1. Players choose which group to be in. (Incas or

Conquistadors.) If you cant choose, then play Rock,
Paper, Scissors. Winner chooses first.
2. Sort out the cards that go to your character group.
3. Younger player goes first.
Playing the Game
1. Shuffle the deck of cards. Take 6 out randomly. Look at
the cards you pulled and do not let the other player see
them.
2. Both players choose three cards they want to put in play
and put them face down in front of them.
3. Younger player chooses one of the opponents three to
flip over. Once this is done, the other player does the
same thing.
4. Look at your cheat sheet to determine who gets the
cards. If it says that one card over rules the other, then
who ever played the higher card gets both of the cards
flipped. Then, whoever earned the cards gets to choose
the next card to flip.
5. Once all three cards are flipped, you will then add up
the score on the scratch sheet given. The scores are at
the bottom of each card that you won.
6. Once this process is over, you will grab three more
cards from your deck so you have six again. Do steps 2-6
until there is no more cards to play.

7. If there is a tie (they dont defeat each other) then each

player will take their own card and get the points.
Winning the Game
When a player runs out of cards to play, the game is
over and player with the most points wins.
