The game starts with the flip of a dime. The winner will choose its King of Darkness first and play first! The opponent will therefore select his King from the remaining ones. Each player starts with a start-deck of 10 cards: The chosen King and 9 Mercenaries!

As the game starts, the Market-Place is built out of the cards from both selected factions.

The two rightmost cards are the private-deck of your opponent. Only he can buy those cards. However with spell-cards you can banish cards also from your opponent’s private cards.
The three cards in the middle of the Market-Place are available to both players, those are the location- & spell-cards from both factions. This means that each king-duel combination provides a fresh and unique collection of cards, which offers different tactical and strategic challenges and possibilities in every game.
At the beginning of the game and at the end of every turn both players draw 5 cards from their Deck. In the very first round the player in second place draws 6 cards!
If your newly drawn Hand does not have enough guldens to buy a card, you can recruit additional Mercenaries in order to be able to buy the cheapest or even the most expensive card from the Market-Place.
Be aware of the Mercenary-Limit. At the beginning of the game you can only “Empire” one Mercenary per turn. A completed group however increases this limit by one!
