  • Basic rules
    • Setting up
      • Choose the grid size before starting the game. There are 2 to choose from:
        • 3 x 3
        • 4 x 4
    • Moving and attacking
      • Select any card that’s horizontally or vertically adjacent to your hero card.
      • In most cases, your hero will move to the new space without a hitch.
      • Sometimes, the hero will need to move to the same space at least twice.
        • In the case of castles and barrels, the hero will first destroy it to reveal its contents. You can pick up the contents in the second move.
        • For enemies, you must be capable of defeating them before you can take their slot.
        • If you fail to defeat them on the first move, we don’t recommend trying again unless no other option exists.
      • Cards spawn in the direction opposite to where you move. If you move to a card to the right, the card that replaces it will appear on the left most side of the screen.
    • Collecting and equipping items
      • Items are generated each time you move from one card to the next.
      • You can pick up items cards that are adjacent to your hero.
      • To collect items in castles, chests, and barrels, you must first break those open.
    • Coins
      • Coins serve as part of your score. Collect as many of them as you can.
      • These appear from castles, barrels, and chests you open.
      • They can also appear as loot dropped by enemies.
    • Spawn rates
      • Early game
        • You can pick up more weapons and shields.
        • You also deal with weaker enemies.
      • Later game
        • The weapons and shields are more powerful, but they become rare.
        • Your enemies become stronger.
        • It becomes easier to get cornered. If you are cornered and don’t have enough hit points to take on an enemy, the game is over on your next move.
    • Combat
      • Hit points.
        • Your character begins with 10 hit points, which can be found on the top center of the card.
          • Hazard and enemy cards have a number above them indicating how much of your health they will take out when you move the card there.
          • If your health is more than the attack strength of the enemy card, you will survive.
          • Lose all your health and the game ends.
        • To replenish your health, collect potion cards.
          • Potion cards restore your hit points based on the number shown above them.
          • You can only use potion restores until you fill up your health bar. Any more than that and you’ll just be wasting it.
      • Weapons and shields
        • Weapons and shields provide you with a means of attacking enemies without losing your hit points.
          • Defense strength protects you from enemy attacks.
          • Attack strength reduces your enemy’s hit points.
        • The defensive or offensive value of a shield or weapon is shown on the bottom left corner of the card.
          • Each time you use a weapon or shield on an enemy, its value is reduced.
          • If the enemy or hazard exceeds the value of your attack or defense, you lose the shield or weapon.
          • You can either attack them directly with your hits points or wait until you acquire another weapon.
        • You have a strength limit of 3 for both attack and defense.
          • Thus, you can only equip 2 weapons or 2 shields at a time.
          • Like with potions, acquiring more than your limit effectively wastes the weapons or shields.
  • Cards
    • Terrain cards
      • Grass
        • This is your standard terrain tile.
        • Standing on grass confers no advantages or disadvantages. Step on it when you need to.
      • Castle
        • Step on a castle to break it down. Afterward, you will return to your position.
        • The contents of a castle once broken can be either a reward or a knight.
        • You can pick up the reward or fight the knight on your next turn.
      • Barrels
        • Barrels contain items of interest. Break them down as often as you encounter them.
        • Each time you break a barrel, you return to your original position. You can pick up the contents on your next turn.
        • The contents of the barrel could be (and are usually) beneficial, like coins, weapons, or potions.
        • Sometimes, barrels can contain traps.
      • Chests and keys
        • You cannot move to the space occupied by a chest unless you have picked up a key.
        • Once you do pick up a key, move to the chest to collect what’s inside. As with the barrel, opening the chest returns you to your original space.
    • Power up cards
      • Cannons
        • When you move to the position of a cannon card, you fire cannon balls at enemies in the same row and column as the cannon.
        • The cannon will only attack horizontally in the direction it faces.
        • Cannons will attack any enemy above and below it as long as they’re in the same column.
      • Potions
        • Potions will restore a portion of your hit points.
      • Swords and Spears
        • Swords and spears give you a means of attacking your foes.
      • Shields
        • Shields protect you from enemy attacks and hazards.
    • Hazard cards
      • Floor spikes
        • Floor spikes retract and come up with every turn.
        • If you move onto floor spikes while they are retracted, you gain no damage.
        • Walking onto them will cause you to get damaged.
        • Ideally, you should move onto a floor spike
      • Traps
        • Traps sometimes appear when you open a barrel. They also sometimes spawn on their own.
        • They will take a chunk of your hit points if you move to them without a shield.
    • Enemy cards
      • Animals (wolves and boars)
        • Animals are the first enemies you encounter.
        • They have low hit points and are easy to defeat with your starting weapons.
      • Knights
        • Knights start off weak. Their levels indicate how much of a threat they are to you.
        • As the game progresses, the knights become bigger threats and take longer to defeat.
  • Scoring
    • You have 2 scores in this game:
      • Your kill count, or how many enemies you’ve slain.
      • The coins you collected.
    • Use the social media buttons on the bottom row of the win screen to share your score with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, or Whatsapp.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like strategy card games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
