ThroneS of Valour
Medieval themed strategic card game
Step into the world of ThroneS: a strategic, casual card game where you deploy soldiers in a battle of secrecy and cunning. Keep your rivals guessing as you outmanoeuvre them through strength and numbers.
Will you emerge as the undisputed ruler or will your Throne crumble in the face of tactical brilliance?
Basic Rules for Deployment
01.
DEAL 5+ CARDS - FACE DOWN - TO EVERY Throne (PLAYER).
02.
THE 1ST Throne ATTACKS THEIR NEIGHBOURING RIVAL, DEPLOYING SELECTED CARD(S) - FACE DOWN.
THE RIVAL Throne SELECTS AND DEPLOYS CARD(S) - FACE DOWN - IN RESPONSE.
03.
BOTH ThroneS
REVEAL THEIR CARD(S), REFERRING TO THE VANQUISHES LIST ON THEIR CARD(S) TO DETERMINE THE WINNER.
04.
A SPOIL IS APPLIED BY THE WINNING CARD(S), EITHER BENEFITING THE WINNING
Throne OR PUNISHING THEIR RIVAL.
ALL DEPLOYED CARDS ARE DISCARDED AND THE WINNER RE-DRAWS.
05.
PLAY MOVES ON WITH THE DEFENDING Throne FROM THE PREVIOUS DEPLOYMENT ATTACKING THEIR NEIGHBOURING RIVAL, AS BEFORE.
BE WARNED:
UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED (SEE ADVANTAGES, BELOW), THRONES MAY NOT DEPLOY DIFFERENT SOLDIERS TOGETHER IN FORMATION, OR RELY ON REINFORCEMENTS THAT DO NOT MATCH THEIR DEPLOYED CARDS.
​
THIS INCLUDES MELEE: SWORDSMEN AND FLAILERS MAY NOT DEPLOY TOGETHER AND NEITHER MAY RANGED: LONGBOW AND CROSSBOW!
A THRONE DEPLOYING SOLDIERS THAT DO NOT MATCH, IMMEDIATELY LOSES AS THEIR CHOSEN SOLDIERS ARE OUT OF FORMATION AND UNUSED TO WORKING TOGETHER !
The Cards
EVERY CARD, EVERY SOLDIER, REPRESENTS 1 OF 13 DIFFERENT CLASSES. EACH CLASS COMES WITH UNIQUE STRENGTHS, NUMBERS & SPOILS.
THE STANDARD CARD FEATURES ARE AS SHOWN:
STRENGTH & VANQUISHING
-
A CLASS'S STRENGTH IS DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF OTHER CLASSES IT CAN VANQUISH (AS SHOWN IN THE VANQUISHES LIST).
-
EACH ICON DISPLAYED REPRESENTS A CLASS THAT CAN BE VANQUISHED.
-
HOWEVER, WHERE AN ICON APPEARS ALONGSIDE THE MULTIPIER [x2], 2 OF THE SOLDIER CLASS AND TYPE MUST BE DEPLOYED TO VANQUISH IT.
-
SECONDLY, THE STRENGTH VALUE DETERMINES HOW MANY OF EACH CLASS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE GAME (WITH THE LEAST POWERFUL NUMBERING 8, AND THE MOST NUMBERING 2).
LEGENDARY CARDS
ALL STANDARD DEPLOYABLE CLASSES (STRENGTH NUMBERS 1 TO 10) HAVE 1 ADDITIONAL LEGENDARY SOLDIER.
LEGENDARY SOLDIERS ARE IDENTIFIED AS GOLDEN IN COLOUR.
