ABOUT THE GAME
Cry Havoc is a card-driven, asymmetric, area control war game set in a brutal, science fiction setting.
Each player commands one of four unique factions with varying abilities and units and fights viciously to gather the most Crystals on the planet, which will more than offset the costs of the conflict.
To do this, players must customize their decks of cards, Build powerful Structures, and leverage their unique Skills to gain victory. The game includes 54 custom miniatures, a large format board, and over one hundred unique cards, all with stunning new artwork.
Goal Of The Game
The game is won by the player with the most Victory Points at the end of the game. The primary way to score Victory Points is by controlling Regions with Crystals during Rounds in which Scoring is enabled.
Constant Warfare
Victory Points are also scored for controlling territories, capturing Prisoners, killing enemy Units and using certain Tactics or Skills.

HOW TO PLAY
Cry Havoc is played in 5 or fewer Rounds, with each Round being divided into 6 Phases which are completed in order.
Events
The Events Phase consists of 3 steps: resolving events, updating initiative, and refreshing exhausted skills.
Draw Cards
Every player draws four cards from their personal Tactics deck. Then, any players with more than seven cards in their hand must place cards in their discard pile until they have seven in their hand.
Actions
This is the primary phase of every Round. Beginning with the first player on the Initiative track, players take one action after another, until every player has taken a total of three Actions.
Battle Resolution
A Battle takes place for each Region with a Battle token. During the Battle you will place battling units on battle objectives, play tactics cards, resolve battle objectives, place the surviving units back to the region or retreat them, if you lost.
Prisoners
First, players Score 1VP for every Prisoner they have. Then, in Initiative order, each player may lose 2 Victory Points per Prisoner they want to return to their Reserve that is currently being held by another player.
Scoring
If Scoring was Enabled, the player who Enabled Scoring scores 1VP for every Region they Control. Then, every player scores 1 VP for every Crystal located in all of the Regions under their Control. That marks the end of the round.
