And on top of that, all those upgraded cards are now available to be drawn and played, so you’ll be playing bigger and bigger cards over the course of the game.

In this way, you’ll never draw the last five cards of your deck. The non-Forge player plays their creatures to the back of a lane, defensively, to block an attacking creature in that same lane (or just to get ready for the future).Īfter three “turns” (each player performing two actions, resolving combat, swapping the Forge, discarding their hands, and drawing five new cards), the cycle ends, and players will reshuffle their discard piles into their decks before starting their first turn of the next cycle. The Forge player plays their creatures to the front of a lane, in an aggressive position. Playing a creature will let you put it into one of five lanes, preparing for the imminent combat. Playing a spell will have a one-time effect.

After each player has performed two actions, combat resolves, the Forge player switches, players discard their hands, and they draw a new five cards. Then, the non-Forge player can perform one action and then upgrade it. The Forge player gets to perform one action, which almost always means playing one card from hand and then upgrading it (more on that later). Select a player to be the first “Forge player,” and each player draws an opening hand of five cards. Set aside your unused Forgeborn (you probably won’t need this) and your Level 2 & 3 cards (you will definitely need these). Choose one of your two Forgeborn (the heroes of your half-decks) to lead you into battle. Your starting deck is all twenty of your level 1 cards shuffled together. A game of SolForge Fusion starts with each player separating out their Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 cards.
