 Setup

• Print all 2 pages attached (Map, Cards, Characters) 
• 1 Dice
• 4 players (3 Elfs and 1Taoist priest)+1 Gamekeeper

Turn Structure

1. Players draw cards to determine their characters.
2. Set up characters：Every elf player distributes their own Skill Points. Then fill the Character Cards.
3. Roll the dice to determine the order of round(from big value to small value).
4. Elf: Roll the dice to determine the Spawn point. (There’re 3 Spawn points set on the map: (Dice value A:1-2, B:3-4, C:5-6 )

Taoist priest: Fixed Point on the map

1. There are 5 elixirs on the map(3 real elixirs & 2 fake elixirs). The Taoist priest decides the positions of the 3 real elixirs. 
2. First-round starts. All players roll the dice to determine the success or failure of their actions by order of round.

 Rules

 Every elf has 10 skill points to distribute; 

When skill rolling, Success: the number ≤ the base skill point; Fail: the number > the base skill point.

Every player statistic is intended to be compatible with the notion that there is a probability of success for skills. For example, an elf may have 5 in Elixir Stealing Skill, thus rolling a number under/equal to 5 would yield success.

1. The elf

Elf basic skills：Walk，Elixir Stealing，Healing.

1. Walk：Walk Skill rolling check. Moving one step forward if success; Round ends if fails.
2. Elixir Stealing：Elixir Stealing Skill rolling check. Collect one elixir if success; Round ends if fails. Elixir Stealing Skill can be selected and skill rolled when the player is in the same grid as the elixir. The Player gets the elixir if success; Round ends if fails.
3. Healing：Saving teammates from Frozen Status. Healing Skill can be selected and skill rolled when the player is in the same grid as the target player. The Player gets healed if successful; the Round ends if it fails.
