Hark, people, brave and small!

You're hereby invited to the His Majesty's grand Combo Party! Recruit characters to your personal tableau, making sure to take note of the unique abilities and scoring conditions each one offers.

Players will take turns buying cards from either the Village or Castle (depending on where the Messenger pawn is) and placing them in their personal tableau, making sure to follow these placement rules:

- Each card after the first must be orthogonally placed to at least one other card in your tableau
- At the end of the game your tableau must be a 3x3 grid of cards

Afterwards, trigger the card's ability. The game ends once all players have built their 9-card tableaus. Score points based on each card's end-game scoring conditions and the player with the most points wins!
