How to Play
For the game, ensure that all cards are thoroughly shuffled and avoid categorizing them by type. You will need a deck of a least 50 individual cards to play.
Begin by giving each player a total of 7 cards and leave the deck face down and off to the side.
If you do not have any Zaire coins to play with (sold separately), you may omit them while playing the game. Commence using cards whenever it is your turn.
If you do not own any Resurrection cards, you may play deceased characters using the health and attack they would have if they are alive.
​
More than two people can play! Begin by choosing the sequence of your players. Feel free to spread out your cards in front of you, or keep your hand to yourself. It is your choice!
​
When it is your turn, place one card in the space in front of you. This space is your army. When the card has served one turn in the army it is able to attack and be attacked. You are free at this point to pick up a card to keep seven cards in your deck. Once a card has served in the army for one turn, you can use it to attack any card that has served in your opponent's army. You can only attack with one card at a time.
​
Negotiations and card trading can happen during your turn before commensing attack. You can only place one card in your Army at a time.
Zaire
At the top left, you’ll find a coin icon with the currency of Zaire, the currency of the game and also the currency of the Kingdom of Bimmorus in the HALE series. You may purchase Zaire separately to use during gameplay for using a card in your hand or trading cards with other players. Zaire may be omitted from gameplay entirely.
​
Upon beginning the game, each player will receive a total of ten Zaire, use these coins to play a card; place it in your Army.
​
When you attack an opponent card and deplete its health to 0 or a negative number, you have beaten the card and will receive the Zaire worth of that card.
​
Damages
When your card attacks an opponent's card, it is a one sided attack. The attack number of your card subtracts from the opponent card's health. If the opponent card survives, keep note of its new health number with a pen and pad. If the card's health becomes 0 or a negative number then it is placed in your personal discard pile.
Take for example, Card 1 is initiating attack with Card 2. Card 1 has a health of 9 attack and 6 health. Card 2 has an attack of 5 and health of 7. Since the attack of Card 1 (9) is affecting Card 2's health (5), Card 2 dies automatically as it's health is depleted to -4. (5 - 9 = -4)

The amount of cards in the player's discard piles at the end of the game, determines the winner of the game. If the opponent's card is paired with a place card, resurrection card, object card, or Welcoming Moon Card, they are not collected into your personal discard pile, but instead a shared discard pile in the middle of the players.
​
Play until there are no more cards left in the deck, or until there are no more playable cards.
