Drawing Cards

The journey begins with each player drawing 5 cards. On the very first turn, the starting player is limited to playing just one card, setting the stage for the unfolding combat.

Choosing the Active World

As each turn begins, players must select their Active World from one of the three in their deck. This World becomes the focal point for your turn, allowing you to play any cards associated with that World without limitation.

Playing Cards

Dawnshard includes three unique card types: Creatures, Actions, and Artifacts. Mastering these cards is essential for battlefield dominance. Use Creatures to control the game, Actions to unleash powerful combos, and Artifacts to secure an advantage.

Refilling Your Hand

At the end of each turn, the active player refills their hand to maintain a total of 5 cards, ensuring they are always ready for the next challenge.

Winning the Game

The ultimate objective in Dawnshard is to gather 15 Shards before your opponent. The first player to begin their turn with 15 Shards emerges victorious, claiming the glory of the match.

Earning Shards

Shards can be collected in various ways: by utilizing the Reap action of a creature, playing specific cards from your hand, or activating unique card effects. Each shard brings you closer to victory, so use your resources wisely and strategically.
