Battle Event

Choose the Battle Event when you are ready to attack (and hopefully obliterate) your opponent.

While you don't get to conquer new zones, all your face-up creatures get the additional Strike action into their Action Pool. That means they can attack your opponent's creature zones, potentially fighting other creatures or hitting your opponent for 1 HP.

Additionally, during a Battle Event, all your creatures have First Strike against active blockers. This means that when an opponent's creature actively blocks your attack (rather than passively blocking in its own zone), your attacking creature deals its damage first. If the active blocker is destroyed before it can deal damage back, your creature survives unscathed.

Strike Action

When a creature performs a Strike action, it can target a creature zone (typically your opponent's), regardless of whether it's conquered or not.

• if that zone has a creature, or if the attacker is actively blocked, Fight between two creatures will happen;
• if there are no blockers, you are in luck! Your creature will strike directly at your opponent, hitting them for 1 HP.

When a player takes a hit, they draw a card. If your opponent's HP drops to 0, you win the game. That means you only have to Strike them 6 times to win, but it can be harder than you think to find an opening, and hits can fuel their counter-attacks.
