Each player starts with an equal amount of Life Tokens and all Level Cards and [[? Block]] Cards are shuffled and put into respective decks facing downwards. When a round starts, each player takes the top card from the Level Card deck. If your card has the smallest number, you can trade it with the player to your right side (if playing with 2 players you can trade it to the other player). If your Level Card is a Castle Card, you are immune from trades or attacks from other players and you can take a card from the ? Block Card deck and keep it until needed. If your card has the lowest number by the end of the round, you lose a Life Token. If you lose all of your Life Tokens, you're out. The last person to still have Life Tokens wins.
