To Begin the Game:

. Put all 6 Casting StonesTMinside the package box.

. Beginning with the youngest player, players take turns drawing one stoneat a time from the box without looking.

. Each player will keep picking stones until they have one of one color andtwo of the other. If player picks a third stone of a color he already has, hepicks again and gives the matching stone to his opponent.

. Each player selects one stone of the duplicate color for the cast off andtosses it into the center of the playing area:

If both players cast numbers, highest number wins, equal numbers tie.

If one player casts a picture and the other a number, the picture wins.

If both players cast pictures, it is a tie and both players cast again.

Note: Any stone that lands on its edge when cast is a "leaner" and maybe knocked over by the player who threw it so that the side they preferis face up.

. Player with the losing stone must set it to the side. It may not be used inthe round.

. Players place their stone as instructed into playset for first round of battle(see spell casting instructions below).
