto
unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
# The second player places their Champions onto
unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

WINNING THE GAME
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

HOW TO DRAFT
Casual Draft
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

Competitive Draft
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

BASIC CONCEPTS
The First Rule
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
Enemies and Allies
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
Objective of the Game
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
The Three Cores of Magic
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction ( ), Creation ( ), or Manipulation
( ). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.
Towards and Away
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
Strength and Damage
Some cards and effects will deal damage ( ), whilst
others will state the strength ( ) of the attack.
is always reduced by the defence ( ) of the target,
whilst is applied directly to the target, ignoring any
defence.
Resolving a card
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.
8
Targeting
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
Drawing Cards
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
GAME ROUND
PLAYER TURN
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
Scoreboard Phase. The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
Activation Phase. Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
1) Scoreboard Phase
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
2) Activation Phase
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

Movement
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Resolve any abilities.
3. Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
4. Declare target(s).
5. Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
6. The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
7. Resolve attack damage.
8. Resolve abilities from Reactions.
9. Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
ACTION CARD ANATOMY

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
Indirect Shot
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
Direct Shot
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
Area of Effect (AoE)
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
Reactions are played
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
Resolve attack damage
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
Skills
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose
not to, the activation ends immediately.
3. Declare target(s), if necessary.
4. Resolve the text box of the skill card.
NOTE THAT:
Defence values do not help against effects
that deal .

For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11
Standard Actions
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.
1
2

Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
OUT OF ACTION
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
LEVELLING UP
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
TRAPS
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
Trap Effects
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

HEXES & HEX ROWS
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).

START OF GAME

1 Randomise which player goes first. That player
chooses a deployment area, and places the First
Player Token next to their Gate.
2 Players decide if they wish to freely choose their
3 favourite Champions to play with, or draft
Champions using the casual draft or competitive
draft rules (see page 7). Players take the base
rings of their color of choice and add them to their
Champions to form a team. They then place their
team on their player Gate, and their Champion
cards and 3 cores of magic, one of each color on
their player board.
3 Each player takes the 3 Action decks for their
Champions and shuffles them together to form
their draw deck.
4 Shuffle the Challenge cards. Draw a Challenge
card and place it in the leftmost 1VP slot on the
Challenge Track, then draw another and place
it in the Cannot Be Scored slot (the one with no
trophy symbol).
5 Place the victory and damage tokens at the side
of the board at the reach of players.
6 Place all the traps face down beside the board.
The first player places traps face down on 2 trap
hexes of their choice, without looking at them.
7 The second player places traps face down on 2
trap hexes of their choice, without looking at
them. There should now be 4 traps and 2 empty
trap hexes on the board.
8 The first player draws a hand of 5 cards from
their draw deck. They may discard any number
of those cards and draw a new card for each card
they discarded. Then all discarded cards are
shuffled back in the draw deck.
9 Then the second player draws a hand of 5 cards
from their draw deck and discards the same way
as the first player. Discarded cards are shuffled
back in the draw deck.
10 The first player places their Champions onto
unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.
11 The second player places their Champions onto
unoccupied hexes in their deployment area.

WINNING THE GAME
The first Player to reach 5 VP immediately wins
the game.

HOW TO DRAFT
Casual Draft
The Casual draft uses the following process:
1. Form a common pool of unique Champions,
with a minimum of 6.
2. The second player drafts 1 Champion.
3. The first player drafts 1 Champion.
4. The second player drafts a second Champion.
5. The first player drafts a second Champion.
6. The second player drafts a third and final
Champion.
7. The first player drafts a third and final Champion.
8. Each player should now have a team of 3
Champions. Return any remaining Champions
to the game box.

Competitive Draft
The competitive draft uses the following process:
1. Each player brings 5 different Champions that
they choose before the game or tournament.
2. The first player chooses 1 of the second
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
3. The second player chooses 1 of the first
player’s Champions. This Champion cannot be
drafted this game.
4. Starting with the first player, players alternate
turns and choose 1 of their Champions each
time to add to their team, until they have a
team of 3 Champions.
5. Each player now has a team of 3 drafted
Champions, and 2 Champions that will not be
used in this game.

BASIC CONCEPTS
The First Rule
If the effect of a card directly conflicts with one or
more rules in this document, the text on the card
takes precedence.
Enemies and Allies
Miniatures represent great warriors from Fabulosa’s
turbulent history, and are referred to as Champions.
Champions under your opponent’s control are
referred to as Enemies. Your own Champions are
called Allies. Note that when a Champion’s card
effect refers to Allies or an Ally, it does not include
the Champion to whom the card belongs.
Objective of the Game
Victory Points (VPs) represent the favour of the
crowd, that will decide the victor in the Brawl. The
first player to score 5 VPs wins immediately. This is
done by taking Enemy Champions out of action, and
by completing challenges on the Challenge Track.
The Three Cores of Magic
All magic, and indeed all energy in Fabulosa, is
intrinsically tied to one of the three Cores of Magic:
Destruction ( ), Creation ( ), or Manipulation
( ). Whenever a player uses any type of Action,
they exhaust (flip over) their connection to one of
these Cores, and must wait until the end of their turn
until they are ready to be used again.
Towards and Away
When an effect instructs a Champion to move
towards a game element, the moving Champion
must end its move with fewer hexes between it and
the game element it is moving towards than it did
before starting the move, if possible. If this is not
possible, the Champion will not move.
When an effect instructs a Champion to move away
from a game element, the moving Champion must end
its move with more hexes between it and the game
element it is moving away from than they were before
starting the move. If this is not possible, the Champion
will not move.
Strength and Damage
Some cards and effects will deal damage ( ), whilst
others will state the strength ( ) of the attack.
is always reduced by the defence ( ) of the target,
whilst is applied directly to the target, ignoring any
defence.
Resolving a card
When resolving a card, if a card cannot be fully
resolved, forfeit the part that cannot be resolved.
8
Targeting
Unless a card says otherwise, Champions can only
target Enemy Champions. Area of Effect (AoE) attacks that include an Enemy Champion in the AoE
fulfil this condition, even if an Ally is also in the AoE.
Open and Hidden Information
Each player’s hand is hidden information, and should
not be shared with another player unless a game
effect instructs a player to do so. When a card effect
asks a player to show something, all players may
see the revealed information.
Each player’s discard pile is open information.
Players can ask to see their opponent’s discard pile
at any time. Both sides of any Champion cards are
also open information, and a player can ask to see
either side of a Champion card at any time. When a
card effect asks a player to look at something, only
that player may see the revealed information.
Drawing Cards
If a player is instructed to draw cards from an empty
deck, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new
draw deck.
GAME ROUND
PLAYER TURN
Each round consists of three steps: First player’s turn,
Second player’s turn, and Advance Challenge Track.
ON A TURN, PLAYERS CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
PHASES IN ORDER:
Scoreboard Phase. The active player checks to see
if they meet the conditions of any active Challenge
cards. If they do, they gain the appropriate number
of VPs, and discard that Challenge. Skip this Phase
on the first round.
Activation Phase. Players exhaust Cores to play Action
cards from their hand and activate their Champions.
Upkeep Phase. The active player readies each of their
Cores, discards their hand and draws a new hand of
5 cards.
1) Scoreboard Phase
During their Scoreboard Phase, the active player
checks if they currently meet the scoring conditions
of any active Challenges. Challenges are the key
to victory. Completing a Challenge earns a player
a number of VP tokens equal to the VPs based on
the Challenge card’s position on the Challenge
Track. Discard any scored Challenges. Because
Challenges are scored at the beginning of a player’s
turn, their opponent will always have a turn to try
and stop them from scoring. Of course, Challenges
cannot be scored during the first round.
2) Activation Phase
The attacker suffers Fear 2.
Many sailors chose to throw themselves overboard
at the sight of The Grave Robber’s sails.
Intimidation

During a turn, players may activate Champions by
playing Action cards that belong to that Champion,
or by using standard Actions. Players may play cards
in any combination, and as many as they like, as long
as they have the matching Core ready in order to play
it. Most Action cards allow Champions to move and
resolve an attack or a skill explained in that card’s
text box. Champions may be activated more than
once per turn as long as the appropriate Core can
be exhausted to pay for it. An Action card must be
completely resolved before the same player may
play another.

Movement
Champions may move up to the
number of hexes indicated by the
value on the Action card. Note
that they do not have to move the full distance,
or indeed move at all. Hexes containing Statues
or Enemies are blocked, and Champions cannot
normally move through or end their movement in
them. Champions may move through, but not end
on, hexes containing Allies. Champions can move
into hexes containing trap tokens, but this will
usually result in the trap being triggered and that
Champion suffering the trap’s effects (see Traps,
page 12). If a Champion has a movement bonus, it
is applied to each Action card and Standard Action
used to activate them, but only if the Action card
has a printed value.
9
When an effect requires a player to Place a Champion, it is removed from its current hex, and placed in
the new location. This is not considered movement.
Attacks
PRE-ATTACK AND POST-ATTACK
Pre-attack ( ) and post-attack ( ) abilities
are effects that take place when an attack
card with either symbol is played. Both abilities
are mandatory. If a card instructs a player to
resolve a or ability, then it must be
fully resolved before moving on to the next
step of the attack.
The key difference between the two is that a
player may play a card with a ability, and
then choose not to attack, whereas a
ability is only ever resolved after an attack
is made. Note that these abilities can be part
of a reaction card.
Note that many keywords have numerical
values, so can be legally resolved by choosing
0, effectively cancelling the effect.
Every Action card with the attack icon
in the upper left corner of the card is an
attack card. To resolve an attack, follow
these steps:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Resolve any abilities.
3. Choose if you will use the attack. If you choose
not to make the attack, the activation ends
immediately. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
4. Declare target(s).
5. Opponent chooses whether to play Reactions.
6. The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value of the attack.
7. Resolve attack damage.
8. Resolve abilities from Reactions.
9. Resolve abilities from the attack card.
Declare target(s)
Check the range and targeting icons to determine
which targeting rules apply for the attack. Some
attacks have a minimum range, and any Enemy
closer than that range is not an eligible target.
ACTION CARD ANATOMY

The dark grey hex in the targeting box marks the
relative position of the attacking Champion to the
targeted hex(es), marked on the card in yellow.
Melee Attack
A melee attack targets a single adjacent
Enemy.
Indirect Shot
An indirect shot targets a single Enemy.
The targeting value shows the maximum range of the Action. When one
figure is specified the targeting value shows the
maximum range of the Action. When two figures are
indicated, the first specifies the minimum and the
second the maximum range of the Action. To define
range, count the smallest possible number of hexes
to the target, including the target’s hex but not the
activating Champion’s hex. Indirect shots can target
Champions through Statues and other Champions.
Direct Shot
A direct shot works like an indirect
shot with some extra restrictions.
Direct shots may only target Enemies
on hexes in the same row of hexes as the attacking
Champion. Additionally, direct shots cannot target
Champions if there are any Statues, or other Champions (Enemy or Ally) in that hex row between the
activating Champion and target.
Area of Effect (AoE)
An AoE attack affects all Champions in the
yellow marked hexes shown in the targeting
icon of the Action card (including Allies).
The player playing the Action chooses the exact
orientation of the AoE.
Reactions are played
After targets are declared, the controller of an Enemy
target Champion may play one Reaction card on any
of their Champions targeted. The Core of the Reaction
card must be exhausted as normal. Only one Reaction
may be played per attack (see Reactions, page 11).
The target’s defence value is subtracted from
the current strength value
All Champions have a defence value. Even if a
Champion’s printed defence value is 0, it can still be
modified by card effects.
During this step, the current defence value of the
defender is subtracted from the current strength
value of the attack. Remember to include any
modifiers to strength and defence values in this
step. Defence values are always applied to every
attack made against the Champion, unless reduced
or bypassed by a card effect. The end sum of this is
the attack damage.
Resolve attack damage
The attack damage is dealt to all targets of the attack.
Place on the Champion card damage tokens equal
to the damage the Champion is dealt. Keywords that
affect damage such as Poison, Double, and Lifesteal
are resolved in this step (see page 15).
Skills
Most Champions have one or more skill
cards, denoted by the skill icon in the upper
left corner of the card. Some skills affect
specific targets, and have targeting icons like
attacks. When a player activates a Champion using a
skill card, they resolve these steps in order:
1. Use as much of the card’s movement as you
choose.
2. Choose if you will use the skill. If you choose
not to, the activation ends immediately.
3. Declare target(s), if necessary.
4. Resolve the text box of the skill card.
NOTE THAT:
Defence values do not help against effects
that deal .

For example, with her
Fireball, Gwaien targets
1 Enemy Champion in a
range of min 2 and max
3 hexes from her.
For example, with his
Challenge Attack, Tzu Xiao
targets 1 Enemy Champion
that is up to 2 hexes away
from him in the same
row of hexes.
11
Standard Actions
In addition to using their hand of Action cards,
players may also activate Champions using the
Standard Actions shown on the player dashboard.
These Actions are intentionally weaker than Action
cards, but they offer some options when a player
does not draw the Cores and/or cards of Champions
they need.
Each Standard Action may only be used once per
Activation Phase.
1. Spend the Manipulation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Plan 1 (see Plan, page 16).
2. Spend the Creation ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Heal 1 (see Heal, page 15).
3. Spend the Destruction ( ) Core to Move 1 and
Deal 1 damage to an adjacent Enemy. This
damage ignores defence.
4. Spend 1 Core, Manipulation or Creation
or Destruction , to Move 2.
Reactions
During an opponent’s turn, players can
react to their opponent’s attacks by playing
Reaction cards. Reactions may only be
played during the opponent’s turn and
only when at least one of that player’s Champions is
targeted by an opponent’s attack action.
NOTE THAT:
Reaction cards are played by players, not
Champions. Reactions can target any of a
player’s Champions,not just the Champion
whose card is being played.
Reactions can never be used to react to a skill action.
A player cannot play more than one Reaction card
per attack action, even if more than one Champion
is targeted by the attack. When playing a Reaction
during an AoE attack, a player must choose which
of their Champions will be targeted by the Reaction.
When Reaction cards cause effects like Push, Pull,
or , the target of the Reaction card is the Champion
causing that effect. The target of the effect itself is
noted on the Reaction card. Some Reactions may
cause an Enemy to be taken out of action. When this
happens, the Champion who played the Reaction card
will Level Up if possible, and the player will gain 1 VP.

Deal to each target until
they are Bloodied.
By the time Tzu Xiao's opponents saw
him, it was already too late.

For example, the player
controlling Tzu Xiao
decides to move him 2
hexes. They then choose
to activate his skill. They
declare 3 targets in melee
range, at an orientation
of their choice. They
resolve the skill box
and apply the effect on
the declared targets.
CHAMPION CARD ANATOMY

3) Upkeep Phase
During their Upkeep Phase, players ready their
Cores so that they are available during their
opponent’s turn. This means that a player will always
have all their Cores available to play Reactions
against their opponent’s Actions. It is important to
note that any exhausted Cores will not be available
on the player’s next turn, so they won’t be able to
play cards of that colour.
They then discard any cards that remain in their
hand, and draw a new hand of 5 cards.

ADVANCE CHALLENGE TRACK
At the end of each game round (after all players have
taken a turn), all Challenge cards move one space to
the right, and a new Challenge card is drawn. This is
placed in the Cannot Be Scored space. Challenges
moving right from the rightmost space are discarded
(move them to the Challenge discard pile). If at any
point your Challenge card deck empties, shuffle the
discard pile to form a new Challenge deck.
OUT OF ACTION
A Champion is taken out of action as soon as they
suffer an amount of damage equal to or greater than
their hitpoint value (as printed on their Champion
card). If during their activation a Champion takes
an Enemy out of action, the attacking Champion’s
player gains 1 VP, and the attacking Champion
Levels Up. The out of action Champion is teleported
by the wizards out of harm’s way and is healed. All
damage is removed from the Champion, and if they
had Levelled Up, flip their Champion card back over
to the basic side. The out of action Champion is then
placed on their team’s Gate until they are activated
again.
Whilst Champions are on the Gate, they cannot be
affected by card effects, can never be targeted by
Actions or attacks, and cannot target Champions on
the hex grid.
To activate an out of action Champion, the player
must use an Action with to move that Champion
back into the arena. The first hex of movement must
be spent moving the Champion onto one of their
team’s deployment area hexes.
Out of action Champions may not be activated using
Action cards without . Once in the arena, they
may use any remaining movement to move further,
and complete the Action.
If during their activation a Champion takes themselves
or an Ally out of action, their opponent gains 1 VP.
If a card takes a Champion from each team out of
action simultaneously, both players gain 1VP and
Level Up the appropriate Champions. If this would
end the game in a draw (due to both players now
being tied with 5 or more VPs), the player who didn’t
play the card wins.
LEVELLING UP
When an Enemy is taken out of action, the Champion
currently being activated will Level Up after the
Action is fully resolved. Flip that Champion card, and
move any damage tokens to the Levelled Up side.
The Champion uses the stats and effects of the
Levelled Up side until they are taken out of action.
If the Champion was already Levelled Up before the
knock out, then nothing happens. Please note that
Level Up effects are always active.
TRAPS
Some hexes contain trap tokens. Traps
are always placed face down. A trap will
trigger as soon as a Champion enters the
hex in which it is placed. It doesn’t matter
if the Champion deliberately moved
there or was pushed, pulled, or otherwise displaced
onto that hex. The player controlling the Champion
that activated the trap flips the trap token and applies
the effect to the Champion. The Champion may then
complete any remaining movement they have
available, unless prevented from doing so by the trap
effect.
There should always be 4 trap tokens on the map.
As soon as a trap is triggered and its effects applied,
the player whose Champion triggered the trap takes
a new trap token from the supply. Without looking at
it, the player places it face down on a different empty
trap hex, then shuffles the old trap back into the trap
supply. If all trap hexes are blocked by Champions
and/or traps, the trap token may be placed anywhere
adjacent to a trap hex that is not blocked by a
Champion or Statue. In addition to the trap hexes on
the board, any hex that currently contains a trap is
considered a trap hex.
If the trap was triggered because of a card effect
(for example when a Champion uses an attack
that pushes the defender into a trap), the damage
is considered to be caused by the source of that
effect. This may result in Levelling Up Champions as
normal.
Trap Effects
The Champion suffers the amount of damage
indicated on the trap token. Remember, this
damage ignores the defence value.
The Champion
suffers Root.
The Champion
suffers Stun.

DISPLACEMENT AND ROOT
Fear, Force, Pull, and Push are all considered
displacement effects. Effects that negate displacement effects will negate any damage
those effects would cause.
It is important to note that while Root means
a Champion cannot be moved, it does not
negate movement. As the target cannot
move, any Push or Pull distance will cause
as normal. Fear and Force cannot move a
Champion suffering root, but do not cause
, as neither keyword usually causes damage
for failing to complete the movement.

HEXES & HEX ROWS
The arena board is made up of a series of hexes.
A continuous line of hexes is called a hex row.
This is a hex row.
This is not a hex row.
Example:
Gold’arr makes a Dash 2. He can move along any of
the hex rows shown, but cannot move out of the hex
row due as the Dash keyword states he must remain
in the same hex row (see Dash, page 15).
