Preparing Your Arsenal: Building Your Deck

Before the battle commences, you must assemble your forces. Your deck is a compilation of at least 50 cards that represent your strategy, prowess, and will to win.

• Deck Composition: Blend a mix of unit, event, and upgrade cards, with up to three copies of each unique card.
• Balanced Forces: Aim for 30-40 unit cards—split between ground and space forces—and complement them with 10-20 events and upgrades.

Setting the Stage for Galactic Warfare

As you sit across from your opponent, the tension is palpable. Here’s how to prepare the battlefield:

• Base and Leader Cards: Position your base card to face your opponent’s. Below it, place your leader card on the non-unit side.
• Initiative and Mulligan: Randomly determine who takes the initiative. Draw six cards, with the option for a single mulligan.
• Resources at the Ready: Select two cards from your hand to serve as your starting resources, placing them facedown in your resource area.

Navigating the Action: A Turn-by-Turn Breakdown

The heart of the game beats within its turn structure. Experience the ebb and flow of the action phase and the regroup phase:

• Resource Management: Play cards by spending resources, represented by exhausted cards in your resource area.
• Playing Units: Deploy your troops to the battlefield, but remember they enter the fray exhausted and unable to attack immediately.
• The Brink of Defeat: Should your deck run dry, your base will endure damage for each card you cannot draw.

The Lexicon of Battle: Understanding Keywords

Each card in your arsenal may carry special keywords that define their abilities. Here are a few to keep in mind:

• Ambush: Surprise your enemies with an immediate attack upon playing this unit.
• Grit: Empower your units with additional strength for each damage they’ve sustained.
• Overwhelm: When your units conquer their opponents, any excess damage cascades onto your adversary’s base.

The Art of War: Playing Cards and Allocating Resources

Your strategic acumen will be tested in how you manage your resources and play your cards:

• Aspect Alignment: Playing cards that match the aspect icons of your leader or base avoids additional costs. Discrepancies will deplete your resources further.
• Strategic Investments: Your resources are the lifeblood of your strategies. Use them wisely to unleash your most potent cards at the opportune moments.

The Clash of Titans: Engaging in Combat

Whether in the vacuum of space or on the dusty plains of distant planets, combat is where heroes are forged and legends are made:

• Arenas of War: Units are committed to either ground or space arenas. They must attack within these domains, though all units can strike the opponent’s base.
• The Charge: To initiate an attack, exhaust a ready unit, signaling your intent to engage the enemy.
