Objective

Each player builds a small army of dragons with which to face their opponent, chooses in which order the dragons approach the enemy lines, and attempts to be the player with dragons remaining in hand at the end.

Draft Phase

• Shuffle deck and deal 15 cards to each player, discarding the remaining.
• Each player drafts one card and trades decks.
• Then repeat twice with drafting 1 more dragon than the previous draft.
• Finally, choose 4 cards, which will be your starting line. Discard any undrafted cards.

Line-up Phase

Place cards face-down toward opponent and place activation tokens face-down.

Battle Phase

• When both players are ready, reveal all cards in line and tokens.
• Calculate battle results and remove destroyed dragons.
• Fill lines from the back from players’ hands until there are 4 dragons.

End of Game

Replay battle phase until one player cannot fill their line. That player loses the game.
