Overview

Hold a certain number of gems to win

Turn

On your turn, either Fortify, Attack, or take a Special Action

If you Fortify, play as many Fortify cards as you wish, these act as defenses against opponent attacks in various ways

If you Attack, pick a single opponent and play as many Attack cards as you wish until gems have been stolen or you stop playing attack cards

If you take a Special action, you can play a single Special card to resolve, these cannot be responded to

If you choose not to or are unable to play any card, you must discard a card instead

Outside your turn, if you are Attacked, you can choose to play Respond cards in the hopes of repelling the attack

Having no gems grants NO negative effects, if anything it will let you rebuild whilst your opponents are busy attacking one another

Game End

To start, when a player gains their 10th Gem, they win!

However, as the deck depletes, and gets reshuffled, this requirement is reduced by 1 for each reshuffle, i.e. on the first reshuffle the requirement becomes 9, on the 2nd it becomes 8 and so forth

There are no passive wins, if after a shuffle you have the required gems, you MUST still gain 1 gem, or lose 1 gem and gain one back, in order to win!
