Round Order

Ashes is played over a series of rounds. Each round is divided into three phases
that must be resolved in order. Most of the game takes place during the player
turns phase.
1. PREPARE PHASE
During the prepare phase each player simultaneously resolves the following three
steps in order:
1. PREPARE 2. PLAYER TURNS 3. RECOVERY
1. Roll Dice: Roll all of the dice in your
exhausted pool and place them to
the left of your dice power reference
cards. This is your active dice pool.
On the first round of the game,
the player who rolls the most basic
symbols chooses who should
go first (the First Player), taking the
first player token or giving it to their
opponent. If there is a tie for most, all
players must re-roll all of their dice
until there is no tie.
2. Discard Cards: You may discard any
number of cards from your hand.
3. Draw Cards: Draw cards until you
have 5 cards in your hand.
a. Fatigue Damage: Starting with
the First Player, players alternate
placing 1 wound token on their
Phoenixborn until all players
have placed wounds equal to the
number of cards they should have
drawn but could not.
