A player will pass automatically if they run out of cards. A tie will result in both players losing a life gem. A round is won when your score is higher than your opponent's. The objective is to win two rounds, removing both life gems from the opponent - and preventing them from doing the same.Note that you will not draw any more cards during the game, unless you possess units with the Espionage ability.
