Progression of the Game Light Hunters is a turn-based card game in which the possibilities increase as the game progresses. Each round is equivalent to its Ether level: 1st round = Ether level at 1, 2nd round = Ether level at 2, up to 5 max. Progression of a Hero Round During a round every hero plays 1 time. To play a skill of a hero we have to refer to the Spirits of Light cards and to the Ether level available for the round. We can choose to play or not, if we choose to play for the round, we have to evoke the skill used on the opposite team and discard one or several Spirits of Light cards consumed. The round of the hero is then finished, it belongs to the following hero to begin his turn. When all the heroes have played, we moved on the next round by increasing the Ether level +1. End of the Game When a battalion killed the enemy camp, it gains the victory. All the heroes from the remaining battalion is then indicated winners, and worthy to get back to their world, free and full of glory.
