Omens may be good, or bad. How your Clan’s Omens

 SETUP
A. Sort the Land cards by the number of players indicated and keep only the cards with a number less than or equal
to the number of players. Put the other cards back in the box, they will not be used during the game.
 EXAMPLE : for a 2-player game, keep the 2+ cards, and return the 3+ and 4+ cards to the box.

B. Each player chooses a clan and the corresponding 12-card Clan deck.
C. Give 2 Victory Point tokens to each player to place them in their Realm (the area of the table in front of
them). Place the remaining tokens in the center of the table.
D. Each player shuffles their Clan deck, placing it face down in their Realm, and draws 5 cards as their starting hand.
E. Shuffle the Land cards and place the deck face down on the table to create the LAND DECK. Draw cards
face up to create 2 Land rows below the Land deck. Each Land row must contain as many Lands as there
are players. The Land row furthest from the Land deck is considered the first.

cards you played so far are visible to the other players.
 NOTE: Do not fill the first Land row’s empty slots before the end of the round. The later you play in the turn order,
the fewer choices you have when it is your turn to add a Land to your Realm.

END OF ROUND
When all players have performed their two actions,
slide the second Land row down to replace the first
Land row. Draw Lands from the Land deck to create a
new second Land row. Then, each player draws cards
from their Clan deck until they have 5 cards in hand,
or their Clan deck is empty.
