RECRUIT PHASE
Each card has a recruitment cost.
These are paid for with the resources gathered in resource phase.
Strongholds and Hordes are played face up on the Table.
Mighty Magics follow the directions on the card text.
If the active player cannot use all of his resources, the remainder are
passed to the player on his left.
That player may recruit cards if he can. If he has any left, the resources are
passed to the left again.
The Gold Resource can substitute for any other resource.
Some Strongholds have the "convert" ability.
This allows you to use sme types of Resources as if they were other
specific resources for purposes of recruitment.
ATTACK PHASE
The active player may attack with some or all of his Hordes.
Pick an opponent’s Stronghold to be the target of the attack.
The opponent may defend with some, all, or none of his Hordes.
The attacker adds up the Force of all of his attacking Hordes.
The defender adds up the Force of all of his defending Hordes, and the target Stronghold.
Both sides take casualties with a total force value equal to or greater than
the opponent’s total Force value.
The defender must lose his defending Hordes before his Stronghold.
Destroyed cards are discarded.
