CONQUEST OF OZ

INTRODUCTION
Card game for 2 players. 
Based on the Imaginary world of Oz. 
One player represents the forces of good. 
The other player is the forces of evil. 

VICTORY
If, for 2 turns in a row, starting on turn 6, a player has no viable 
Characters in play, his opponent wins. 

THE DECKS
The Good & Evil Characters each have their own unique Decks. 
The deck contains one of each card in the card list. 
Card Types include: Characters, Companions, Locations, Items, 
Modifiers, Powers, Attacks, Events

DICE
A Twelve-sided die is needed. 

SETUP
Decide who is Good and who is Evil. 
Players get their respective Decks. 
Each player is dealt a hand of 7 cards.

VIABLE CHARACTERS
A viable Character is one that is not: 
Killed, Incapacitated, Exiled, or Captured. 
A Character must be viable for any of its Special Abilities to work. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Each turn has 4 Phases: 
Adventure Phase
Summon Phase
Attack Phase
Rest Phase

ADVENTURE PHASE
Draw 2 cards and put them in your hand.
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. 

SUMMON PHASE
Put permanent cards into play from your hand. 
Permanent cards include: Characters, Companions (Minions), 
Locations, Items, and Modifiers. 
Place Location and Character cards face up in front of you. 
Item, Companion, and Modifier cards are attached to 
individual characters. 
You may organize your Characters into groups. 
A Group can have a max of 4 Members. 
Members of Groups add their Forces for Attack & Defense. 
All Members of a Group are considered to be the same 
Target and suffer the same fate from spells & attacks. 

ATTACK PHASE
Each of your viable characters/groups may make 1 attack per turn. 
An Attack targets an opposing viable character/group.  
First declare all Attacks.
The player who is being attacked is the defender.  
(Targeted Characters are also called “Marked” Characters)
To make an attack you must play (discard) an Attack card.  
The attacker rolls 1D12 and adds the Force of the attacking 
Characters and all attached cards. This is the Attack Total. 
The defender rolls 1D12 and adds the Force of the defending 
Target Characters and all attached cards. This is the Defense Total. 
Players may play (discard) Event and Spell cards to 
temporarily increase their Force. 
The higher Total wins. Attacker wins ties. 
If the Defender wins, the Attack fails, and nothing further happens. 
If the Attacker wins, the Target Characters suffer the fate described 
on The Attack card (Killed, Incapacitated, Controlled, Exiled, or Captured)
Note: Some Attacks do not target an opposing Character/Group. They 
Instead target a Location or friendly Character(s) to be affected. 
In this case, the defender may assign one of his Characters/groups to 
Intervene as if they were being attacked. If the defender wins the 
Battle the Attacker fails at his attempt. If the attacker wins, the 
Attempt is successful. 

FREE ATTACK RULE
For one Attack on your turn you do not have to play an Attack card.
The Free Attack can be used to capture, negate a capture, or 
Negate the control of a Location.   
The Free Attack has no Bonus.

REST PHASE
Max hand size is 7 cards. 
Discard excess cards. 
You may assign each of your Characters/groups to Location cards. 

KILLED
Killed Characters are placed in a special Killed Character card pile. 
All cards attached to the Character are discarded. 

EXILED
Exiled Characters are placed in a special Exiled Character card pile. 
(They are no longer in Oz) 
All cards attached to the Character are discarded. 

INCAPACITATED
Mark Incapacitated Characters with a token. 
You remain in control (possession) of your Incapacitated Character. 

CONTROLLED
If you gain control of an opponents Character, it now becomes your 
Character, and you may attack with it, etc. 
Indicate controlled status with a marker. 
Note that a controlled character is still viable, but only for 
the Player that now controls it. 
Important Point: If the original Attacking Character that brought 
the target character under Control is in turn controlled or 
made unviable, the control is lost, and The target character returns 
to its original owner fully viable. 
(Players will have to remember which character did what to whom)

CAPTURED
You take possession of a Character you have captured. 
A Captured Character is not viable and may not attack, etc. 
Indicate controlled status with a counter. 
All non-modifier cards attached to the Character are discarded. 
Important Point: If the original Attacking Character that captured 
the target character is in turn controlled or made unviable, 
the captive is freed, and The target character returns to its 
original owner fully viable. 

CALL DEFENDER 
Some Event cards allow for a “Call Defender” ability.
These cards are played by the Defender in Attack Phase.  
This lets an unmarked friendly viable character/group to join the 
Marked Character/group in a larger group. 

COUNTER & NEGATE
A Counter card causes a target card to be discarded only as it 
is being played. 
A Negate card causes a target card in play to be discarded or 
target effect to end. 

SPELLS
You cannot play Spell cards unless you have a Spellcaster in play.
