A very well designed game that will make Magic players feel right at home due to many similar mechanics. Turns basically consist of choosing a plot (from a deck of 7) that determines gold for resources, turn order, and hand size for the turn; next, drawing cards, then purchasing characters, locations, and attachments; and finally, attacking the opponent in three ways: military. intrigue, and power - each with unique benefits. Who ever scores 15 power first wins. If playing with 3 to 6 players, titles from the series are also included, such as Hand of the King, that also mix things up a bit.
