Objective

Use your cards strategically, keep your company healthy, and collect gems. The first player to either collect 7 gems or reduce the opponent’s health points to zero wins the game.

Setup

1. Place the four area cards in a row between the players (the play zone).
2. To decide who starts, each player draws cards from the deck until one draws a gem card – that player goes first.
3. Then all drawn cards are returned to the deck and the deck is reshuffled.
4. Cards may only be played in the area of the matching color.
5. Give each player 3 cards (face down). Place the remaining cards as a draw pile in the center.
6. Each player starts with 3 health points and 1 gem. The remaining resources are kept as a reserve next to the area cards.

Turn structure

Each turn consists of two steps:

1. Draw 1 card from the deck
2. Perform two of the following actions in any order:
   • Draw an additional card
   • Play a card in a matching-colored area (facing you) and activate it
   • Activate a card you placed in a previous turn (only starting from your second turn, and each card may only be activated once per turn)

Then it’s the next player’s turn.

The game ends as soon as one player collects 7 gems or reduces the opponent’s health to zero.
