Index -> Playing the Game -> Setting Up a Game

As soon as you enter the game, several things happen automatically.

1. The first player is determined randomly.
2. Each player's avatar is played.
3. Each player's level 2 quest is played.
4. Each player's deck is shuffled.
5. A hand of six cards is drawn for each player.

Redraw Your Hand

Starting with the first player, each player gets the opportunity to redraw his or her opening hand. There's a penalty, however, your avatar is dealt 1 damage. Each player can redraw his or her hand only once per game, and only at the start of the game.

When both players have settled on their opening hands, the first player's turn begins.
