Draw 3 cards from the quest deck face down

Each player takes a turn, they use an action or explore a facedown quest card

At combat start, players draw 3 ability cards minus the # of facedown action cards

Each turn a player plays a combat card, then flips over a monster ability card.

if you cannot draw enough cards, shuffle discard into deck

If all quest cards have been explored, then discard them and start from the top

Combat starts with the player who explored the monster, then combat turns proceed clockwise

Each combat card is a symbol. Each symbol beats or losing to another symbol. The winning-symbol plays out its effect, the other has no effect

Combat ends when the monster is out of hearts, or when players/monster run out of combat cards (they flee)

Monsters get a # of hearts/combat cards according to the stats on their card. Combat cards are placed facedown in front of their card.

if two of the same symbol are played, both card's effects happen
