THE GUARDIAN DECK

Guardian Cards generate Force Points which are needed to 
Capture Adventure cards. 
Guardian cards have a base Force between 1 and 5. 
In combination some Guardian cards will generate additional Force. 

THE ADVENTURE DECK
Most Adventures have a Force between 17 and 25 requiring 
Multiple Guardian cards to be melded to complete them.  

SETUP
Shuffle the Decks. 
Flip over the top card of the Adventure Deck. 
Deal 5 Guardian Cards to each player.

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Each turn has 5 Phases:
1. Peril Phase
2. Hero Phase
3. Action Phase
4. Adventure Phase
5. End Phase

PERIL PHASE
If an Adventure was completed last turn, flip over the 
Top card of the Adventure deck. 
Normally there will only be 1 face up adventure card at a time. 

HERO PHASE
Your hand is composed of Guardian cards (From the Guardian Deck). 
If your hand is less than 7 cards fill it to 7. Otherwise draw 2 cards. 
If the Guardian Deck ever runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. 

ACTION PHASE
-Some cards you may reveal or discard from your hand to gain a specified benefit. 
This type of card play occurs in this Phase. 
-You may always discard a Tactics card to draw 2 cards (Max once this Phase).

Hands and steal 1 card.

ADVENTURE PHASE
-You may play cards to make Meld. 
-The combined force of all cards in the Meld must equal or exceed the Force of 
The current Adventure in which case you complete it and put it in your 
Victory Pile. Then Discard all cards in the Meld. 
-Note: When making a Meld, you can only use one card representing an 
individual Hero, or Ship, or Thing.
