Setup
As part of setup, you need to choose 3 cards from your hand to turn into mana, these cards won't be available to play as normal and you will never get them back
Day
A Round (called a Day) is split into several phases
Morning
Noon
Afternoon
Dusk
Night
Morning
First Player changes
Exhausted Mana and cards are readied
Draw 2 new cards
Decide if you want to turn a card into Mana (This will never return to normal)
Noon
Any At Noon Effects can trigger now
Afternoon
Each player alternates playing a card as well as taking any Quick Actions before playing a card
You can take as many Quick Actions as you like and are able to
The two Quick Actions are Exhaust a card to trigger its effect, and Discard a Reserve card to trigger its effect
To play a card, you have to exhaust a number of Mana equal to its cost, this cost depends on whether you are playing it from your hand (top left) or reserve (lower left), but sometimes these costs will be the same
As well as cost, a cards function may change depending on where it is played from, a card with an arrow triggers its effect regardless, a card with a hand only triggers when played from hand, and a card with cards only triggers when played from the Reserve
If played from Reserve, place a Fleeting marker on it to show if an effect would send it to the Reserve again, it is instead discarded
If the card played is a Spell, it is immediately resolved, then sent to the reserve where you can carry out its effects again at a later point
As an alternative to playing a card, you may Pass, you can still take Quick Actions before doing so, and then you take no more part in the Afternoon
