Saga of Soldiers & Heroes begins with one simple mechanic: When a player takes their turn, they draw one card from their deck, then they play one card from their hand. That's all.
The play area is divided into three battle. When a card is played, it is added to one of the battles, where its force value will be added to its side.
The game is played over five rounds. Each player plays with a deck of units: 9 basic soldiers and 3 heroes. You get to choose which heroes you want to include each round. Heroes can be stronger than Soldiers, but more importantly, each hero has a unique special ability.
The game includes 15 different heroes. Both players have an identical collection to choose from.
When both players have played all of their cards, the round ends and victory points are awarded for winning the battles.
