Each round, players take turns to play a single card from their hand.

Every card has 2 parts: a character with a skillset, rank and special ability, and a goal, each of which has a star value for fulfilling its requirement. These goals apply to both players while the card is in the central area, with fulfilled goals remaining in play.

Cards can be discarded for their special ability, played to the player’s team to fulfill goals using its suit and value, or as a new shared goal.

If no player can secure victory by the time all cards have been played, then the player who holds the artifact is the winner.
