Rules

Each player or team has one Castle card to start off with, and must defend it. It has 50HP (as shown on the corner). When either team's Castle is destroyed they lose the game. They also start with their General, Wizards and Spy, all of which start off in the Castle Zone except for the General, who starts off in the Middle Zone.

The board is split into six zones - three on each side: the Castle Zone (inside the Castle), the Middle Zone and the Front. Most Soldiers and Civilians may only perform their actions on targets that are on the same zone as them. You may not enter the Castle Zone of your opponent. The outer walls of the Castle are in the Middle Zone (ironically) so you may move Soldiers into the Middle Zone and attack the Castle. Soldiers and Civilians may move to any adjacent zone on your turn.

Each card has a number, which is their HP value. When a card's HP falls to 0 it is discarded.

Civilians can repair the castle and perform other feats.

Soldiers can attack and deal damage to opponent Soldiers or Buildings.

Buildings do something that protects the castle (or IS the castle).

Spells and Special Attacks

Spells and Special Attacks are both Actions. Spells may only be played if a Wizard on your side is in play, and Special Attacks may only be played if the General is in play and you have a Soldier that is in your Middle Zone or Front Zone.

Terrain (optional rules)

You may predefine each zone to be of a specific terrain. By default all zones are Plains. The Castle Zones must be Plains.

Plains: No bonuses or disadvantages.
Hills: Archers that are on Hills have a range of 2 zones and may attack into the Castle Zone.
High Hills: Archers that are on High Hills have a range of 2 zones and may attack into the Castle Zone and deal +1 damage. Also, Soldiers which have just entered High Hills may be attacked by any opponent Soldiers as it a
River: Only between zones, never inside zones. Crossing the River means any opponent Soldiers may attack your card that crosses it during your turn while you cross it.
Lake: To cross your Soldiers and Civilians must get into boats. Boats are vulnerable and deal -1 damage and take +1 damage when attacked by Soldiers on the bank. If both combatants are in boats then they both deal -1 damage but do not take any extra damage.
Forest: Archers deal -1 damage to Civilians and Soldiers in Forests.
Marsh: No Special Attacks may be performed by Soldiers on a Marsh.
