Jerusus:

Cooperatively, all players are trying to defeat the twelve royals: the Jacks, followed by the Queens, followed finally by the Kings.

Hand Size is 8-5 for 1-4 players respectively.

==Royals==

Jacks have 10 Attack and 20 Health

Queens have 15 Attack and 30 Health

Kings have 20 Attack and 40 Health

A royal's suit blocks the use of that power against it.

==Turn Basics==

1. '''Play'''...

- Play 1 card; or

- Play a group of matching number cards; or

- Play an Ace and another card together (Aces can be played on their own too)

2. '''Activate''' the suit of the card(s) played ''(unless they match the Royal's suit, in which case the Royal blocks the activation)'':

- '''Hearts''': Return to the draw pile from the discard pile the value of the card (e.g. 4 of hearts would return 4 cards)

- '''Diamonds''': Draw cards in turn order to the value of the card, skipping players at max hand size

- '''Clubs''': Double the damage inflicted on the Royal

- '''Spades''': Reduce received damage by the value of the card for that Royal attack phase

3. Deal '''damage''' to the Royal equal to the total value of the card(s) played

4. If the Royal is still alive, they '''attack''' and you must discard cards whose value is equal or greater than the attack combined

==Other==

'''Jester''' - When played removes the suit of the royal, but no attack is performed by the player. Secondly, the next player to take a turn is chosen by the active player, rather than clockwise.

'''Exact Death''' - If a Royal is killed by an exact finishing value (e.g. a 3 when they have 3 life left) the card is placed into the player draw pile rather than being removed. Royals retain their attack value when players play them (J10, Q15, K20)

'''Yielding''' - A player may choose to pass entirely, not playing a card but skipping straight to step 4. A player may not yield if every other player has yielded on their last turn.

'''Discarding''' - Cards are only discarded once a Royal is defeated, this is mainly because any Spades played previously or by other players will stack. No other powers stack.

==Game End==

The game ends either:

'''Win''' - The final King is killed

'''Lose''' - A player is unable to defend an attack from a Royal

Jerusus: /* How to increase my reputation / what makes my reputation decrease ? */

[[Category:Help]]

== What is reputation ? ==

On '''Board Game Arena''', we would like to have a strong competitive atmosphere with a respectful and fair play ambiance.

To achieve this goal, each player has a '''reputation profile''' which is the representation of his general attitude with others players. This profile is composed of 3 items:

* Opinions from other players (http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_up.png and http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_down.png)
* % of games you finished
* % of games you finished with no clock penalties

Seeing the reputation profile of a player, you are able to check if his behavior is good, if he won't quit the game before the end, and if he respect time limits.

== How to increase my reputation / what makes my reputation decrease ? ==

At any time, you can give others players http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_up.png and http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_down.png marks.

* a http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_up.png if you liked to play with him/her, and recommend to play with this player.
* a http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_down.png if you disliked to play with him/her, and discourage others to play with this player.

You can only give a single thumb (green or red) to a single player. If your opinion changes you can click again on a thumb to reflect this change.

As soon as you give a "red thumb" to a player, a warning message is displayed when you try to join a table where this player is. In this situation it is recommended you leave the game or expel this player.

By nature, opinions are subjective. There is nothing we can do for you if you receive a "red thumb" for an unfair reason. However, we know by experience that this system has a lot of advantages and generally gives relevant and useful information.

== Advice: how to get plenty of http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_up.png ==

* Be polite! Say at least "hello" and "good luck" at the beginning of the game, and maybe "good game" ("gg") at the end of the game.
* When you need some time to think, click on "I would like to think a little" link.
* Always stay calm: it's a game.
* Don't press your opponent to play if he has some time left.
* If you really can't finish the game (this is not supposed to happen...), then say you are sorry and leave the game (don't wait to get expelled) to save your opponents time. Voluntarily disconnecting and conceding victory to the opponent does not cost you reputation like being expelled does.
* Be a good loser: if your lose because of bad luck or a strategy you dislike, don't blame the luck or your opponent (and don't give him a http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_down.png for this reason!).
* Be a good winner: if your opponent makes a mistake you can signal it to him, but avoid triumphalism and provocation.

== What are the consequences of a bad reputation ? ==

A bad reputation makes you suspect to your potential opponents. You will have to explain your situation, and maybe some players won't take the risk to play with you.

It is also possible to filter players by reputation on a table. The worse your reputation is, the bigger difficulties you will have to find opponents.
