Paper Tales

You pay a Unit's cost when you reveal it during the Deployment phase; Units already in play never have to be repaid. (See page 5.)

Each player is dealt 5 cards, keeps one and passes the rest, repeating until everyone has a new hand of 5; the passing direction changes by turn (left on turns 1 and 3, right on turns 2 and 4). (See page 4.)

A one‑time reveal ability triggers as soon as the Unit is revealed in Deployment, and any Gold earned (e.g. from Monkey) can be used immediately to pay deployment costs. (See pages 5 and 8.)

Add the shield (strength) values of Units in your Front (stars indicate modifiers), then compare your total separately to each neighbour; having equal or greater strength wins that War (ties mean both players win) and each War won scores 3 Legend Points. (See page 5.)

Resource production is not spent — you only need the required resources to be produced by cards in your Kingdom; when constructing a new Building you also pay 2 Gold per Building you already own as Land cost, and upgrading from level 1 to 2 has no Land cost (only the level‑2 resource requirement). (See page 6.)

During the Aging phase any Unit that already has one or more Age tokens is discarded, then you add one Age token to every surviving Unit; any player with at least one level‑2 Building immediately gains the 5th Front spot for deployments. (See page 7.)
