here are the rules   Items in green are things I'm debating about.

 

The Wheel of Time : The Lord of Chaos

 

 

Use team selector dice to determine teams.  The dice has one face for each team and two wheel of time faces.  The wheel of time faces  mean you can choose  any available team.

 

The shadow army moves first  and then in clockwise  order the army of the light,  Children of the light, and lastly the Seanchan.

 

Turns and battle.

 

1. First thing you do on your turn is to draw a card from your teams support deck.  One card each turn   to a max of three.  If you have three you can choose to discard and draw  a new one.  Keep this card in your hidden area. Some cards can be played before you move. Some must be played in battle and others can be played after battle has ended.

 

2. Next you roll the twenty sided  blue movement dice. All units start from your seal disc. You may move as many units in any combination as the number rolled allows up to a max of five spaces per unit.   Example you roll 15.  You could move 2 units 5 spaces each and 2 units 1 space  and another 3 which totals up to 15.  You can move and attack.  Attack and move but you cannot move-attack-move.

 

Special cards from the "the wheel weaves as the wheel wills" deck will be  drawn if you roll a 1 ,11 ,15 ,or 20 on your movement.  ( this is under debate)

 

3. Attacking an enemy can be done by moving your unit next to an enemy unit.   You and your enemy each roll your six sided white dice to determine what characters are doing battle.  These characters are listed by number and stats on your notes card as well as further down in these instructions.  Attacker can now lay down any attack support cards they wish to use as the defender can as well.  Attackers use the red attack dice in the amount detailed by unit  type plus any bonuses.  The defender using the yellow dice does the same.  Highest total roll wins battle and losers unit is removed from the board.

 

To win the game you must obtain your enemies seals or wipe them out.  To capture a seal you must defeat all units within a space of the seal.  ( the game begins with 6 surrounding your seal)

 

Once a seal is captured you can use either your own seal or  the captured seal to start any reinforcements.    The team whos  seal has been captured is down but not out.  They can still retake their seal but they cannot reinforce/ gain any new units unless by converting them with special cards. Until they regain thier own seal or an enemies.

As you can see the rules   gives you how to play and a break down of each teams units (  unit info  also available to each team  via index card at their seat of the table)

 

 

I've ponied up to 30 support cards for each team. I just wondering if having a max of 3  cards in hand  or 5 would be better.  ( this will probably come with testing)

 

 

Also I'm wondering the best way to decide how to pick up the "wild" cards  that can be very helpful, harmful to you, or harmful to all.  Most are cards that are played immediately  but some can be added to your hand with no penalty.

 

 

Do you think dice roll of   1, 11, 15, 20 is a good idea or  I can add counters for each team and lets say each time you defeat 5 enemies you pick a card?   Or maybe some other way I haven't even  thought  of?
