	Skybirds is a card-shedding game where players play cards (called Aces) in turn trying to beat the most recently played cards on the table. Each round of play (called Dogfights) consist of single cards, or sets of cards all of the same value (these are called Squadrons); each Squadron played must match the number of cards played at the start of the Dogfight and be of higher value than the previous played Squadron, until the Dogfight ends and the process starts again.		Skybirds is a card-shedding game where players play cards (called Aces) in turn trying to beat the most recently played cards on the table. Each round of play (called Dogfights) consist of single cards, or sets of cards all of the same value (these are called Squadrons); each Squadron played must match the number of cards played at the start of the Dogfight and be of higher value than the previous played Squadron, until the Dogfight ends and the process starts again.

	~~Once the~~ cards are dealt ~~out~~, ~~the lead player (~~whoever has Roland Garros ~~– it can be played along with any other~~ card or ~~any other~~ set of matched cards) ~~chooses~~ how many cards everyone plays ~~each~~ round (a Dogfight). Players that follow may either pass or ~~must~~ play a set (a Squadron) ~~of the same number of cards~~ with a larger ~~value~~. ~~Cards~~ with a medallion ~~on them~~ (~~the~~ 9s and ~~the 10~~) ~~are played~~ as ~~singletons and beat any Squadron regardless of~~ the ~~Squadron’s size~~. One ~~9 can~~, ~~however~~, ~~be beaten by the 10, and special powers allow players to add~~ medallions to their squad to make regular Aces even more powerful, possibly even better than the 10. In general, you cannot play runs (also known as straights, a group of sequential numbers like 2, 3, 4) but one token lets you create runs of 2 or 3 in a row and play it as the lowest valued ~~Ace in the run. '''More medallions in a squad always beats fewer (~~regardless of ~~rank), if the # of medallions is equal, then the higher ranked squad wins'''. The Dogfight ends when all but one player has passed. Then the winning player leads the next Dogfight, choosing the~~ Squadron ~~Size~~.		After cards are dealt, whoever has Roland Garros plays that card (alone or with a set of matched cards). The number of cards played (Squadron Size) sets how many cards everyone plays this round (Dogfight). Players that follow may either pass or play a set (Squadron) with Squadron Size but with a larger Squadron Value. Or they can play a Squadron with a medallion, from cards (9s and 10s) or from tokens (acquired as the game progresses). One medallion always beats none, two beat one, etc. Cards with medallions can played as singletons to beat any lower-valued Squadron regardless of Squadron size.

	~~The first person to play all their cards gets~~ to ~~take any token they’ve unlocked (i.e.~~, ~~if they have the prerequisite token in hand)~~. ~~Second place can take any token they’ve unlocked except the ones marked for 1st place only~~. ~~3rd place can’t take tokens marked for 1st and 2nd. Fourth place (or 3rd place in a 3p game) can only take the tokens worth 1VP (which have no bonus~~) ~~from the bottom of the board.~~		(If Garros is played alone to start, he wins. That player then starts a new Dogfight.)

	~~After each campaign~~, ~~you can trade in 1VP tokens for other tokens you have~~ the ~~proper prerequisites for~~. ~~Any 3rd place tokens costs 2 of these 1VP tokens, 2nd place tokens cost 3, and 1st place tokens cost 4~~.		The Dogfight ends when all but one player has passed. The winning player leads the next Dogfight, choosing the Squadron Size. The first person to play all their cards (“going out”) gets to take any token they’ve unlocked (i.e., if they have the prerequisite token in hand). The Dogfight continues until all but one player goes out, with the second-place player taking their token, then the third, etc. Second place can take any token they’ve unlocked except the ones marked for 1st place only. 3rd place can’t take tokens marked only for 1st and 2nd. Fourth place (or 3rd place in a 3p game) can only take the tokens worth +1VP from the bottom of the board.
	~~Tokens can be saved to score VP at the end of the game~~. Or, if the token ~~has a bonus, you can trigger that bonus~~. The ~~first time you use a token~~, ~~just flip it over to lower~~ the ~~VP value by 1 point. The~~ second ~~time you use it~~, ~~put~~ the ~~token back onto your player mat~~, ~~face up~~. ~~You will need to re-earn that~~ token ~~to get it back again~~. ~~Until you do, you won’t earn the VP~~ (or ~~get to use its bonus again~~) ~~and this may mean you no longer qualify to~~ take ~~a more advanced token if you no longer have~~ the ~~prerequisite~~.

	~~The final token~~, ~~the Armistice Token, requires~~ you to have ~~both~~ of ~~its prerequisite~~ tokens~~. Once someone takes that token~~, ~~the current Dogfight plays itself out, players also take a tiebreaker token (in order of finish) if they don’t already have one~~, and ~~you tally up your VP from tokens in your possession. Highest VP (including the fractional VP from tiebreaker~~ tokens~~) wins~~.		After each campaign, you can trade +1VP tokens for progress tokens you have the proper prerequisites for. 3rd place tokens costs 2 of these +1VP tokens, 2nd place tokens cost 3, and 1st place tokens cost 4.

			Tokens can be saved to score VP at the end of the game. Or, if the token has a bonus, you can choose to use it during play. The first time you use a token, flip it over to lower the VP value by 1 point. The second time you use it, put the token back onto your player mat (Aerodrome), face up. You will need to re-earn that token to get it back again. This may mean you no longer qualify to take a more advanced token if you no longer have its prerequisite.

			The final token, the Armistice Token, requires you to have both of its prerequisite tokens. Once someone takes the Armistice Token, finish the current Dogfight. Players also take a fractional VP token (in order of finish) if they don’t already have one. Tally up your VP from tokens still in your possession. Highest VP (including the fractional VP tokens) wins.

Highest VP wins~~. Ties are impossible~~.		The final token, the Armistice Token, requires you to have both prerequisite tokens. Once someone takes that, the current Dogfight play itself out, players also take a tiebreaker token (in order of finish) if they don’t already have one, and you tally up your VP from tokens in your possession. Highest VP (including the fraction VP from tiebreaker tokens) wins.

The lead player chooses how many cards everyone plays each round (called a Dogfight). Players that follow have to play a set of the same number of cards with a larger value. 9s and 10s can be played as singletons even in a Dogfight where the set size is 2 or greater.

The first person to empty their hand gets to take any token they’ve unlocked (i.e., if they have the prerequisite token in hand). Second place can take any token they’ve unlocked except the ones marked for 1st place only. 3rd place can’t take tokens marked for 1st and 2nd only. Fourth place (or 3rd place in a 3p game) can only take the booby prize tokens worth 1VP from the bottom of the board.

Tokens can be saved to score VP at the end of the game. Or, if the token has a bonus, you can trigger that bonus by putting the token back onto your player mat. You will need to re-earn that token to get the VP (or to use its bonus again) and this may mean you no longer qualify to take a more advanced token if you no longer have the prerequisite, until you win that token back again.

The final token, the Armistice Token, requires you to have both prerequisite tokens. Once someone takes that, the current Dogfight play itself out, players also take a tiebreaker token (in order of finish) if they don’t already have one, and you tally up your VP from tokens in your possession. Highest VP wins. Ties are impossible.
