How to play:

Prepare…

Before you get to walloping your opponents, you’ve got to set up your board, and plan your first move!

Choose your character!

There are 6 different ones, each with a unique color.

Draw your arsenal!

Five Action Cards should fill your hand, each containing a possible action.

Know your foes !

You should have special Target Cards as well, one for each other player.

Fight!

Choose your move, select your target, and lock it in.

Strategize.

Pick an Action card and a Target card, and put them face down in front of you.

The action you picked will affect the target you chose!

Reaveal!

All your planning comes to a head! all players flip to reveal their hidden Action and Target cards, and resolve their effects!

Resolve.

Action cards resolve in a special Phase order, denoted by their symbol.

Types of Action Cards

  • Attack to deal damage, Block to prevent it, or Heal to restore it !

  • Play a Magic card that has a powerful effect that can shake up the game in unique ways.

  • Equip a Treasure and a Potion to bolster your strength, or weaken your enemies!

  • Discard cards from your hand to build up a strong one!

  • Or, perform a sneaky Reveal action, that goes before everything else!

Reset!

After everything is resolved, everyone discards their played Action Card, and takes back their played Target Card. Be sure to draw back up to 5 Action Cards, and If there is more than one person left standing, do it all over again until there is only one player with any Health remaining, and they are crowned the Notebook Knockout Champion!
