Runes and Regulations - Terms

From Unstable Games Wiki

Here is a list of defined terms you will see in the game:



DRAW: Pull a card from the top of the Main deck and add it to your hand.

DISCARD: Move a card from your hand to the Main discard pile.

SPIN: Spin the Spinner and apply the specified result.

CAST: Use a Spell from your hand, then move it to the Main discard pile.

SUMMON: Bring a Creature onto your Lawn from your hand (One again you can technically SUMMON a Creature onto a neighbor's Lawn, but why?)

ACTIVATE: Use a Rune's effect when its stated trigger occurs, then move it to the Rune discard pile.

HEX: Place a Shrub token on a Mythical Creature. That Creature is now considered a Hexed Creature. A Hexed Creature is a shrub with no effect and is not considered a Mythical Creature.

RESTORE: Remove a Shrub token from a Hexed Creature. That Creature's effect is restored and it is once again considered a Mythical Creature. When your Creature is restored, it re-entered your Lawn. IF your Creature has an effect that is triggered upon entering your Lawn, you can use that effect when your Creature is restored.

DESTROY: When destroying a Creature, move a Creature from a player's Lawn to the Main discard pile. When destroying a Rune, move a Rune from a player's Fence to the Rune discard pile. If you are destroying a Rune, you may not look at a neighbor's Runes before you DESTROY one.

STEAL: When stealing a Creature, move a Creature from any neighbor's Lawn onto your Lawn. When stealing a Rune, move a Rune from any neighbor's Fence to your Fence. If you are stealing a Rune, you may not look at a neighbor's Runes before you STEAL one.

RETURN: Move a Creature card from your Lawn to your hand.
