Attack
Creating the dice pool
Select a combination of dice up to your stamina. Each color is limited to a number of dice as shown
by the skills on your selected helmet. Neither lost dice nor exhausted dice can be chosen.

You cannot choose more dice than you have available, even if your stamina would allow you to.
Roll and assign dice
Roll your dice pool. Then assign dice to your equipment and execute the resulting action if possible.

To activate an action, you place one or more dice on the card which have a sum of the target value or
more. Each action can be activated multiple time per turn.

Each equipment card has a limit on the number of dice which can be used for activation. If the limit is
reached, no more actions can be performed on this card.

Then set all unassigned dice to 1.

Dragon Attack
Select the next attack
You select the dragon’s counter using the row of the top dragon card showing the body part that you
attacked this turn on the next dragon card. If the dragon was not damaged, execute the top attack of
the next card. Then move the top card below the deck.

If the selected body part has no HP remaining, execute the action instead of the normal action.

Apply damage and other effects

Reduce the damage received by your armor. The remaining damage must be distributed to the dice
assigned to your equipment. For each point of damage, you select one die and increase its value.
Each die must be selected before one can be assigned an additional point of damage. If a die showing
6 is selected, you must move it to the lost dice, reducing your available dice. If no assigned dice are
remaining to take damage, increase exhausted dice from low to high, starting with dice showing 2.

Take a Breath
Move dice to exhausted
Move all dice you rolled this turn, from equipment and unassigned, to the exhausted dice.

Reduce dice values and reclaim dice

Reduce each exhausted die by 1. Then reclaim all dice showing a 1 and move them to your available
dice.

End of the Game and Winning

You win the game as soon as all dragon body parts are reduced to 0 HP. If at any point you don’t
have lost all dice or no way to do damage, you lose.
