Sleeping Dragons (Board Game)

How to Play

The object of the game is to destroy your opponent's forces. The game is won when all of your opponent's pieces have been captured, or when they admit defeat and resign. The game is a Draw if agreed by both players, if 50 moves go by with no pieces dying, or if the same position is repeated on the board 5 times.

Turns and Turn Phases

Each Turn consists of 3 main phases in this order: Magic Phase, Movement Phase, and End Phase.

Magic Phase

At the start of your Magic Phase you will gain 2 Mana if you have a Sleeping Dragon on the board, 3 if you have an Awakened Dragon on the board, and 1 Mana if you have an Effigy on board.

After this if you have enough Mana, you may choose to cast one of your piece's spells. While any type of spell may be cast during your Magic Phase, only Instant type spells may be cast during other phases.

After this your Movement Phase begins.

Movement Phase

During your Movement Phase you must move one of your pieces. If the movement is a piece capture, during your End Phase you will gain 2 Mana (1 for Pawns / Tokins, and 6 for an Awakened Dragon). After movement is complete the turn moves to your End Phase.

End Phase

During your End Phase, the effects of spells may either resolve, or have their duration counted down until it resolves on a later End Phase. Most End Phases will have nothing happen.

Mana

Mana is used for two things: awakening your Dragon, and casting spells.

It is generated by Sleeping Dragons (2MPT), Awakened Dragons (3MPT), Effigy piece (1MPT).

It is awarded in different amounts by capturing pieces.

Capturing an Awakened Dragon awards you 6 Mana.

Capturing a Sleeping Dragon or Piece awards you 2 Mana.

Capturing a Pawn or Tokin awards you 1 Mana.

Killing any piece with a spell or spell's effect does not award you any Mana.

Casting Spells

Instant type spells may be cast anytime you have the Mana, either in response to an action made by you or your opponent, or at the end of any turn phase.

Any other type of spell is "sorcery speed" and may only be cast during your own Magic Phase.

Targeting

Magic Targeting works in one of two ways.

For the base cost of the spell, I.E. 3 Mana, the piece casting the spell may target any square it could already move to in a straight line (no jumping or alternating motion targeting). However many spells have costs like this: 3 (+1) - this means for 3 it can target any square it could already move to, and for each +1 additional Mana you pay it may target +1 square farther in the same direction of its movement. If it were 3 (+2) it would be +2 additional Mana for every 1 square farther you want to target. This does not allow the spell to target more than one square, it only extends the range at which it can target. There is no limit on how many times you can pay to extend the range when casting as long as you have the Mana to do it.
