Leading card

menu
Placeholder

At the start of a round when a player selects 2 ability cards to play facedown, they choose one of those cards as their leading card.

When players reveal their selected cards for the round, place the leading card on top so that its initiative value is visible.

Initiative order is determined by comparing the initiative values on all played monster ability cards and all of the players’ leading cards.

Whoever has the lowest initiative value takes their turn first, then the next highest, and so on until every figure on the board has acted.
