Example 3:

Suppose Player 1 also had Prince Estabrook in attack mode, holding a Cannon, and player 2 had no more Combatants in the Trench. Prince’s 3ATK plus 5ATK from the cannon gives Prince a total ATK of 8, and he could attack Player 2 directly, causing a loss of 8 State Points.

Any Combatant who attacks must remain in attack mode at the end of the turn. Any Combatant that does not attack may be shifted to attack or defense mode at any point before the end of your turn.

ACTION PHASE 2 (AP2)

After your battle phase, you may make any move legal in Action Phase 1, except you may not attack again.

END PHASE (EP)

Your turn ends when you run out of legal moves during AP2 or because you feel like it. Resolve any effects by active cards that need to be resolved. Then, it’s your opponent’s turn.

WINNING!

The winner is whoever drops their opponent to zero State Points, or whoever’s opponent runs out of cards to draw at the beginning of their turn.

OVERTIME

If the game ends in a tie, each player takes out all Com-batants from their opponent’s deck, shuffles that deck, and returns deck to opponent. Each player draws a card. Whoever draw the Combatant with the highest ATK wins. Keep draw-ing until someone wins.

b. Base DEF value for defense mode:

+ Battleground effect bonus + Hold/weapon bonus + Bonus from other active card effects - Effects of other cards in play that affect that Combatant.

DAMAGE STEP

Whichever Combatant has the higher “Total number” wins the duel. The losing Combatant and all cards attached are sent to the Museum. If the losing Combatant was in attack position, subtract the total difference between “Total ATK” from the losing player’s State Points. If the losing Combatant was in defense mode, no State Points are deducted. If the op-ponent has no Combatant on their side of the field, attacking Combatant may deal damage directly to opponent’s State Points equal to the Combatant’s “Total Attack”.

Example 1:

Player 1 plays Francis Marion with no weapon and a total ATK of 4, defeats Player 2’s Belle Boyd, who has 0 ATK but who is holding a Tomahawk and has a total ATK of 2. Assume no other card effects are in play. Player 2 loses 2 State Points and Belle and the Tomahawk go to the Museum.

Example 2:

If Belle was in defense mode, she would have 2 DEF plus 1 DEF from the Tomahawk and, assuming no other card effects are in play, she would have a total DEF of 3. She and the Tomahawk would go to the Museum but the losing player does not lose any State Points.

D. Play a Combatant:

You may play one Combatant per turn, provided you have room in your Trench. Place the card face-up vertically for attack mode, and face-up horizontally for defense mode. Some Combatants have special abilities. Their abilities always take effect before any other card effect takes place. When a Combatant is discarded, all attached cards also go to the Museum.

E. Summoning Exceptional cards: Certain cards, with purple backgrounds, are deemed “Exceptional”. These cards require tribute to play. The number of stars on the card is number of cards of that type that must be sent to the Museum in order to play. For example, 1- star Combatant = 1 Combatant sacrifice, or a 2-star Combatant = 2 Combatant sacrifices, and so on. You may play only one Exceptional card per turn.

BATTLE PHASE (BP)

ATTACK STEP

You may choose to attack in a turn to reduce your opponent’s State Points. Each Combatant may attack in battle once per turn. To engage in battle, choose one Combatant in your Trench with which to attack and tell your opponent which Combatant in their Trench your chosen Combatant will attack.

1. The attacking Combatant determines its Total Attack Value: a. Base ATK value: + Battleground effect bonus + Hold/weapon bonus + Bonus from other active card effects - Effects of other cards in play that affect that Combatant 2. The Combatant being attacked determines its Total Attack Value or Total Defense Value, depending on which mode it is in at the time of the attack:

a. Base ATK value for attack mode: + Battleground effect bonus + Hold/weapon bonus + Bonus from other active card effects - Effects of other cards in play that affect that Combatant.

3. Decide who goes first in any manner you choose, or have a spicy taco-eating contest. It’s up to you. Winner chooses to go first or second. Player going first cannot attack on the first turn.

Let’s Begin! BEGINNING PHASE (BP)

HOH has a “draw up” rule that allows you to draw more than one card at the beginning of your turn, until you have five in your hand. You must draw at least one card every turn. After you have drawn your card(s) there may be card effects from played cards which must be resolved before moving to AP1.

ACTION PHASE 1 (AP1) During either AP1 or AP2, you may:

A. Play a Battleground card:

You may have only one Battleground on the field at any time and may only play one per turn. If you wish, you may discard an active Battleground and replace it at a cost of 2 State Points. Battleground card effects only affect your side of the field, unless noted otherwise.

B. Play a hold card:

You may play an unlimited number of hold supply cards, including weapons, per turn, provided you have room in your Command Zone. Weapons are “attached” to an active Combatant in your Trench. The Combatant automatically gains as many ATK or DEF points as the card stipulates. You may attach one weapon to a Combatant at a time, unless a card effect says otherwise. You may discard a hold card or weapon from a Combatant and attach a new one to him/her by deducting 2 State Points from your total per card..

C. Play an Action card:

You may play an unlimited number of non-hold supply cards, provided you have room in your Command Zone. Once an Action card has been used, send it to the Museum.
