Province



Province cards are not part of any deck and each is associated with a Ring. They only have a strength value and don't have any traits (except Before the Throne).

Each player has exactly five provinces; one from each ring. The stronghold is placed in one province of the players choice, while the other four provinces contain each one card from the dynasty deck.

In a conflict the attacked province can be broken, if the attacker has equal or higher skill than the defender's skill plus the province strength.

Broken provinces can no longer be attacked and face-up cards in them are automatically discarded in the Regroup Phase. Abilities on broken provinces can no longer be used.

A province with a fivefold tomoe symbol in place of a single element, counts as a province of all five elements at all times and can be selected during deck construction to fulfill the province slot of any element.
