on the dice. Each book a player rolls on the green die indicates a point of Politics they can spend, each Chalice on the blue Intrigue, each Yin-Yang on the white is One Power and each Rider and Horse on the Black is Combat. Most all cards have a number of these symbols listed at the bottom, which represents the cost of recruiting the card. The other three symbols on the dices are used in challenges. The sword counts as a point of support for a challenge, the shield counts as a point of opposition, and the skull counts as damage done toward the opposition. Some dice have sides with multiple symbols. These faces count as either symbol, depending on what the dice is rolled for. There are also colored blank tokens used to show which challenges players are participating in and numbered tokens used to keep track of how much of an ability a player has generated. The Pattern The Pattern is the focus of the game. Each turn a token is to be placed on the Pattern. Depending on how various challenges go during the turn, the token could be in the neutral area, the light area, or the dark area. When there are 20 tokens on the Pattern, the last battle starts, in which the side with the most tokens has an advantage. Last Battle The Last Battle is a special challenge at the very end of the game that goes on until a player has enough points to win. 'It's the big battle at the end of every good book, where all the cards are on the table and it's do or die time!', according to Precedence ads. Dominance Whichever faction has the most pattern tokens on their side has dominance. This affects who goes first and last at the various stages of a turn. Allegiances It is easier to for a player to play a character card when they have other cards with the same allegiance on the table, and it is less expensive to recruit cards of the same allegiance. The factions Dragon Reborn: Led by Rand al' Thor, the faction of Light attempts to sway the Pattern to their side to stop the Forsaken. The Forsaken: Never truly trusting one another, but working together to bring their own darkness to the Pattern and rule the world. References External links CCG Workshop Online play
