Rules of The Horde

Each player gets four setup turns.
The Horde gets a turn between each player thereafter.
The Horde will always get four turns per round, regardless of the number of players alive.
At the beginning of the Horde’s precombat main phase, reveal the top X cards of the Horde’s library, determined by the number of turns taken. Then the Horde casts those cards:

‣ Turns 1-2: one card.

‣ Turns 3-4: two cards.

‣ Turns 5-6: three cards.

‣ Turns 7+: four cards.

Zombies attack each turn, if able.
The Horde always attacks the player with the lowest life total. If two or more players are tied, this is decided at random.
Points will be awarded in the order of elimination, with anyone surviving the Horde getting first-place points. If no one survives, no one is awarded placement points.
