Setup

Shuffle all cards and deal seven cards face-down to each player to begin.

The rules, step by step

Setup
To set up Fantasy Realms, thoroughly shuffle the entire deck of cards. Deal a starting hand of seven cards face-down to each participating player. Players may look at their own hands but must keep them hidden from opponents. Leave the remaining deck in the center as a draw pile, with space reserved next to it for the discard pile.
Objective
The primary objective of Fantasy Realms is to assemble the most valuable hand of seven cards possible. Players must strategically collect and retain cards whose abilities, bonuses, and multipliers synergize well together while discarding cards that detract from their final point total through severe penalties.
On your turn
During a player's turn, they choose to draw either the top card from the face-down deck or any single face-up card from the discard pile. After adding this card to their hand, the player must choose one card from their hand and place it face-up onto the discard pile, ensuring their hand size always returns to seven cards.
Scoring
At the end of the game, players reveal their hands. Scoring involves adding the base point values of all seven cards in hand, then adjusting those totals based on specific bonuses, penalties, and status effects described on the cards, such as items masking certain categories or interacting with specific character types.
Game end
The game continues clockwise until the discard pile contains a total of ten face-up cards. Once the tenth card is discarded, the current round immediately concludes, and players proceed directly to scoring their hands to determine the winner.
Tips
To streamline point calculations and avoid arithmetic errors with complex card interactions, players can download and use the free official mobile app, which lets you input your hand to automatically calculate your final score and determine the winner.
