Setup


In preparation for the game, the players place 8 Resource cards on the table next to them so that both players can see them.

Then each player puts all the chips in the starting positions on the circled numbers on the Resource cards.

After that, the players shuffle the deck, distribute 8 Playing cards into their hands and begin to play making moves in turn.

Gameplay


The Players take turns performing 2 actions:

1. The Recruitment action.
2. The Play cards action.

During the Recruitment action, the player increases his army by adding warriors, wizards and miners. The more buildings such as barracks, altars, and mines the player has, the more and faster the player grows his army. The current number of all army units and buildings is expressed as a set of resource cards with chips.

During the Play cards action, the player chooses from 1 to 3 cards from his hands and either discards them or plays them by placing them face-up in the center of the table. When a player has played cards, both players move their chips through the resource cards, decreasing or increasing their resources depending on the influence of the cards.

The influence of the cards are represented as a set of numbers and icons on each card.

Winning or Losing the game depends only on the amount of one of the most vital resources called the Tower. The game ends in victory when any of the players has grown the Tower to 99 floors and ends in defeat if the player's Tower has been destroyed to 0.
