HIGH FORM RULES

Terminology

Pieces are ranked in order: common, heroic, legendary. Upgrade and downgrade mean changing the rank of a piece. A higher ranked piece may count (for summoning or tasks) as if it were of lower rank.

A move is one square in any direction (including diagonals). A leap is from any square to any other. A standard move/leap is permitted onto any empty square or one occupied by a piece of a lesser rank. A combat move/leap is permitted onto any empty square or one occupied by a piece of the same or lesser rank.

Any piece previously occupying the destination square of a valid move/leap is destroyed. You may destroy your own pieces.

Setup

Each player receives 3 cards from their personal deck, plus 2 Legendary Beings and one flare from the common decks. Four cards are drawn for the task queue. The first three are available, the fourth not yet available. Three tasks of the same type may not be active at once (BGA automatically enforces this rule).

Turns

Each player takes two of the following actions per turn:

  1. Place a common piece on an empty square
  2. Summon a being
  3. Discard a card

In addition, before or after any action, a flare may be played, if one or both of its conditions are met.

Once a turn is over:

  1. You may claim one task card and earn its VPs if you meet its conditions.
  2. If necessary, replenish your hand from the appropriate decks and update the task queue. (Automated on BGA.)

Playing a Flare

Each flare lists two numbers: X/Y. The top effect may be activated if a player has X fewer upgraded pieces on the board than their opponent; the bottom effect if they have Y fewer pieces in total on the board. Effects activate in top-to-bottom order.

Summoning

If your pieces are in the formation on a Being’s card (in any orientation or mirror image), you may summon the piece given in the card’s top left via a combat leap onto the white square in the pattern. For most beings, the white square is empty, but some require a piece of your own to be present in the square. Once the Being is summoned, resolve the effects listed on its card.

The patterns for Legendary Beings require one or more heroic piece. Each legendary piece on the board earns 1 VP. Each player can have a maximum of 3 legendary pieces on the board. If one is destroyed, 1 VP is lost.

Discarding

Once per turn a player may discard a card. They may also return as many other cards as they like (regular cards, legends, flares) to the bottom of their decks. Once the turn is over they replenish their hand as usual.

Running Out of Pieces

If a player needs to place a piece and has no more in stock, they must pick up one from the board before placing the new piece.

Game End and Scoring

When one player scores 9 points or draws the last card from their own deck, game end is triggered. Everyone plays one more turn, including the player who triggered endgame. If their score decreases below 9 due to destruction of a legendary piece, the game still ends.

High score wins. Tiebreakers are, in order, (1) number of heroic pieces; (2) total number of pieces.


DEATHMATCH RULES: TWO-PLAYER

No tasks are used. The first player to score 18 points triggers the endgame.

Destroying pieces scores points as follows:

  • 1 point for every 2 common pieces, rounded down
  • 1 point for a heroic piece
  • 2 points for a legendary piece

Summoning a legend scores 1 point. (The point is not lost if the piece is later destroyed.)

If you play a flare your opponent gains 1 point.


DEATHMATCH RULES: THREE OR FOUR PLAYERS

Scores are tracked separately in each colour. Your final score is the lowest score. (The second and if necessary/applicable third lowest scores are used as tiebreakers.)

Endgame is triggered by a player scoring 12 (for three-player) or 10 (for four-player) in a single colour.

Improvised Summoning

Once per game, each player is permitted to use one piece of each opponent as their own when summoning a Being. (Thus in a 3-player game, a player may perform two improvised summonings; in a 4-player game, three--one for each opponent's colour.)
