For beginners
This game is simple. Don't overthink it. Just focus on guessing your opponent's hand.
If you think it's difficult, play defensively. Accumulate strong numbers and deceive your opponent until the deck runs out!
You can start developing a strategy once you've gained some experience.

🔷Preparation
0. Decide the order of play in advance.
[If you find common methods like rock-paper-scissors a bit boring, you can shuffle the cards, draw one card at a time in turn, and have the player with the highest number start.]
1. Shuffle the cards and create a draw pile.
Place the draw pile horizontally, then place the “Sword of Victory” vertically, face up, so that it stands perpendicular to the draw pile.
You can also place the (Sword of the End) and other similar items here, but since it’s a hassle to retrieve them, stack them face up next to the draw pile—except for the Sword of Victory.
This is called the “Noble Phantasm Storehouse.”
【If playing with 6 people, you may prepare another set. You are free to either create a deck on the opposite side or combine the two 40-card sets.】
*When playing with 3 people, a 20-card set is sufficient. If combining the two 40-card sets, it’s easier to keep the game flowing if you limit cards numbered 0, 10, and 9 to one copy each.
All players draw one card each from the deck.
Then, draw one more card each to form your hand.
[Call one card the “Main Card” and the other the “Support Card” → Both are in your hand.]
Everyone except the first player places their Support Card face-down on the table. Once everyone has only one card left in their hand, give the signal to start.
If someone still has two cards, they’re thinking—please wait for them! By reducing your hand to one card, you signal to your opponents that your turn is over. *This is to prevent card swapping or mix-ups.
2. Which card will you make the winner? Strategies vary—guessing your opponent’s hand, winning by luck, or winning through influence.
For each win, you earn 1 PREUVE. The first player to collect three PREUVES is the winner.
