Beschreibung
The game is composed of two decks of cards: one deck of sixty Action cards and one of forty Location cards. Each Location card has three of five possible symbols: Valour, Strength, Courage, Wisdom, or Spirit. Each Action Card has two random symbols on it. The deck of Location Cards is placed face down in the center of the table and the top three cards from it are laid face-up in a row. This is called the ‘Display’. The Action deck is placed face down nearby as a draw pile and the top card is turned face-up beside it to start the Discard pile.

Each player is dealt three Location Cards, which they place in a row face-up in front of them. This is their ‘Array’. The player is then dealt three Action Cards, which they keep hidden as part of their hand. At the start of their turn, each player either draws the top card from the Action deck or takes the top card from the face-up Discard pile, unless it is a Special card. Players may now do one of three things: 1) Play an Action Card from their hand to match one of the symbols on any of the Location Cards in their Array, or play a Special Action card from their hand and follow the instruction text; or 2) Re-arrange Action Cards which are already matched to Location Cards; or 3) Discard all your Action or Location Cards and draw three new ones. The player’s turn has now ended.

At the end of their turn, the player must have three Location Cards in their Array, and three Action Cards in their hand. They must draw or discard as necessary, and also make sure there is at least one face-up card in the Action discard pile. If the Action Card deck runs out, the discard pile is turned over to form the new one, then the top card is turned face-up to form the new discard pile.

When all three symbols on one of a player’s Location Cards have been matched, the player declares it ‘Completed’ and places it face-down in their ‘Completion Pile’. They then draw a new Location Card from the Display and add it to their Array, and turn up a new card and add it to the Display. When a player has completed six Location Cards, they are the winner, unless the players agree beforehand to play to eight.
