Gameplay
The game is played over a series of Duels, each being a group conflict between all players. The players are arranged at random in a circle, and each privately inform the Battle Master which of the Spells listed in the ruleset they intend to cast and who (if anyone) they are casting it at.
When all players have chosen a spell, the Battle Master processes their outcomes, with players gaining and losing "Stars" accordingly.
The game then proceeds to the next Duel.
Wizards can win various Achievements by meeting their criteria (such as having a lot of Stars, or successfully countering a rare spell); the first to win three Achievements wins the dynasty.
