==Dvorak==
==Simplified Rules==


Dvorak is played with cards, and there are two traditional types of card - Things and Actions. When you play a Thing card, it goes onto the table in front of you and stays there, usually having a useful effect while it remains in play; when you play an Action card, it does whatever it does and goes to a discard pile.
For your first game, if you think that the rules are maybe to complicated to fully understand without having played before, you can play with the Simplified Rules.


Take the deck of cards, shuffle it, and deal '''''NINE''''' cards to each player (which they hold in their hand where other players can't see). The rest of the cards go in the middle of the table as a face-down draw pile, and whenever a card is discarded or destroyed, it goes into a face-up discard pile.
This will allow you to ignore the rules about the Aspect cards, the Transitional Names and the Titles.


Starting with a random player, you take turns in order. A turn consists of:
To do so, remove from the game :
* The Stories '''The Student becomes the Master''', '''Blessed by the Heavens''', '''In Dread Crowned''', '''Band of Five Coming Together as One''' and '''Resurgence of a New Name'''
* All the Title cards
* All the Aspect cards (they become a Side deck, except for '''Take''', '''Flow''' and '''Wrest''' who are completely removed from the game)
* The three Transitional Named
* The Things '''Everdark''' and '''Sve Noc'''
* The Actions '''Forming a Squire''', '''Taking an Apprentice''', '''Adventure in the Brocelian Forest''', '''Name Dream''' and '''Designating an Heir'''
* The Demon '''Demon of Absence'''
 
The cards that behave differently with the Simplified Rules :
* The Vilain '''Catherine Foundling, "The Black Queen"''' : When she comes in play, draw two Aspect cards from the Side deck. They become her Aspects. At any time, '''''if none of her Aspects has a marker on it,''''' Catherine can discard all her Aspects '''''and draw two new Aspect cards from the Side deck'''''.
* The Hero '''Roland de Beaumarais, The Rogue Sorcerer''' :
** '''Confiscate(R):''' '''''Draw an Aspect card from the Side deck.''''' It becomes linked to Roland and is destroyed if Roland is, but it doesn't count has one of the three Aspects of Roland.
** The Aspect '''Use(R)''' works as stated on the card.
 
Look in the following rules to see how the Simplified Rules change from the Complete Rules.
 
==Preparing the game==
 
You need to print the cards of this page. You also need a coin, a dice, and things that you can use as markers to put on cards.


* Drawing the top card from the draw pile. (If the draw pile's empty, shuffle the discard pile and turn it over to make a new draw pile.)
At the beginning of the game, shuffle the different side decks apart from the main deck of cards and apart from each other. Cards can only be drawn from the side decks on particular conditions.


* Playing up to two cards from your hand. You can play one Thing and one Action per turn (or just one of those, or no cards at all).
Deal ten cards from the main deck to each player. The rest of the cards go in the middle of the table as a face-down draw pile, and whenever a card is discarded or destroyed, it goes into a face-up discard pile.


* Checking your hand size; if you have more than '''''SEVEN''''' cards, discard down to '''''SEVEN'''''.
Side decks each have a discard pile of their own.


The game continues until somebody meets the deck's victory condition.
'''''Simplified Rules :''''' Deal only seven cards to each player.


==A Practical Guide to Evil==
==Win condition==


===Preparing the game===
To win, you must control 3 different complete Stories. A Story is incomplete if it has markers on it.


You need to print the cards of this page. You also need a coin, a dice, and things that you can use as markers to put on cards.
==Playing a turn==


At the beginning of the game, shuffle the different side decks apart from the main deck of cards and apart from each other. Cards can only be drawn from the side decks on particular conditions.
===Aspect phase===


Side decks each have a discard pile of their own.
Remove all the markers on your Named's Aspects


===Draw phase===
===Draw phase===


At the beginning of your turn, instead of drawing a card, you can choose to discard as many cards as you want from your hand, and draw that many cards.
At the beginning of your turn, you can choose between :
* drawing a card (If the draw pile's empty, shuffle the discard pile and turn it over to make a new draw pile.)
* discard as many cards as you want from your hand, and draw that many cards.


===Win condition===
===Playing cards===


To win, you must control 3 different Stories, or control all the Named of the deck (only the Dead King can fulfill this win condition, cf. Special cards/The Dead King).
Each turn you can play at most one Story, one Thing and one Action.


A Story doesn't count for the win condition if it has markers on it.
===End of turn===


===Stories===
At the end of your turn, check your hand size; if you have more than eight cards, discard down to eight.
 
==Type of cards==
 
===Story===


A Story :
A Story :
* can be played when its Condition is met and if you control a Named.
* can be played when its Condition is met and if you control a Named.
* can be played maximum once each turn (each turn, you can play a Story and/or a Thing and/or an Action).
* resolves its Effect when it is played.
* resolves its Effect when it is played.


If at any point, you don't control any Named, you must destroy all your Stories.
If at any point, you don't control any Named, you must sacrifice all your Stories.


===Named===
===Action===


Named is a generic term that englobes Vilains and Heroes.
When you play an Action card, it does whatever it does and goes to a discard pile.


A Named can have built-in Aspects that work like Aspect cards.
===Thing===


====Class====
When you play a Thing card, it goes onto the table in front of you and stays there, usually having a useful effect while it remains in play.


Named are categorized in Classes. There are three Classes : Combat, Magic and Trick.
Some Things say "'''Action:''' [do something]" - this is simply shorthand for "Instead of playing an Action, the player who controls this card may [do something]." (The Thing card remains in play.) This counts as an Action for all relevant purposes - a card which negated Actions would also negate an "instead-of" effect.  


These Classes affect what Aspects each Named are eligible to.
Example: If a Thing said "'''Action:''' Draw two cards.", then so long as that card remained in play, the player who controlled it could choose to skip their Action for a turn, and draw two cards instead.  


Some Action cards can only be played if you control a Named of a certain Class. This Named is called the Caster of the Action. For example, Scrying can only be played if you control a Magic Named, and Flying Fortress only if you control a Magic Vilain.
===Named===


====Aspects====
Named is a specific type of Thing. This is a generic term that englobes Vilains, Heroes, Transitional Names and Ambiguous Names.


=====Playing an Aspect card=====
====Band of Five====


An Aspect card :
Each player cannot control more than 5 Named. A Vilain and a Hero can't be part of the same Band of Five (except when '''War on Keter''' is in play).
* can be played when its Condition is met.
* can always be played as a Reaction, even when it is not your turn.
* must be played attached to an Eligible Named.
* resolves its Effect when it is played.


Each Named can have a maximum of 3 Aspects.
====Followers====


=====Activating an Aspect=====
Some Named are Followers. This means that when you play them, you need to choose a non-Follower Named you control to become their Leader. You can't play a Follower if you don't control a non-Follower Named.


When a Named activate one of its Aspect already in play, put a marker on it.
A Leader can't be targeted by an opponent as long as a Follower follows it.
Each player removes the markers on his Aspects at the beginning of his turn.
A Named can only activate one of its Aspect when none of its Aspects has a marker on it.
You can activate an Aspect in play as a Reaction, even when it is not your turn, if it has "(R)" in his name.


When playing an Aspect card, resolving its effect doesn't put a marker on it, so you can still activate an Aspect your Named already had. You can play an Aspect card on a Named, even if there is a marker on one of its Aspects.
If for any reason, a Leader were to leave play while it still has a Follower, this Follower would no longer be considered a Follower (cards that refer to Follower would no longer refer to it, and cards that refer to non-Follower would now refer to it).


However, you can activate an Aspect only If you played it before your previous turn.
====Class====
 
====Band of Five====
 
Each player cannot control more than 5 Named, and a Band of Five must be composed exclusively of Vilains or exclusively of Heroes (except when Team up ! is in play).


====Followers====
Named are categorized in Classes. There are three Classes : Fight, Magic and Trick.


Some Named are Followers. this means that when you play them, you need to choose a non-Follower Named you control to become their Leader. You can't play a Follower if you don't control a non-Follower Named.
Some Action cards can only be played if you control a Named of a certain Class. This Named is called the Caster of the Action. For example, '''Scrying''' can only be played if you control a Magic Named, and '''Flying Fortress''' only if you control a Magic Vilain.
 
A Leader can't be targeted as long as a Follower follows it.


====Transitional and Ambiguous Names====
====Transitional and Ambiguous Names====
Line 110: Line 121:
These are Named who aren't Vilains or Heroes, and can be part of any Band of Five.
These are Named who aren't Vilains or Heroes, and can be part of any Band of Five.


If you control a Transitional Name, you must sacrify it when you play a Named of the same class (Combat, Magic or Trick).
'''''Simplified Rules :''''' You don't play with the Transitional Names (but you do play with the Ambiguous Name).


===Special cards===
If you control a Transitional Name, you must sacrifice it when you play a non-Transitional Named of the same class (Fight, Magic or Trick).


Some cards work very particularly. Because their text is so long, it is written here and only summarize on the card.
====Aspects====


====Rule of Three====
Aspects are skills that a Named has. Most Named come in play with one or two Aspects already available.


The Story card Rule of Three.
=====Activating an Aspect=====


'''Condition:'''
When a Named activate one of its Aspect already in play, put a marker on it.
* Play this card '''''in reaction''''' when one of your Named is destroyed by an opponent
Each player removes the markers on his Aspects at the beginning of his turn.
* You still need to control at least one Named
A Named can only activate one of its Aspect when none of its Aspects has a marker on it.
* You can't have multiple Rule of Three linked to the same opponent.
You can activate an Aspect in play as a Reaction, even when it is not your turn, if it has "(R)" in his name.


'''Effect:'''<br/>
=====Playing an Aspect card=====
''On playing it:''
* Put two markers on it.
* This Story is link to the opponent mentioned in the condition. He is thereafter refered to as the linked opponent.
''As long as there is exactly 2 markers on the card:''
* If you destroy one of the linked opponent's Named or he destroys one of yours, destroy this card.
* One full turn after playing this card, remove one marker from it.
''As long as there is exactly 1 marker on the card:''
* The linked opponent cannot destroy any of your Named.
* When you destroy one of the linked opponent's Named, remove the last marker from this card.


====The Dead King====
'''''Simplified Rules :''''' You don't play with the Aspect cards.


The Vilain card Neshamah, The Dead King.
An Aspect card :
* can be played when its Condition is met.
* can always be played as a Reaction, even when it is not your turn.
* must be played attached to an Eligible Named.
* resolves its Effect when it is played.


* You can't play the Dead King if you already control a Named.
Each Named can have a maximum of 3 Aspects.
* As long as you control the Dead King, you can't play or gain control of other Named.
* The only way to get control of a Named is to destroy it, then he comes in your control as a Revenant instead of going to the discard pile.
* When you play the Dead King, each opponent sacrifies a Named (who then becomes a Revenant under your control).
* The number of Revenants you control is not limited.
* No opponent can gain control of the Dead King or a Revenant.
* The Dead King can't be targeted or destroyed as long as you control a Revenant.
* The Dead King and the Revenants can't learn any new Aspects.
*Revenant don't count as Named for Stories.
* If an opponent manages to kill the Dead King, its card becomes a Story and this opponent gains control of it.
* The Dead King's Story is not destroyed when its owner controls no Named.


==Simplified Rules==
When playing an Aspect card, resolving its effect put a marker on it, but you can still activate an Aspect your Named already had. You can play an Aspect card on a Named, even if there is a marker on one of its Aspects.


For your first game, if you think that the rules are maybe to complicated to fully understand without having played before, you can play with the Simplified Rules.
However, you can activate an Aspect only if you played it during or before your previous turn.


This will allow you to ignore the rules about the Aspect cards, the Transitional Names and the Dead King.
===Title===


To do so, remove from the game :
'''''Simplified Rules :''''' You don't play with the Titles.
* The Stories '''The Student becomes the Master''' and '''Band of Five Coming Together as One'''
* All the Aspects cards (they become a Side deck, except for '''Take''' and '''Wrest''')
* The Vilain '''Neshamah, The Dead King'''
* The Hero '''Roland de Beaumarais, The Rogue Sorcerer'''
* The three Transitional Named
* The Things '''Everdark''', '''Keter''', '''Staff of Yew''' and '''Sve Noc'''
* The Actions '''Forming a Squire''', '''Taking an Apprentice''', '''Adventure in the Brocelian Forest''', '''Name Dream''' and '''Designating an Heir'''
* The Demon '''Demon of Absence'''


The cards that behave differently with the Simplified Rules :
Title cannot be played, ''except for'' '''''Duke/Duchess of Moonless Nights'''''. They can only be put in play with the Story '''Blessed by the Heavens''', '''In Dread Crowned''' or '''Resurgence of a New Name'''. They are associated with a Named, and should this Named leave play, they should be sacrificed, ''except for'' '''''Contrition's Chosen''''' ''who becomes a Thing - Sword if William leaves play''.
* The Vilain '''Catherine Foundling, "The Black Queen"''' : When she comes in play, draw two Aspect cards from the Side deck. They become her Aspects. At any time, '''''if none of her Aspects has a marker on it,''''' Catherine can discard all her Aspects '''''and draw two new Aspect cards from the Side deck'''''.
* The Thing '''Lycaonese Principalities''' : As there will never be any Revenant in play, this card serves only for the mechanism around the Principalities and the First Prince.


In this configuration, each player should start the game with '''''SEVEN''''' cards in hand instead of nine.
When you play a Story that puts a Title in play, look in the Side deck of Precise Titles to put one of the matching Titles in play, depending on the Named to title.
 
===Special cards===
 
Some cards work very particularly. Because their text is so long, it is written here and only summarize on the card.
 
====Rule of Three====
 
The Story card Rule of Three.
 
'''Condition:'''
* Play this card '''''in reaction''''' when one of your Named is destroyed by an opponent.
* You still need to control at least one Named.
* There can't be multiple Rule of Three linking the same two players.
 
'''Effect:'''<br/>
''On playing it:''
* Put two markers on it.
* This Story is link to the opponent mentioned in the condition. He is thereafter refered to as the linked opponent.
''As long as there is exactly 2 markers on the card:''
* If you destroy one of the linked opponent's Named or he destroys one of yours, sacrifice this card.
* After playing this card, wait for all the players to have played a turn before removing one marker from it.
''As long as there is exactly 1 marker on the card:''
* The linked opponent cannot destroy any of your Named.
* When you destroy one of the linked opponent's Named, remove the last marker from this card.

Rules

Simplified Rules

For your first game, if you think that the rules are maybe to complicated to fully understand without having played before, you can play with the Simplified Rules.

This will allow you to ignore the rules about the Aspect cards, the Transitional Names and the Titles.

To do so, remove from the game :

  • The Stories The Student becomes the Master, Blessed by the Heavens, In Dread Crowned, Band of Five Coming Together as One and Resurgence of a New Name
  • All the Title cards
  • All the Aspect cards (they become a Side deck, except for Take, Flow and Wrest who are completely removed from the game)
  • The three Transitional Named
  • The Things Everdark and Sve Noc
  • The Actions Forming a Squire, Taking an Apprentice, Adventure in the Brocelian Forest, Name Dream and Designating an Heir
  • The Demon Demon of Absence

The cards that behave differently with the Simplified Rules :

  • The Vilain Catherine Foundling, "The Black Queen" : When she comes in play, draw two Aspect cards from the Side deck. They become her Aspects. At any time, if none of her Aspects has a marker on it, Catherine can discard all her Aspects and draw two new Aspect cards from the Side deck.
  • The Hero Roland de Beaumarais, The Rogue Sorcerer :
    • Confiscate(R): Draw an Aspect card from the Side deck. It becomes linked to Roland and is destroyed if Roland is, but it doesn't count has one of the three Aspects of Roland.
    • The Aspect Use(R) works as stated on the card.

Look in the following rules to see how the Simplified Rules change from the Complete Rules.

Preparing the game

You need to print the cards of this page. You also need a coin, a dice, and things that you can use as markers to put on cards.

At the beginning of the game, shuffle the different side decks apart from the main deck of cards and apart from each other. Cards can only be drawn from the side decks on particular conditions.

Deal ten cards from the main deck to each player. The rest of the cards go in the middle of the table as a face-down draw pile, and whenever a card is discarded or destroyed, it goes into a face-up discard pile.

Side decks each have a discard pile of their own.

Simplified Rules : Deal only seven cards to each player.

Win condition

To win, you must control 3 different complete Stories. A Story is incomplete if it has markers on it.

Playing a turn

Aspect phase

Remove all the markers on your Named's Aspects

Draw phase

At the beginning of your turn, you can choose between :

  • drawing a card (If the draw pile's empty, shuffle the discard pile and turn it over to make a new draw pile.)
  • discard as many cards as you want from your hand, and draw that many cards.

Playing cards

Each turn you can play at most one Story, one Thing and one Action.

End of turn

At the end of your turn, check your hand size; if you have more than eight cards, discard down to eight.

Type of cards

Story

A Story :

  • can be played when its Condition is met and if you control a Named.
  • resolves its Effect when it is played.

If at any point, you don't control any Named, you must sacrifice all your Stories.

Action

When you play an Action card, it does whatever it does and goes to a discard pile.

Thing

When you play a Thing card, it goes onto the table in front of you and stays there, usually having a useful effect while it remains in play.

Some Things say "Action: [do something]" - this is simply shorthand for "Instead of playing an Action, the player who controls this card may [do something]." (The Thing card remains in play.) This counts as an Action for all relevant purposes - a card which negated Actions would also negate an "instead-of" effect.

Example: If a Thing said "Action: Draw two cards.", then so long as that card remained in play, the player who controlled it could choose to skip their Action for a turn, and draw two cards instead.

Named

Named is a specific type of Thing. This is a generic term that englobes Vilains, Heroes, Transitional Names and Ambiguous Names.

Band of Five

Each player cannot control more than 5 Named. A Vilain and a Hero can't be part of the same Band of Five (except when War on Keter is in play).

Followers

Some Named are Followers. This means that when you play them, you need to choose a non-Follower Named you control to become their Leader. You can't play a Follower if you don't control a non-Follower Named.

A Leader can't be targeted by an opponent as long as a Follower follows it.

If for any reason, a Leader were to leave play while it still has a Follower, this Follower would no longer be considered a Follower (cards that refer to Follower would no longer refer to it, and cards that refer to non-Follower would now refer to it).

Class

Named are categorized in Classes. There are three Classes : Fight, Magic and Trick.

Some Action cards can only be played if you control a Named of a certain Class. This Named is called the Caster of the Action. For example, Scrying can only be played if you control a Magic Named, and Flying Fortress only if you control a Magic Vilain.

Transitional and Ambiguous Names

These are Named who aren't Vilains or Heroes, and can be part of any Band of Five.

Simplified Rules : You don't play with the Transitional Names (but you do play with the Ambiguous Name).

If you control a Transitional Name, you must sacrifice it when you play a non-Transitional Named of the same class (Fight, Magic or Trick).

Aspects

Aspects are skills that a Named has. Most Named come in play with one or two Aspects already available.

Activating an Aspect

When a Named activate one of its Aspect already in play, put a marker on it. Each player removes the markers on his Aspects at the beginning of his turn. A Named can only activate one of its Aspect when none of its Aspects has a marker on it. You can activate an Aspect in play as a Reaction, even when it is not your turn, if it has "(R)" in his name.

Playing an Aspect card

Simplified Rules : You don't play with the Aspect cards.

An Aspect card :

  • can be played when its Condition is met.
  • can always be played as a Reaction, even when it is not your turn.
  • must be played attached to an Eligible Named.
  • resolves its Effect when it is played.

Each Named can have a maximum of 3 Aspects.

When playing an Aspect card, resolving its effect put a marker on it, but you can still activate an Aspect your Named already had. You can play an Aspect card on a Named, even if there is a marker on one of its Aspects.

However, you can activate an Aspect only if you played it during or before your previous turn.

Title

Simplified Rules : You don't play with the Titles.

Title cannot be played, except for Duke/Duchess of Moonless Nights. They can only be put in play with the Story Blessed by the Heavens, In Dread Crowned or Resurgence of a New Name. They are associated with a Named, and should this Named leave play, they should be sacrificed, except for Contrition's Chosen who becomes a Thing - Sword if William leaves play.

When you play a Story that puts a Title in play, look in the Side deck of Precise Titles to put one of the matching Titles in play, depending on the Named to title.

Special cards

Some cards work very particularly. Because their text is so long, it is written here and only summarize on the card.

Rule of Three

The Story card Rule of Three.

Condition:

  • Play this card in reaction when one of your Named is destroyed by an opponent.
  • You still need to control at least one Named.
  • There can't be multiple Rule of Three linking the same two players.

Effect:
On playing it:

  • Put two markers on it.
  • This Story is link to the opponent mentioned in the condition. He is thereafter refered to as the linked opponent.

As long as there is exactly 2 markers on the card:

  • If you destroy one of the linked opponent's Named or he destroys one of yours, sacrifice this card.
  • After playing this card, wait for all the players to have played a turn before removing one marker from it.

As long as there is exactly 1 marker on the card:

  • The linked opponent cannot destroy any of your Named.
  • When you destroy one of the linked opponent's Named, remove the last marker from this card.
