Two Orders. Eight cards. A board of twenty squares. EMPRISE is a tactical card duel in a dark fantasy world: no card draw, no dice, and the only luck imposed on you is who goes first.
HOW IT PLAYS
• Each card carries four ranks, one per side. Place it next to an enemy card: if your rank is higher than the one it faces, that card switches to your side.
• Resonance: make two exact ties in one move, and the tied enemy cards fall together.
• Ripple: cards taken by a Resonance fight for you at once, and the chain can turn the whole board.
• Reserve: before each duel, set two cards aside. On a perfect tie, Sudden Death brings them back. If the tie still holds, the Last Word decides. A duel never ends in a draw.
TEN ORDERS, TEN ABILITIES
Choose two Orders before every duel, or let chance choose for you. Your eight cards are their four cards each, and the duel is won in their alliance.
• Gilded: reversed combat, they capture stronger neighbors.
• Cinders: pull the nearest card on each side, ally or enemy.
• Pikes: pierce the cards lined up in each direction.
• Archers: capture in a straight line, even at range.
• Abyssals: each Abyssal in play strengthens the others.
• Chimeras: flip the rank of each adjacent enemy.
• Plagued: poison the four neighboring squares.
• Guardians: +1 on the attacked rank, for the length of the fight.
• Scribes: ranks hidden in hand, and for a turn after placing.
• Cursed: grow stronger each time they are captured.
