HerSpiritSpeaks: there were three times strengths was spelled wrong

Try to have the strongest dragons in the home areas.

=== Playing a card ===
Players take turns playing a card into a habitat on their side of the board either face-up or face-down. They can only play cards in areas that are not full. An area is full when it has 3 cards.

When playing a card '''face up''', it must '''match suit''' with the area it is placed in. When playing a card '''face down''', it is '''not required to match suit'''. Players can only play a '''total of 3 face-down cards''' on their side of the board. After playing a card, the '''opponent must take the card on top of the area''' in which the card was just placed and add it to their hand. A new card is added to the area.

=== Compare Strengths ===
After playing a card into an area, '''compare the strengths'''. Players win an area by having the highest value of combined card value (only face-up cards) in that area. If so, move the '''claim token''' onto their side of the board. Otherwise, it stays where it is.

=== Game end ===
There are '''3 ways to end the game'''.

* If a player has '''all 5 claim tokens''' on their side of the board – '''they win''' the game immediately.

* If a player '''cannot play a card''' – '''they lose''' the game immediately.
* If the game ends by '''both sides becoming full''' – players now r'''eveal all their face-down cards''' and '''check their strengths''' in each of the 5 areas. If the revealed card matches the suit it is added to the total value, if not its discarded. The claim token is moved to the side with the highest value. But if the '''value is double (or more)''' than their opponents, the area is lost and the other player gets the claim token instead. The player with the most claim tokens wins the game.
