Each player tries to collect mythical creatures by winning “tricks” or rounds by skilfully playing their hand of cards, or sometimes, by not winning certain tricks. The player who wins a trick receives a score chip with a mythical creature depicted upon it (Phoenix, Pegasus or Hydra). At the end of each round, these chips count points. However, if you take the last chip of a species of creature, all score chips of this creature type must be returned at the end of the game. In addition, all players try to fulfill the prophecies of their two oracle cards in the course of the game in order to receive additional score points. Whoever has the most points after a certain number of rounds wins the game.
