The game ends if:

• a player has at least 5 signets at the end of a round. This player wins.
• a player cannot play a card. The other player wins.

Abilities

Only the ability of the lower card is activated. If there is a tie, no ability is activated.

When you activate an instant ability, resolve it immediately once.

When you activate an ongoing ability, a token is placed on that card. The ongoing ability is in effect from now on.

Modifying influence

Some abilities change the influence of other cards. The corresponding duel is re-evaluated. Signets can change sides or be removed in the event of a tie. Abilities are not activated.

Locations (optional)

When creating a game table, you can optionally select a location. Each location has a rule that applies for the entire game.

Recommendation: Play both deck I and deck II without a location at first. After you have played a few games, you can vary the game with locations cards and deck II.
