Mage Knight Board Game

You may end your turn by playing or discarding at least one card (or skip only if your hand is empty); if your Deed deck is empty you may forfeit your turn to announce the end of the round (you must announce if you also have no cards in hand) and other players get one last turn (page 1).

You gain and spend move points from movement effects (cards/abilities) and play non-wound cards sideways for 1 Move each; spend move points according to terrain cost and you can spend 2 move points to explore and reveal an adjacent tile (pages 1).

Hero wounds are taken as Wound cards into your hand and can only be removed by spending healing (playing healing effects or buying healing at villages/monasteries); unit wounds are placed on the unit (making it unusable) and must be healed by paying the unit's healing cost (healing can be done any time on your turn except during combat) (page 2).

Combat proceeds in six steps: 1) Reveal all enemies, 2) Ranged/Siege attacks, 3) Block, 4) Damage assignment, 5) Attack (melee) phase, and 6) Outcome/resolution (apply shields, rewards, removals, or withdrawals) (page 2).

A city is conquered when all its defenders are defeated (rampaging enemies do not count as defenders), after which shields/leader are awarded; fortified sites work similarly — defeat the site's defenders to place shields and mark the site (page 2).

At the end of your turn you discard any number of cards (you must discard if you didn't discard during the turn) and then draw until you reach your hand limit; being on or next to your own keeps or conquered cities can increase your hand limit (page 1).
