Game Components

• 44 Path Cards
• 27 Action Cards
• 28 Gold Nugget Cards
• 7 Gold Miners
• 4 Saboteurs

Setup

Separate the cards into path, action, nugget, and dwarf cards.

The number of gold miner and saboteur cards used depends on the number of players (put the remaining dwarf cards back in the box-they will not be needed for the rest of the game):

• 3 players: 1 saboteur and 3 gold miners
• 4 players: 1 saboteur and 4 gold miners
• 5 players: 2 saboteurs and 4 gold miners
• 6 players: 2 saboteurs and 5 gold miners
• 7 players: 3 saboteurs and 5 gold miners
• 8 players: 3 saboteurs and 6 gold miners
• 9 players: 3 saboteurs and 7 gold miners
• 10 players: all dwarf cards

Shuffle the required numbers of gold miners and saboteurs together. Deal one card to each player, who looks at it and puts it face down in front of him without revealing his role to the other players. The last card is set aside (also face down) until the end of the round. …

There are six types of Magic cards:

Artifact

Artifacts are colorless permanents that represent magical objects. You can play artifacts only during your main phases when the stack is empty.

(You'll learn about phases and the stack later).

A card with "Artifact - Equipment" on its type line represents a weapon, armor, or other item your creatures can use.

Once an Equipment is in play, you can pay to attach it to a creature you control or to move it from one of your creatures to another. …

Whenever a player marches one or more of his units into an area containing units from another House, combat ensues.

Combat is resolved by comparing the total Combat Strength of the battling sides. The victor is the player who gathers the highest Combat Strength.

The following elements can contribute to Combat Strength:

• Units in the combat
• Supporting units
• Defense Order (defender only)
• March Order (attacker only)
• The Valyrian Steel Blade token
• House cards
• Garrison token (defender only)

The player resolving the March Order is considered the attacker (and his units are attacking) while the opponent occupying the contested area is the defender (and his units are defending). …

Decks

There are two types of cards - civil cards and military cards. We already know some civil cards: All the initial technologies printed on your player board are Age A civil cards. The military cards will enter the game later.

Separate the cards into eight decks according to their backs. Your first game will be shorter and not very militant. To ensure that, you need to adjust the decks:

• Return both Age III decks to the box. Your first game will have one age less than the full game.
• From the Age I and II military decks use only the following cards:

  • Events and territories (green cards, with the jST symbol in the upper right corner) …
