Rules of the game

🧱 Official Game Rules – Tribal Order

🧰 Items Needed

  • A coin (for flips and random effects)

  • Paper and pen (to keep track of health points, healing, added armor)

🔧 Setup

  • Each player starts with a 30-card deck. If you don’t have 30 cards yet, or are in a hurry, you can play with a 20 card deck. 

  • Decks must have no more than 10 Rare cards and 1 Legendary card. You may include up to 1 copy of each Common card, but no duplicate Rare or Legendary cards are allowed.

  • No legendary cards can be played first turn.

  • Shuffle your deck thoroughly and place it face-down.

  • Each player draws 5 cards from the top of their deck as their starting hand.

  • Flip a coin to decide who goes second — the player who goes second attacks first.

🎮 Gameplay

Players alternate turns. On your turn, you may:

  1. Draw one card from your deck.

  2. Play one card from your hand onto the play area
    (Maximum of 3 cards in play at once per player)

  3. Attack once using one of your cards in play
    (unless a card effect allows otherwise).

🗡️ Attacking

  • Choose one of your cards to attack one of your opponent’s cards.

  • If an attack has a 50/50 chance or involves randomness, flip a coin.

  • When a card’s health reaches zero, place it in the discard pile.

⚠️ Card Effects

  • Make sure to read each card’s attacks carefully.
    Some effects may be instant, passive, or triggered in special ways.

  • Track health, healing, and armor bonuses using your paper and pen.

🏆 Winning the Game

  • The game continues with players drawing, playing, and attacking each turn.

  • When all of a player's cards are in the discard pile, they lose.

  • If a player can no longer attack or play a card with an attack, they automatically lose the game.

🪙 Coin Flips

Use coin flips to resolve:

  • Attacks with a 50/50 chance of success

  • Random effects or random target selection
