In Soldiers of Fortune, players compete to build the largest Army. On your turn, make Platoons with cards from your hand or attempt to steal Platoons from your opponents. Once per turn you may play powerful Tactic cards to swing the game in your favor. Well-timed Tactics can give you a strategic advantage, but be careful! Some Tactic cards are a dangerous game of risk vs. reward.
A Platoon consists of a pair of two matching Troops OR a Wild card paired with any other Troop card. You may make a Platoon using two cards from your hand or by using one card from your hand and a matching card from the top of the discard pile.
You may attempt to steal an opponent's top Platoon by playing a matching Troop from your hand or from the top of the discard pile. Platoons will grow over time as players attack and defend. The bigger the Platoon, the more tempting the target!
Tactic cards have the power to completely change the game by giving you the ability to draw extra cards, take additional actions, steal from opponents, search discard piles, trade hands, block opponents, steal Platoons, rearrange Troops, and more. Play Tactics wisely to build the largest Army and outmaneuver your opponents!
Playing a Turn:
On your turn you Must perform one Action and you May play one Tactic. It does not matter if your Action or Tactic comes first.

* Attack an Opponent
Play a card that matches an Opponent’s top platoon in an attempt to steal the platoon away from them.
* Discard and Draw cards.
Discard one or two cards from your hand. Draw the same number of cards that you just discarded.
Ending the Game:
When the draw decks are depleted, play continues until everyone has played all of the remaining cards in their hand. As always, you MUST perform an Action. If you are unable to do anything else, you must perform the Discard Action.
Scoring:
Your Army’s power is determined by adding up the numbers in the top left of each of your cards. The player with the most powerful Army (highest total points) wins.
