ValkiriaThis is your crystallization area, that is, your board. The first thing you need to do is to choose three of the six available portals. Those will be the portals you can open in the first place.3vmg_myportalactiverow000vmg_myportalstock 5
ValkiriaNow, let's go below in order to see our opponent's board.4vmg_myportaldonestock001vmg_myportalstock 10
ValkiriaThis is your opponent's crystallization area. Here, you can see the portals they are trying to open.6vmg_playerportalactiverow_38586581000vmg_playerportalstock_38586581 5
ValkiriaBack to the top again!
This is the portal pool. When you open a portal, you have to choose another one from here. You cannot select a portal you already have, either in your crystallization area or already opened.8vmg_portalstockrow000vmg_portalstock 5
ValkiriaThere are four kinds (colours) of portals: 9archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
Valkiria- Green (hourglass): they give points depending on properties of other portals you have (portal colour or animus)10vmg_ttbar_7_0000vmg_ttbar_7_0 1 vmg_myportalstock_item_7 4
Valkiria- Yellow (lightning): They give you additional crystals, portals or allow you to fill additional animus spots.11vmg_ttbar_29_0000vmg_ttbar_29_0 1 vmg_myportalstock_item_29 4
Valkiria- Purple (crown): They just give you points.12vmg_ttbar_62_0000vmg_ttbar_62_0 1 vmg_portalstock_item_62 4
Valkiria- Blue (infinity): They allow you to use a particular kind of animus as wild tokens.13vmg_ttbar_73_0000vmg_ttbar_73_0 1 vmg_portalstock_item_73 4
ValkiriaNow, choose these portals: the first one, the third one and the last one.14vmg_myportalstock_item_5010vmg_myportalstock_item_5 16 vmg_myportalstock_item_29 16 vmg_myportalstock_item_67 16
ValkiriaThose are the different kind of animus tokens that can be taken out from the token pool, with their respective quantities. When somebody draws a token (randomly), everybody can use a crystal to fill a portal spot of the same kind. When a [blue]Wild[/blue] token is drawn, all tokens are returned to the bag and the next person starts drawing [blue]next turn[/blue]. 1vmg_tokenhelpimage617b5ce0b203100vmg_tokenhelpimage 7
Valkiria!!! Notice that the person who draws tokens is the [green]first[/green] one to draw a new portal (or more, if it is the case) in case of simultaneous incantatum (that is, two or more people open a portal at the same time).2vmg_portalstock617b5ce0b203100

ValkiriaNow, a Fire token has been drawn. Since you don't have anything which can be filled with fire, your turn is skipped.1vmg_tokenarea_item_21617b5d812f63d00
