How to play?
Players take turns simultaneously and perform a specific sequence of actions each round:
1. At the beginning of the round, the player rolls the dice and places it in front of themselves so that the other players can see its value.
2. During the round, each player selects one card and places it in front of them face down. Then all cards are revealed. If a player's card does not match the card of other players, they can apply its effect. The card allows changing the value of the die or the conditions for victory in the current turn. If players have laid down identical cards, they cancel each other out, and players cannot apply their effects.
3. The player with the highest die value wins the turn and receives victory points. Then players choose a card from their hand again and place it on the table face down.
The round ends when one of the players has only one card left in hand or one of the players scores 8 points. In such a case, players retrieve the discarded cards back to their hand and start a new round.
The game ends when one of the players wins in two rounds. In this case, they become the new ruler of the Twelve Kingdoms!
