'''Rumble Nation''' puts players in the role of warlords during the Sengoku era, fighting for control over 11 castles across Japan.

=== Gameplay Overview ===
The game is divided into two distinct phases: the '''Deployment Phase''' (Phase I) and the '''War Phase''' (Phase II).

=== Phase I: Deployment Phase ===
Players take turns in clockwise order until all soldier meeples have been placed on the map. On your turn, you must choose one of the following two actions:

==== 1. Deploy Soldiers ====
* '''Rolling:''' Roll all 3 dice. You may reroll all dice once per turn.
* '''Grouping:''' Divide the dice into one group of 2 dice and one single die.
** '''Location:''' The sum of the 2-dice group (2–12) determines the area where soldiers are placed.
** '''Quantity:''' The value of the single die determines the number of soldiers: 1–2 = '''1 soldier'''; 3–4 = '''2 soldiers'''; 5–6 = '''3 soldiers'''.
* '''Placement:''' You must place all allocated soldiers in the designated area. You can place them in empty areas or those already containing your own or opponents' troops.

==== 2. Use a Tactic Card ====
* Instead of rolling, you may use one Tactic Card from the available display.
* Each card can be used only '''once per game'''.
* '''Restriction:''' As soon as any player has placed all their soldiers, Tactic Cards (and Daimyo cards) can no longer be used by anyone.

==== Finishing Deployment ====
Once you have placed all your soldiers, you take the available '''Sword Chip''' with the highest value. These chips serve as the primary tie-breaker for the rest of the game.

=== Phase II: War Phase ===
Battles are resolved sequentially, starting from castle area 2 and ending at area 12.

==== Resolving Battles and Ties ====
* '''Power Calculation:''' A player’s total power in an area is the sum of their soldier meeples and any white reinforcement meeples present.
* '''Tie-Breaking:''' If two or more players have the same power, the player holding the '''higher Sword Chip''' wins the battle.
* '''Castle Tokens:''' The winner takes the Large Castle Token. In 3–4 player games, the runner-up takes a Small Castle Token (worth half the value of the large token, rounded down).

==== Reinforcement Rules ====
Winning a castle allows a warlord to expand their influence into neighboring territories:
* '''Eligibility:''' Only the winner of the Large Castle Token sends out reinforcements.
* '''Target Areas:''' Reinforcements (white meeples) must be placed in '''adjacent areas''' that still contain a Large Castle Token and where the winner already has at least one of their own soldiers.
* '''Amount:''' In 2-player games, place '''1 reinforcement''' per valid adjacent area. In 3–4 player games, place '''2 reinforcements'''.
* '''Resource Management:''' If white reinforcement meeples run out, they are taken from areas where the war has already been resolved (areas without Large Castle Tokens).

=== Advanced Rules: Daimyo Cards and Meeples ===
In the advanced game, players use 16 soldiers and one specialized '''Daimyo meeple'''.

* '''Daimyo Meeple:''' During the Deployment Phase, it is treated as 1 unit. In the War Phase, it is a powerful unit equivalent to '''2 soldiers'''.
* '''Daimyo Cards:''' Each player receives a unique card that can be activated once per game instead of a regular turn.

==== Special Daimyo Abilities ====
These unique abilities allow for powerful tactical maneuvers:
* '''Uesugi Kenshin:''' Move up to 3 of your soldiers from the Daimyo's current area to adjacent areas connected by land.
* '''Oda Nobunaga:''' Move the Daimyo to an adjacent area, optionally taking 1 soldier along.
* '''Takeda Shingen:''' Move up to 3 soldiers belonging to a single opponent from your Daimyo's area to adjacent areas.
* '''Mōri Motonari:''' Place up to 3 soldiers from your stock into areas adjacent to your Daimyo.
* '''Chōsokabe Motochika:''' Move up to 3 of your units (soldiers or Daimyo) from the Daimyo's area to adjacent areas connected by sea.
* '''Ōtomo Sōrin:''' Replace one opponent's soldier in up to two areas adjacent to your Daimyo with soldiers from your own stock.

=== Final Scoring ===
The game ends once all 11 castle areas have been resolved.
* Players sum the values of all Large and Small Castle Tokens they have collected.
* The player with the highest total score wins.
* '''Tie-Breaker:''' If scores are tied, the player with the '''higher Sword Chip''' is declared the winner.
