Each player's goal is to earn victory points () by capturing enemy units and securing the realm’s three Control Areas. Over a series of rounds, players take turns until one of two game-end conditions is triggered; at this point, the active player finishes their turn, and all other players play one final turn in order (see Game End and Scoring):

1. Securing Control Areas (see Securing a Control Area):

• In a 4-player game: All 3 Control Areas are secured.

• In a 3-player game: 2 Control Areas are secured.

• In a 2-player game: 1 Control Area is secured.

2. All of one player’s units have been Captured (see Capturing Units).
