The Game:

To Start:

• Players roll a dice to determine who goes first.

• Players draw 5 cards from their personal library.

• Explore the Encounter Library once per player.

Encounter Zone:

This represents the new land that you have been sent to claim. The permanents here are the lands, creatures, artifacts, enchantments and planeswalkers who exist in that area.

Explore:

When a player explores, they reveal cards from the top of the encounter library until they reveal a land card. Put all revealed cards into the encounter zone.

Adoration:

This represents the respect that the inhabitants of this new land feel for you. Earn enough adoration and the people of this land will swear allegiance to your guild.

Enmity:

This represents the general level of fear and destruction you have caused in this territory. A little enmity can make the inhabitants of the region fearful and reluctant to attack you, but if you earn too much enmity, the inhabitants will purge you from the land.

Encounter Zone Rule Variations:

• Cards drawn from the encounter library are placed into the encounter zone face up. Cards in the encounter zone are considered to be in play and can be enchanted, targeted with spells, exiled or destroyed.

• During their main phases, players may pay the mana cost of permanents in the encounter zone to gain control of that permanent.

• Static abilities of permanents in the encounter zone are active.

• Triggered abilities of permanents in the encounter zone that would be triggered will be triggered unless the ability requires a controller who can choose a target.

• Permanents from the encounter library are owned by the encounter and cannot be owned by players.

• Encounter permanents that are returned to their owner's control are returned to the encounter zone.

• When a player gains control of a permanent from the encounter zone, it is considered as "entering the battlefield."

• During a player's draw phase, they may choose to draw a card from their deck and place it into their hand or explore.

• Players may forgo playing a land on their turn in order to place the top card of the encounter library into the encounter zone, if that card is a land, they may put it on the battlefield under their control.

• Cards from the encounter library may not be put into players' hands or libraries. If a permanent owned by the encounter would be placed in a player's hand or library, it is put into the encounter zone instead.

• A player may gain control of a land from the encounter zone only if they have not already played a land this turn.

• If a permanent in the encounter zone has a static ability that affects opponents, it affects all players instead.

• Plainswalkers in the encounter zone may be attacked and lose loyalty.

• There is no limit to the number of permanents that can be in the Encounter Zone.

• Creature cards in the encounter zone with the Flash keyword, lose Flash. Creatures in the Encounter Zone cannot gain Flash.

• Tokens in the encounter zone have a mana value of 0.

Peaceful Acquisitions:

• Players are not removed from the game when their life totals reach 0 or less.

• Players who reach 0 life lose all Adoration counters

• The first player to accumulate ten Adoration wins the game.

• If all players have 0 life, the game ends in a draw. (The inhabitants are not interested in an alliance)

• Players cannot gain adoration.
