The First Turn
At this point, the game can begin! Whoever deployed first also has the first turn. Consult the 'Game Rules' to learn how to play the game.
First Turn Limitations
If you are going first you cannot do the following on your first turn (effectively skipping the relevant Phases/Steps):
- Pick up Treasure
- Engage
- Cast spells
- Make Ranged Attacks
This prevents situations where a player is not able to at least attempt to avoid Ranged Attacks and Engages from the opposing enemy.
Vanguard Units
Before the first turn, any units with the 'Vanguard' skill may make a Move or Run action. If both players have Vanguard units, the player that is going first will move their Vanguard units, followed by the other player.
