Index -> Playing the Game

This section explains all the rules of the game, plus the in-game interface. The main focus is on a normal 2-player, 1-versus-1 game. Rules for Multiplayer team games and raids are covered in separate sections. You'll find it easier to learn the basics by playing the tutorials. You can access them from the Lobby by clicking on the Tutorials/Scenarios button.
