INTRODUCTION
Fantasy Card game. 2-6 players.
Players take the role of Arthurian Knights on the quest for the Holy Grail.

OBJECT
The first player to accumulate 7 'Quest' tokens is the winner.

MATERIALS
There are 65 cards in the deck.
Players will have to create their own cards in order to play.
The backs of all cards are the same.
The front of each card should include: Its name, level, type, and 
whether it is a 'Test' or an 'Aid'. 
A six sided die is required to play.
7 'quest tokens' per player are needed.

SETUP
Place all the 'Quest' tokens in a pile in the center of the table.
Each player draws 4 cards.
To determine turn order each player cuts the deck. 
The player who cut to the highest level card is goes first.
Shuffle the deck. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. Each turn is divided into phases. 
1. Draw Phase
2. Fate Phase
3. Adventure Phase
4. Quest Phase

DRAW PHASE
Draw 2 cards.
If the deck runs out, reshuffle the discard pile and continue. 
Maximum had size is 7 cards. Discard excess cards.

FATE PHASE
Declare whether or not you are questing for the grail this turn. 
If you are not questing, your turn ends and you may draw one extra card. 
If you are questing take a 'Test' card of level 5 or higher and place it face down.
This is your 'Quest' card for the turn. 

ADVENTURE PHASE
The opponent to your left may play a 'Test' card of level 6 or less.
You may play one or more 'Aid' cards. 
Roll 1D6 and add the value of the 'Aid' cards. 
If this total is equal to or greater than the level of the 
Test card, than you have passed the test.
If the total is less, than your turn ends immediately. 
All cards played are discarded.
If you passed the test than the other players going clockwise may
each in turn test you.
This continues until no opponents offer any more tests.

QUEST PHASE
Play one or more 'Aid' cards. 
Roll 1D6 and add the value of the 'Aid' cards. 
If this total is equal to or greater than the level of the 
Quest card, than you have completed the quest.
If you have completed the quest than gain one Quest token.
If the total is less, than you do not get a quest token. 
All cards played are discarded.
If you accumulate 7 Quest tokens, than you are deemed 
worthy to receive the Holy Grail, and you win.
