== Legions (Abyss Universe) - Quick Rules Summary ==

'''Legions''' is a tactical 2-player card game set in the Abyss universe. Players compete for the throne by deploying legions to districts, recruiting heroes, and securing majorities.

=== Game Objective ===
The game ends immediately when a player controls '''5 Banners'''. Otherwise, the player with the most '''Victory Points (VP)''' wins once the decks or heroes are exhausted.

=== Quick Setup ===
* Place the '''Battlefield board''' with 5 districts between the players.
* Set the 5 '''Majority tokens''' on their neutral spaces.
* Display 5 '''Hero cards''' face-up.
* Create a Legion row of 3 cards (2 face-up, 1 face-down). Each player starts with '''3 Legion cards''' in hand.

=== Gameplay ===
The game is played over several rounds, each consisting of three phases:

==== 1. Initiative (Determining the Lead) ====
* Both players simultaneously choose one Legion card from their hand and reveal it.
* The player with the '''lowest number''' on their card takes the lead (becomes the '''1st Player'''). In case of a tie, guild priority symbols decide.

==== 2. Player Turns ====
'''Actions of the 1st Player:'''
# '''Place Legion:''' Place the card used for initiative in the matching color district on your side of the battlefield. (White Ambassador cards are wilds for any district).
# '''Recruit Hero (Optional):''' If you meet the guild icon requirements on your cards in the current district, take a matching Hero from the display. Apply their power immediately if applicable.
# '''Draw Card:''' Choose 1 of the 3 Legion cards from the row and refill your hand. Refill the row from the deck.

'''Actions of the 2nd Player:'''
# '''Place Legion:''' Same as the 1st player (place your card in the matching district).
# '''Recruit Hero (Optional):''' Same as the 1st player.
# '''Attack & Draw:''' Choose 1 of the remaining 2 Legion cards from the row. Then, you may '''undermine the opponent's morale''' (Attack): You may flip one of the opponent's cards in the district where you just played to its "routed" side (it no longer counts towards majority).

==== 3. End of Round: Majorities & Rewards ====
After both players have finished their turns, evaluate the districts:
* In each district, check which player has the '''highest total influence''' (sum of numbers on face-up cards).
* The winner takes the '''Majority token''' for that district.
* If you already hold the token and win the majority again, you trigger the '''District Effect''' (e.g., gain a Banner, VP, or a Stratagem).

=== Cards & Symbols ===

==== Legion Cards ====
* '''Number:''' Determines initiative and influence in the district.
* '''Color (Guild):''' Determines which district the card must be placed in (Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, Purple).
* '''Icons:''' Required to recruit Heroes.
* '''Reward (Bottom):''' Immediate VP or Banners when played (if shown).

==== Hero Cards ====
* Provide permanent advantages, strong one-time effects, or end-game VP.
* Recruited by matching specific guild symbols in a district.

==== Symbols & Categories ====
* '''Banners:''' Direct victory condition (collect 5).
* '''Pearls / VP:''' Victory points for final scoring.
* '''Stratagems:''' One-time use tokens with special game-changing effects.
* '''Routed Units:''' Cards flipped due to an attack. They lose their influence value but can sometimes be "rallied" or re-used via effects.

=== End of Game ===
The game ends:
# '''Immediately''' if a player gains their 5th Banner.
# When the '''Legion deck''' is empty or no more '''Heroes''' can be recruited. In this case, the player with the most total points from cards, heroes, and banners wins.
