Game Setup

Field Setup

1. Shuffle the 20 Event cards and place them in the Event card area of the central board.
2. Of the Situation cards, set aside the cards marked 【Climax】 (3 cards). From the remaining 10 cards, remove 2 at random without looking at their contents, shuffle the other 8, and place them in the Situation card area of the central board. (The printed illustration for this step carries the caption "Remove the 3 Climax cards".)
3. Place the Terrain Advantage tokens on their corresponding spaces.
4. Referring to the Servant composition printed on each Servant Tarot, make one Servant deck per Servant by gathering its Attack cards and Noble Phantasm / Skill cards.

All decks prepared in this step are kept face down so that the card contents cannot be seen.

Player Setup

1. Every player receives one Master board, chosen or random. If playing with 6 or fewer players, Sakura Matou cannot be chosen at the start: she enters the game by replacing Shinji Matou, so she is not available as an initial choice. Thereafter, that player plays the chosen Master. See the Master and Servant Information section.
2. Receive Mana tokens and place them on the Mana track at the space marked "Initial value".
3. Receive Command Seal tokens and place them on the Command Seal area of the Master board.
4. Every player receives at random a Servant Tarot and its corresponding Servant deck. After checking your own Servant Tarot, place it face down so the other players cannot see it. Then remove the Noble Phantasm / Skill cards from the Servant deck and place them face down beside the Servant Tarot. In this way, no player except you knows which Servant you are commanding.
5. Shuffle the remaining Attack cards of the Servant deck and place the deck in the Servant deck area of the Master board.
6. Place your War Results token on the 0 space of the War Results track on the central board.
7. Decide the first start player by rock-paper-scissors or similar. The start player receives the Start Player marker and places it near their Master board.

This completes game setup and the game begins.

(The printed illustration for this step shows Mana tokens placed on the Mana track at the "Initial value" space.)

Game Progress Quick Reference

The game proceeds by repeating rounds. Each round consists of the following four phases, carried out in order:

1. Preparation Phase
2. Pre-Outpost Phase
3. Action Phase
4. Battle Phase

1: Preparation Phase

Each player adds cards one at a time from the top of their Servant deck to their hand until they have 3 cards. On the central board, reveal the top Situation card, then place the top Event card face up at Miyama Town and another face down at Shinto.

2: Pre-Outpost Phase

Starting with the start player, and proceeding clockwise, players place their Master pieces on the central board. Continue until all players have placed their pieces.

3: Action Phase

Reveal all face-down Event cards on the central board. Then, starting with the start player and proceeding clockwise, each player performs their action: movement and battle preparation (Attack cards and Noble Phantasm / Skill cards). The phase ends when every player has acted once.

4: Battle Phase

Compare the total Power at Miyama Town and at Shinto. At each battlefield, the player with the highest total Power gains the War Results shown on the Event card there. If that player won against other Masters, they additionally gain the War Results shown on the central board.

After the Battle Phase, prepare as follows and begin the Preparation Phase of the next round:

1. All players place their used cards in the trash area, in the orientation in which they were used. Used Noble Phantasm / Skill cards are returned face up beside the Servant Tarot.
2. Return the Terrain Advantage tokens to their original battlefields.
3. Place the Situation cards on the Round Display; gather the Event cards outside the board.
4. Move the Start Player marker one player clockwise.

Detailed Rules for Each Phase

1: Preparation Phase

❶ Refilling the hand Each player draws cards from the Servant deck area until they have 3 cards in hand.

❷ Revealing the Situation card Turn face up the top card of the deck in the Situation card area on the central board. At this point, carry out the Supply and Additional Rules effects printed on the card.

❸ Placing Event cards Place the top card of the Event deck face up in the Miyama Town Event card area, and place another card face down in the Shinto Event card area.

When a deck runs out:

• If the Servant deck area has no cards when refilling hands, turn all the cards in the trash area face down, shuffle them, and place them in the Servant deck area.
• Likewise, if the Event card deck runs out, turn all used Event cards face down, shuffle them, and place them in the Event card area.

2: Pre-Outpost Phase

Starting with the start player marker holder, and proceeding clockwise, players place their Master pieces. After each player places a piece, the next player clockwise places theirs. The phase ends when all players have placed their pieces.

❶ Placing a Master piece A player may place their Master piece on any of the three locations on the central board: Magus Workshop, Miyama Town, or Shinto. The location determines whether the player gains Mana or Terrain Advantage.

• Magus Workshop: the player gains Mana. The first player to place a piece here gains 2 Mana; each player placing after them gains 1 Mana. Up to 4 players can place here.
• Miyama Town / Shinto: battlefields where a player fights other players. A player placing here first in the Pre-Outpost Phase gains Terrain Advantage at that battlefield: the first player to place gets a +3 Terrain Advantage token, and the next player gets a +1 Terrain Advantage token. Even if the tokens run out, a piece can still be placed.
• Reconnaissance: no pieces may be placed here during the Pre-Outpost Phase. A player who enters Reconnaissance during the Action Phase gains 2 War Results. Up to 1 player may be placed here.

Playing with 4 or fewer players

Take a Master piece that no player has chosen. On an odd-numbered turn, place it on the "11" space of the Power track at Shinto. On an even-numbered turn, place it on the "11" space of the Power track at Miyama Town.

This piece is not controlled by any player, but it takes part in battles at the battlefield where it is placed. From here on, this character is called an NPC.

3: Action Phase

At the start of the Action Phase, turn all face-down Event cards on the central board face up. Then the player with the start player marker acts first, and each player acts in clockwise order. An action consists of ❶ Movement and ❷ Battle Preparation. After a player finishes their action, the next player clockwise acts. The phase ends when every player has acted once.

❶ Movement

By paying the Mana shown on the board, a player may move their Master piece in the direction of the arrows. Movement is one-way: you may only move in the order Magus Workshop → Miyama Town → Shinto → Reconnaissance. A player may also stay where they are.

By paying a combined amount of Mana, such as 3 or 5, a player may move from Magus Workshop directly to Shinto or Reconnaissance.

If, at the start of this step, there are two or more Master pieces on the battlefield where the player is (Miyama Town or Shinto), that battlefield is said to be in an engaged state, and the piece cannot be moved by this method.

Note: a player who is not in an engaged state may pass through a battlefield occupied by other players.

❷ Battle Preparation

Unless affected by a special effect, a player uses 2 cards. Perform the following steps in order: ① card selection, ② paying Mana, ③ activating special effects, and ④ calculating total Power.

Note: if a card has a special effect marked "Constant:", that effect applies even while the card is still in hand.

① Card selection

• A player may choose Attack cards or Noble Phantasm / Skill cards from their hand. The total Mana cost of the chosen cards must not exceed the Mana the player holds.
• A Noble Phantasm / Skill card can be chosen only if the player holds 8 or more Mana.
• Each Attack card is used either face up or face down:
  • Face up: the card's Base Power, Attribute, Mana cost, and special effects are used.
  • Face down: the card is treated as an Attack card with Base Power 0, no Attribute, Mana cost 0, and no special effect.

② Paying the Mana cost

Add up the Mana costs of all the chosen cards and pay them at once.

③ Activating special effects

• If a card's special effect includes 【True Name Release】, turn the Servant Tarot face up at this point.
• If a card has a special effect written as "On Use:", activate it at this point.
• If a card has a special effect written as "On Clash:", that effect is activated during the Battle Phase, which follows the Action Phase.
• If several effects activate at the same timing, the player who used the cards chooses the order.
• If a card's special effect contains "Lingering:", then in the round in which the card is used, the effect written after "Lingering:" is not activated. The effects written after "Lingering:" are activated from the next round onward. A card that is lingering cannot be used again.

④ Calculating total Power

After using cards at Miyama Town or Shinto, calculate the player's total Power. On the Power track on the central board, place the Master piece on the space matching the total Power.

Total Power is calculated as follows:

• Base Power of Card A
• • Base Power of Card B
• • Terrain Advantage tokens
• • effects of Event cards, Command Seals, and Situation cards
• = Total Power

If 3 or more cards are used, add together the Base Power of all the cards used.

Supplementary notes on using Noble Phantasm / Skill cards

• The Mana for all cards is paid simultaneously. With 12 Mana, a player may use a Noble Phantasm / Skill card costing 8 and one costing 4 at the same time.
• A Noble Phantasm / Skill card that has been used is not placed in the trash area. It is returned face up beside the Servant Tarot, and it may be used again once the player again has enough Mana.
• A card marked cannot be used if it is face up.

❸ Using Command Seals

A player may use Command Seals only during their own Action Phase. A Command Seal may be used at any of the following timings: before moving, between moving and battle preparation, or after battle preparation. More than one Command Seal may be used at once.

After declaring a Command Seal use, choose one of the three options below and carry out its effect. Remove from the Master board as many Command Seal tokens as were used.

Option	Effect
1	Gain 4 Mana.
2	Add +2 to the total Power. If the player then wins the battle, they gain 2 additional War Results.
3	Ignoring the engaged state, move to any location other than Magus Workshop at a cost of 0 Mana.

4: Battle Phase

If a card has an "On Clash:" special effect, it is activated in this phase. Special effects are activated starting with the player holding the Start Player marker and proceeding clockwise.

• The player with the highest total Power at Miyama Town and the player with the highest total Power at Shinto each win the battle at their battlefield.
• If only one player is at a battlefield, that player gains only the War Results shown on the Event cards.
• If two or more players are at a battlefield, the winner gains the War Results shown on the Event cards, plus an additional 2 War Results at Miyama Town or an additional 3 War Results at Shinto.
• If two or more players are tied for the highest total Power, all of them gain War Results. However, the War Results each of them gains equal the total War Results of the Event cards plus the winner's additional War Results, divided by the number of tied players and rounded up.

Note: when a card or effect adds an Event card to a battlefield, the winner gains the total War Results of all Event cards at that battlefield.

After the Battle Phase, prepare as follows and begin the next round:

1. All players place their used cards in the trash area. Used Noble Phantasm / Skill cards are returned face up beside the Servant Tarot.
2. Return the Terrain Advantage tokens to their original battlefields.
3. Place the Situation cards on the Round Display; gather the Event cards outside the board.
4. Move the Start Player marker one player clockwise.

The Climax Round

After the 8th round ends, the Climax Round begins.

1. The four phases (Preparation, Pre-Outpost, Action, and Battle) are carried out in order, as in the normal rounds.
2. After the 8th round or a Climax Round ends, and before the next round begins, elimination takes place. An eliminated player cannot take part in the rest of the game.
3. The Situation card used in a Climax Round is the card marked 【Climax】 that corresponds to the number of players remaining.
4. Climax Rounds continue until one player remains. The last player remaining is the winner of the game.

Elimination

Players are eliminated in ascending order of War Results. If players are tied on War Results, all tied players are eliminated.

After the 8th round, and before the next round begins:

• With 5 or more players, eliminate players in order of fewest War Results until 4 or fewer players remain.
• With 4 or fewer players, eliminate the one player with the fewest War Results.

After a round in which a 【Climax】 Situation card was used, and before the next round begins:

• After a round using a card marked "Climax: 4 or more remaining" or "Climax: 3 remaining", eliminate players in order of fewest War Results until 2 or fewer players remain.
• After a round using a card marked "Climax: 2 remaining", eliminate the one of the two players with fewer War Results.

Casual Rules

These casual rules are for players who are not familiar with board games. Under the casual rules, the maximum number of players is 4.

Casual Game Setup

Field setup

1. Shuffle the four Situation cards shown in the illustration and place them in the Situation card area of the central board. The remaining Situation cards are not used under the casual rules. (The rulebook illustration shows these four cards as one sun-marked card and three crescent-moon-marked cards. Their individual names are not printed in the text and are not legible at print resolution in this transcription.)
2. Place the Terrain Advantage tokens on their corresponding spaces.
3. Referring to each Servant Tarot, make one Servant deck per Servant by gathering its Attack cards and Noble Phantasm / Skill cards.

All decks prepared in this step are kept face down so that the card contents cannot be seen.

Player setup

Follow the Player Setup in the normal rules (see the section "Game Setup"). Under the casual rules, after this setup is complete and before the first round begins, every player gains 2 Mana.

Casual Game Progress

2: Pre-Outpost Phase

Starting with the start player and proceeding clockwise, players place their Master pieces on the central board.

3: Action Phase

Starting with the start player and proceeding clockwise, players perform movement and battle preparation (the use of cards). During this phase, a player may use Command Seals at any convenient time while moving or preparing for battle.

• If a player is alone at a battlefield, that player gains 2 War Results.
• If a player wins a battle, they gain 4 War Results at Miyama Town or 5 War Results at Shinto.

After the Battle Phase, prepare as follows and begin the next round:

2. Return the Terrain Advantage tokens to their original battlefields.
3. Place the Situation cards on the Round Display; gather the Event cards outside the board.
4. Move the Start Player marker one player clockwise.

After 4 rounds, the player who has gained the most War Results is the winner of the game.

Glossary of Cards and Abilities

Game Start The time before the Preparation Phase of the first round begins.

Special Cards The Kanshou and Bakuya card, the Gandr card, and the Snake card are Special cards. The "Kanshou and Bakuya" card is used by a player whose Master is Shirou Emiya, and the "Gandr" card is used by a player whose Master is Rin Tohsaka. These cards are kept at hand from the start of the game and can be used at any time. "Kanshou and Bakuya" returns to hand after the turn ends in which it is used. "Snake" is shuffled into the Servant deck of Souichirou Kuzuki, two cards in total. After "Snake" is used, it is placed in the trash area.

Extra Use When a Special card is used as an extra card, the number of cards used from hand may be 3 or more.

Prohibited Use If a specific card is prohibited from use, the player cannot use that card during the Action Phase. The same applies when a Special card is added for use by an ability.

Attribute + X When an effect of this kind applies, the Base Power of all cards with that Attribute increases by X.

Adding an Event When an effect of this kind applies, an Event card is added to that battlefield. It is placed face up or face down as the effect states. In the Battle Phase, when a winner (or the sole player) gains War Results, the winner gains the total War Results of all Event cards.

Base Power Base Power is the Power value printed on a card. For example, if a card with Base Power 2 and the "Strength" Attribute is affected by an effect that sets its Base Power to 5 and by an effect that gives the "Strength" Attribute +3, its Base Power becomes 8.

Changing the Master to Sakura Matou Remove the Shinji Matou Master board and replace it with the Sakura Matou Master board. Also replace the Master piece and War Results token with the appropriate ones.
