1977 ボードゲーム「エルリック／Elric」15

DESIGNERS' NOTES
This game is based on a series of short stories and novels written by Michael Moorcock. It is not necessary for the players to be familiar with the books to enjoy this game. The game is a complete entity unto itself, new players may even find themselves at an advantage with their lack of bias towards the characters presented here.
This game does not pretend to be a complete synthesis of the Elric saga, though this process was integral to its develop - ment. The game merges the power of Elric's world with game playability to bring the players the inner vitality and intense feeling of the mythos. We have attempted to capture some of the power of the stories and present it in a playable form to share the magic of Elric.
When playing Elric, it is important to remember that you are taking the part of the Lords of Fate, not the mundane leaders and nations of the world. During the course of play, each player will probably gain and lose control of several nations. He may even lose control of the nation(s) that he started the game with. However, in ELRIC, as long as you control at least one personality you continue playing. It is very possible for a player to rocket back from the brink of defeat to become the final victor.

1977 ボードゲーム「エルリック／Elric」12

12) THE COSMIC BALANCE

　The Cosmic Balance represents the relative equality, or lack of equality, between the influences of Law or Chaos.

At the beginning of the game, place the Law/Chaos marker in the Neutral spot at the center of the Balance.

12.1) SHIFTING THE BALANCE

　When aligned spells are used as Magic, they effect the Cosmic Balance.

Chaos spells move it towards Chaos.

Laws spells move it towards Law.

Neutral spells move it towards the Neutral center.

All effects of Law and Chaos spells are applied before applying the effect of Neutral spells.

The number of spaces that a spell will move the Balance is equal to the Combat Strength of the spell used.

12.2) SHIFT EFFECT

　In each of the sections comprising each arm of the Balance is a number from 1 to 6.

This number is added to the value of all spells of the dominant alignment.

If the marker rests in the Neutral spot, no additional value is added to any spell.

EXAMPLE - The Law/Chaos marker rests in the fourth box from neutral on the Chaos side.

Chaos is the dominant alignment.

All Chaos spells cast will add the factor listed in that box to their Combat Strength.

12.21)

　Strength added due to dominance will NOT affect the number of boxes that the Balance will shift.

Only the listed Combat Strength of a spell is used.

12.3) STORMBRINGER AND MOURNBLADE

　Whenever these swords slay someone, due to an Elric Nightmare or losing control of Elric, the Balance is shifted 1 towards Chaos.

Each time that these swords arc used in Combat, i.e. the personalities controlling them use their Combat Strength, the Balance is shifted 1 towards Chaos.

12.4) THE END OF THE WORLD

　If the Law/Chaos marker advances beyond the last box of the Cosmic Balance, in either direction, the following rules will apply:

12.41)

　Spells of the Dominant alignment remain on the board after being cast.

The spell may, at the player's option, remain in use as a "maintained spell."

Magicians with a maintained spell can cast no other magic.

The maintained spell is placed on top of the stack that contains the Magician and will move with him.

Other units in that stack are protected from the effect of the spell.

Only one spell, at a time, can be maintained by any one Magician.

12.411)

　Maintained spells will count towards the three spell per battle limit specified in 8.2.

Maintained spells will not take battle casualties nor will they protect the Magician from them.

12.412)

　Maintained spells may be used to aid a Magician's Heroic Escape.

If he succeeds, they remain with him.

If he fails, they remain in the province.

Dispel Magic spells will not affect maintained spells.

12.413)

　Dominant spells cast, that are not maintained, remain in the province in which they are cast.

They will attack any stack that enters that province beginning with the turn after they are cast.

Law spells, with Law dominant, will not attack stacks that contain Law Magic.

12.42)

　Neutral Magic may be maintained BUT it will not remain on the board after being used if it is not maintained.

12.43)

　If the Balance is tipped towards LAW, Random Attacks no longer occur.

12.44)

　Immediately after the Balance is tipped, the Law/Chaos Marker is placed three spaces ahead of the Turn Marker on the Turn Track.

If the Balance is tipped towards Law, place it with CHAOS inverted (such that the word LAW is readable at the bottom of the counter).

If it is tipped towards Chaos, place it with LAW inverted, and CHAOS readable.

　When the Turn Marker reaches the Law/Chaos marker, the world ends on the last player-turn of that game turn (unless the Balance is restored).

Refer to section 3 if the game ends in this manner.

12.5) RESTORATION OF THE BALANCE

　The Balance can be restored in two ways listed here.

　When the Balance is restored, discard the sacrificed spells, any maintained spells and any other spells that are face up.

Place the Law/Chaos marker on the Neutral space on the Cosmic Balance.

12.51)

　Players may sacrifice spells of the alignment OPPOSED to the Dominant alignment or Neutral spells.

The total Combat Strength of the spells sacrificed must equal 12, plus the value of any face-up spells of the Dominant alignment (including those that occupy provinces but are not maintained).

This sacrifice can be made from any province.

It may be made over a number of turns until the world ends.

Stack the sacrificed magic on the Law/Chaos marker on the Turn Track.

12.52)

　The Horn of Fate may reset the Balance.

It may only be used by Elric.

Check the Spell index for specifics.

12.6) RANDOM BALANCE MOVEMENT (OPTIONAL)

　Each player, at the end of their turn, draws a Magic spell.

The Balance is moved in the direction of the spell's alignment a number of spaces equal to its Combat Strength.

The spell is then discarded.

1977 ボードゲーム「エルリック／Elric」11

11) THE MELNIBONEANS

　Spell counters marked "Melnibonean only" may only be used by Melnibonean magicians.

All Melnibonean units are capable of moving at sea, without the use of fleets, at the cost specified for Magicians.

　Other than Elric, no Melnibonean will ever attack another Melnibonean.

They will not participate in any combat against an enemy stack that contains Melnibonean units.

If one force is eliminated, surviving Melnibonean units will join the victorious side.

　Elric may attack, and be attacked by, other Melnibonean units.

No Melnibonean, except Elric, will ever participate in an attack against Imrryr.

11.1) ELRIC

　Elric is the hero of Michael Moorcock's fantasy sagas.

He enters the game only by means of Random Appearance.

11.11) RANDOM APPEARANCE

　Elric will automatically make a Random Appearance at the beginning of the game.

Additionally, Elric must be removed from the board and will make another Random Appearance in two other situations:

• A) If Elric is not stacked with a player's personality at the beginning of a game-turn;
• B) Whenever Stormbringer takes control of Elric and slays the controlling personality

The active player must draw a spell to place Elric on the board.

He consults the musters on the spell and places Elric in the capital or main city of a nationality listed.

If no nation is listed among the musters, the spell isdiscarded and another is drawn.

If more than one muster is listed Elric is placed in one of those listed as the player desires.

11.12) CONTROLLING ELRIC

　The first player to stack a personality with Elric controls him.

If there are several personalities in the stack, the one with the greatest Combat Strength, or influence Value, will control him.

Control of Elric may only be transferred to personalities that have a Combat Strength, or Influence Value, greater than the current controller.

If two units have eaual Combat Strengths or Influence values, the Influence value takes precedence over the Combat Strength.

11.121)

　Elric MUST be placed at the top of any stack that he is part of.

The controlling personality is placed just below him.

11.122)

　Another player can take over control of Elric.

If he has a personality with greater influence, as specified in 11.12, he can do it.

During the Movement Phase of the active player, the personality with the greater influence is moved, alone, onto the stack containing Elric.

Accompanying units may not enter the province unless combat is initiated.

At the end of the Movement Phase, the personality takes control of Elric and both are moved to the nearest Neutral or Friendly province.

11.13) ELRIC AND MAGIC

　Elric may hold any set of spells, regardless of alignment.

His spells are kept stacked beneath him.

A spell may only be transferred out of his hand, to another personality, if he is offered a Melnibonean only spell by the personality controlling him.

The LOWEST value spell in his hand will be given in exchange.

11.131)

　Elric begins the game with his full spell capacity in spells, drawn when he is first controlled by a player.

11.132)

　Elric is one of the three magicians that can randomly draw a magic spell from the spell container rather than using a spell that he holds in his hand.

He may do this only during combat.

Elric always gains whatever benefit a spell may bring, unless it is an Elric Nightmare, regardless of the alignment of his other spells.

(If a Nightmare is drawn, it must take effect before the battle begins).

11.14) STORMBRINGER

　Whenever Elric's Combat Strength is used in a battle there is a chance that Stormbringer will take control of him.

At the end of any Combat Phase in which his Combat Strength was used, the controlling player rolls one die.

If the roll is a 5 or 6, Stormbringer is in control and slays the controlling personality.

Personalities slain in this way may not make Heroic Escapes.

When Stormbringer takes over in this way, shift the Balance 1 towards Chaos AND Elric will IMMEDIATELY make a random appearance, as specified in 11.1.

11.15) ELRIC NIGHTMARES

　When an Elric Nightmare is drawn, except in the beginning of the game, Stormbringer may take control of Elric.

Immediately on drawing this spell, the drawing player will roll.

If a 5 or 6 is rolled, Stormbringer takes control.

The result is as specified in 11.13.

11.151)

　Mournblade is also effected by Elric Nightmares.

If Stormbringer is affected, by the roll above, so is Mournblade.

If Mournblade takes control, the person using it is slain and it is removed from the board unitl it is re-mustered.

11.16) ELRIC AND MOONGLUM

　Moonglum was an excellent Eshmirian swordsman.

He was Elric's only true friend.

If the stacks containing Elric and Moonglum are ever in adjacent provinces, Moonglum will leave his stack and join Elric.

Once they are together, they remain together for the entire game.

Both will make Random Appearances together.

11.161)

　Moonglum will NEVER be the personality that controls Elric.

He is never the victim of an Elric Nightmare.

While they are stacked together, the player that controls Elric can use all values for both counters as he sees fit.

11.2) YYRKOON

　The cousin of Elric that sought both Elric's love, Cymoril, and his throne, the Ruby Throne of Imrryr.

Rules for his magic use are specified in 8.22.

He may be used as any other personality.

　Cymoril is Elric's cousin and his love, therefore wielding great influence over him.

She may be used as a normal personality when she is mustered.

1977 ボードゲーム「エルリック／Elric」10

10) MUSTER

　Any Magic Spell with an italicized name along its bottom edge can be used to muster the forces specified.

　Mustering allows players to take control of neutral nations, personalities and artifacts.

It will take place during the Muster Phase of each player's turn.

The forces that can be mustered are listed on the bottom of the spell counter.

If several are listed, the player must choose one.

Once a spell has been used to muster, it is discarded.

10.1) MUSTERING NATIONS

　The mustering player must have a personality in the capital of the nation that he wishes to muster.

The personality there must have the spell counter that will be used to muster that nation.

If both conditions are met, the nation is mustered.

The player receives all personalities, armies and fleets that belong to that nation.

Starting in their standard set-up position.

All magicians of that nationality will have random spells drawn for them up to the Magician's spell capacity.

10.11)

　If a player musters a nation, and other players already control cities in that nation, then all pieces that normally set-up in those cities are placed in the nation's capital.

If any city in the mustered nation is being besieged when it is mustered, no forces may be placed in it until the siege is lifted.

10.12)

　A player may muster another player's country if he controls the capital of that country AND has the muster for it in its capital.

Units held by the other player, that belong to the nation mustered away from him, are removed from his stacks immediately.

On the next turn they start in their home country, as for a normal muster, under the control of their new owner.

10.2) MUSTERING PERSONALITIES

　Certain spells will grant the ability to muster a specific personality.

Personalities mustered will always appear in the province in which the player musters them.

(They become part of the stack of the personality that is actually doing the mustering.)

10.3) MUSTERING HORDES

　Hordes are independent armies and personalities that must be mustered in specific locations.

Hordes may not receive placements and may never be mustered away by another player.

If a horde is totally eliminated, or if all of the Horde's personalities are eliminated, all remaining horde units are removed from the board.

Beginning on the next turn, they can again be mustered at full strength.

　The Hordes, and their mustering locations, are:

10.31) THE FLAME BRINGERS

　Mustered in the Weeping Wastes.

They must search for, and find, Mordaga's Castle before they can be used for anything else.

　Mustered in the wilderness of the Southern continent.

Before they can do anything else, they must search and find Kaneloon.

10.33) THE OLAB

10.4) THELEB K'AARNA

　This wizard of Pan Tang may be mustered independently.

If, later, Pan Tang is mustered by another player he will switch to the Pan Tang player's side.

10.5) MUSTERING THE BATTLE BARGE AND ALL ARTIFACTS

　All artifacts appear in the province from which they were mustered.

If the personality using the artifact is eliminated, and fails to escape, the artifact is removed from the board.

Artifacts removed in this way may be remustered.

　The Golden Melnibonean Battle Barge can be mustered only by a Melnibonean personality that is adjacent to Melnibone.

When it is mustered, it will appear with Admiral Magnum Colim.

10.6) RESTRICTIONS

　Nations and personalities already on the board may not be mustered, with the exception of Theleb K'aarna and occupied nations.

Spells used to muster have no effect on the Cosmic Balance.

No player may perform more than ONE muster per player-turn.

All musters occur in the Muster Phase ONLY.

1977 ボードゲーム「エルリック／Elric」9

9) COMBAT

　Combat is resolved as delineated in the following sections:

9.1) ELIGIBLE UNITS

　Whenever enemy stacks occupy the same province, except for Wilderness areas, they must fight.

The attacking player must have enough movement to move into the province that he is attacking.

All attacking units attack all defending units, even if attackers are from more than one province.

If more than one battle is planned for a turn, the attacker will decide the order in which they will be resolved.

9.11)

　Attacking units must have at least ONE personality leading them into a battle.

If units do not have a leader, they may not attack or move into an enemy occupied area.

They will still defend and retreat normally.

9.2) WITHHOLDING UNITS

　Both the attacker and the defender may, at their option, withhold units from combat.

Units withheld WILL suffer adverse effects necessary if their side loses.

The defending player may withhold any or all units AND he may retreat his units one province before combat begins, yielding the province to the attacker.

If all defending units are withheld, the defender MUST retreat.

The retreat may not be made into areas that the attacker passed through, on his way to the battle, during his Movement Phase.

9.21)

　The Attacker may also withhold units.

Withheld attacking units may not retreat before combat.

He must commit at least one unit to the battle.

9.22)

　Units may also be withheld in sea battles following the rules above.

9.3) COMBAT MAGIC DECLARATION

　Spells cast during the Magic Phase, i.e. placed face down next to the casting magician, are now revealed to all.

9.4) COMBAT TOTALS

　Both the attacker and the defender total the Combat Strengths for armies and personalities involved with their side.

Next, add the Combat Strength of any spells used to the caster's side.

Eater spells will take effect BEFORE any other magic.

Magic spells cast by a magician that is eliminated by an Eater spell will still function normally.

9.5) COMBAT RESOLUTION

　Each player rolls the die and adds his Combat Strength Total.

The lower total is then subtracted from the higher.

The number yielded is the result inflicted on the player with the LOWER total in the combat.

The player with the GREATER total always wins AND suffers no losses.

9.51.) SHIFTING THE BALANCE

　After the battle is resolved, shift the Balance according to the rules in 12.2.

This occurs before any other battles are resolved.

9.6) THE COMBAT RESOLUTION TABLE

COMBAT STRENGTH DIFFERENCE　→　COMBAT RESULT

• 25 and Up　→　DE
• 20 to 24　→　Retreat, DL 15
• 15 to 19　→　Retreat, DL 10
• 10 to 14　→　Retreat, DL 5
• 5 to 9　→　Retreat, DL 3
• 4　→　Retreat, DL 2
• 3　→　Retreat, DL 1
• 1 and 2　→　Retreat, NL
• 0　→　Reroll

9.7) CRT EXPLANATIONS

• DE = All defending units are eliminated.
• DL # The number of defending strength points specified are eliminated.
• NL = No losses are suffered by the defender.
• RETREAT = The losing stack must be retreated one province away from the victorious stack.
  No retreat is allowed into Mountain, Sea or enemy controlled provinces.
  Units forced to retreat out of a port may take ships, if available, or retreat by land.
  Retreat into wilderness provokes an immediate Random Attack.
  If a stack is unable to retreat it is eliminated.
  Units within a Walled City or Capital are never forced to retreat.
  They may choose to do so IF retreat is part of the result determined.
  Fleets may retreat into ports if the opportunity exists.

9.71)

　All losses are removed by the owning player as he sees fit.

Personalities removed may attempt Heroic Escapes.

9.72)

　On land, losses are taken in armies and personalities.

At sea, they are taken in fleets or personalities.

Armies will have no value while loaded on board a fleet.

9.8) HEROIC ESCAPE

　Any personality that suffers an elimination result, for ANY reason, has a chance of escaping his fate.

At the end of the combat in which elimination occurred, a die is rolled.

If the roll is LESS THAN or EQUAL TO the personalities Combat Strength, a Heroic Escape has been made by the personality.

If the roll is higher, the personality is removed from play.

9.81)

　Magicians may use magic, if available, to help in their Heroic Escapes.

In this case, the Combat Strength of the magic is used instead of the magician's own Combat Strength.

Magic used in this way must be cast BEFORE the roll is taken.

9.82)

　Personalities with a parenthesized Combat Strength escape if the strongest personality, using Combat Strength, stacked with them makes his or her Heroic Escape.

If they are the only personality present, they are eliminated.

If the other personality is not required to make an escape by the loss inflicted, they automatically escape.

This rule does not apply for Elric. See 11.1.

9.83) REAPPEARANCE

　When a Heroic Escape is made the personality will appear in the nearest undisputed or friendly province.

(In case of ties, the controlling player will decide where reappearance occurs).

Escapes that occur at sea will place the personality on the nearest land not occupied by enemy units (In case of ties, the controlling player will decide which province).

9.84)

　Fleets that sail into the Boiling Sea also use the Heroic Escape procedure to determine whether they survive entering the sea.

9.9) SPECIAL CASES

9.91) GARRISONS

　Players who control enemy cities must garrison them with at least one army per province containing them.

If this garrison is not maintained, control of the province will revert to the original owner.

He may use it to create replacements.

9.9.11)

　Garrisoned cities provide no replacements to the owner.

9.912)

　The walls of walled cities and capitals are used by the controlling player in combat.

9.913)

　Capturing and garrisoning the capital of a neutral will prevent its muster by another player.

9.92) OVERRUNS

　To conduct an overrun the moving player must enter an enemy controlled province.

He must then allocate a portion of his force, including at least one personality, to divert the controlling force and protect his continuing route of march.

The Combat Strength total of the diverting army must be at least DOUBLE that of the defending force.

If these conditions are met, the remainder of his force may move on if he has sufficient movement points to do so.

9.921)

　The attacker can overrun as many provinces as he has armies, personalities and movement points to do so.

The requirements in 9.92 must be met in all cases.

9.93) COMBAT IN NEUTRAL NATIONS

　When the armies of two enemy players meet in a neutral nation, neither side may use that nation's cities, armies, fleets or personalities.

If a player attacks a neutral city or capital, the city will muster to defend itself.

Its defense value is printed on the board next to it.

The player to the attacker's right will roll for the defending neutrals.

9.931)

　An enemy city that reverts to neutrality, through the loss of all personalities or some other reason, in the midst of a battle does not immediately regain its full strength.

As long as the attacker maintains his attack on the city, it will only defend with armies, personalities and walls that are currently in the city.

As soon as the attack or siege ends, the city regains its full strength.

(At least one game-turn must pass in which the city is not attacked by any player for strength to he regained).

9.94) SIEGE AND CONTROL OF WALLED CITIES

　Defenders in a Walled City or Capital are never required to retreat due to combat.

If the attacker decides to continue his attack on his next turn, after a retreat result occurs, the city is Besieged.

9.941)

　Besieged cities may draw replacements and personalities, if a personality exists in the city in the proper muster.

Armies of that nation, and personalities, that are already on the board may not enter the city without defeating the Besieging army first.

To lift the siege and enter, they must force the besieging army to retreat.

9.942)

　To denote a siege, place the attacking force on top of the city and its defenders.

The defender may counter-attack on his turn.

If he does, he receives no advantage for the city walls in his attack.

9.943)

　If a player is besieging Imrryr, and he loses control of Elric, he may continue the siege until Imrryr falls, or he is forced to retreat.

If he is forced to retreat without taking the city, he must regain control of Elric in order to try again.

9.95) COMBAT AT SEA

　Naval battles follow the rules specified for Land combat.

Only the combat strength of fleets and personalities, plus any spells used, will apply.

Armies are valueless in a sea battle.

9.96) COMBATIN PORTS

　Fleets that are attacked while in a sea that is adjacent to a friendly port may retreat into that port as a result of combat.

9.961)

　If a port is attacked from the land, fleets present can add their combat value to the total of the defending forces AND may be chosen as casualties.

They may also retreat out to sea, with what armies they can carry, if retreat is called for, unless enemy vessels occupy that sea.

9.962)

　Fleets in a port are protected by the city walls.

All fleets that are in the port when it falls into enemy hands are destroyed.

No unit is ever required to retreat from within a city.

1977 ボードゲーム「エルリック／Elric」8

8) MAGIC

　Magic Spells held by personalities are kept beneath that personality's counter until used.

They may not be examined by other players.

After a spell is used, it is discarded.

When all of the Magic spells in the container have been used, and a reshuffle spell has not been drawn, all discarded spells are placed back into play and shuffled thoroughly.

8.1) ACQUIRING SPELLS

　When mustered, a Magician will draw a number of spells equal to his Spell Capacity.

Magic may be transferred from one personality to another if the personalities are BOTH located in the same stack during the Magic Phase. (See 11.13).

8.11)

　Certain wilderness areas begin the game with magic spells.

These spells become the property of the first personality to find them through SEARCH.

8.12)

　Occupation of a neutral or enemy capital allows the occupying player to draw a spell.

8.2) SPELL USE

　Spells are played in the Magic Phase of each player-turn.

Spells are cast by laying them face down next to the stack that contains the casting personality.

No more than THREE spells may be used by any ONE player in any given battle.

There must be one magician present for each spell that is cast.

When using magic, a magician may not add his Combat Strength into the total for his stack.

A magician may not cast more than one spell per game-turn, except when using magic to aid in Heroic Excapes.

8.21)

　Magic spells with a parenthesized Combat Strength are not added into a stack's Combat total.

The parenthesized value is the effect that casting the spell will have on the Cosmic Balance.

8.22)

　The three personalities with an Exclamation Point next to their Spell Capacity have the unique ability to conjure magic when defending or attacking.

When one of these personalities [Elric, Yyrkoon or Theleb K'aarna] are involved in combat the owning player has the option of drawing a spell instead of using a spell that they hold.

The spell drawn MUST be used in the combat for which it is drawn.

8.221)

　If Theleb K'aarna or Yyrkoon draw a spell whose alignment conflicts with those that they hold, the spell drawn will attack them.

Add its Combat Strength to the enemies Combat total.

8.222)

　Elric may draw spells with impunity.

If the spell drawn is not applicable, it is discarded.

No other spells are drawn and he will cast no other.

If the spell drawn is an Elric Nightmare it effects him immediately.

8.3) SPELL TYPES

　There are seven types of spells: Play Immediately, Special, Melnibonean Only, Elric Only, Law, Chaos, and Neutral.

Spells restricted to a special personality or race can be used by other personalities for muster purposes only.

8.31) PLAY IMMEDIATELY SPELLS

　These spells are not held.

Elric Nightmares effect BOTH Stormbringer and Mournblade when they are drawn or discovered.

All other spells of this kind will affect the personality that discovers them.

8.311)

　If a spell of this kind is selected by a Magician to start the game, another spell is drawn and the Play Immediately spell is returned to the spell container.

8.32) SPECIAL SPELLS

　These spells may be used by any magician.

8.33) MELNIBONEAN ONLY SPELLS

　These spells may only be used by a Melnibonean personality.

In addition, only a Melnibonean can use Mournblade.

If a non-Melnibonean draws a spell of this kind, he may hold it until he meets a Melnibonean that can use it.

If he wishes, he may discard it at any time.

(He may not draw another spell when he does so).

8.34) ELRIC ONLY SPELLS

　The Horn of Fate can only be used by Elric.

8.35) LAW, CHAOS and NEUTRAL SPELLS

　These spells are aligned with the various forces of the world.

No magician may hold BOTH Law and Chaos spells at the same time.

If a spell drawn conflicts with one already possessed, one or the other must be discarded.

The discarded spell is not replaced.

ALL magicians that are in the same stack MUST have spells of the same, or Neutral, alignment.

8.4) EFFECT ON THE BALANCE

　When aligned spells are cast they affect the Cosmic Balance.

Each point of a spell's Combat Strength will tip the Balance towards that spell's alignment.

Neutral spells move the Balance towards its neutral center.

When spells of many alignments are used in the same battle, the effect of the Law and Chaos spells is determined before applying the effect of any Neutral spells.

8.5) LIMITATIONS

　Magicians may never hold more spells than they have Spell Capacity for.

Non-magicians may each hold one spell, for muster purposes only.

　Stacks owned by a single player that possess spells of opposing alignment may not occupy the same province or land area.

If, mistakenly, they do they must attack each other.

Spells held for Muster purposes only aren't included in this restriction.

8.6) USED SPELLS

　When a spell has been used, either in combat or because it conflicts with other spells held, it is discarded.

A discard pile is formed separate from the spells that are yet to be used.

1977 ボードゲーム「エルリック／Elric」7

7) SEARCH

　Units that end their movement in a Wilderness area, and survive the resultant Random Attack, can:

　A) Try to find unfound Magic spells.
　B) Try to find friendly stacks.
　C) Try to find enemy stacks.

7.1)

　The searching player must announce the purpose of his search before he rolls.

Only one search per province per player per game-turn is allowed.

A friendly personality must be with the stack for the stack to conduct a search.

7.2)

　On the first turn of a Search, the search succeeds on a roll of 5 or 6.

On each consecutive turn, following failures, a roll of 4-6 will indicate success.

7.21)

　Friendly stacks and Magic spells found as a result of a search are placed beneath the stack that found them.

Enemy units found must be fought during the finding player's Combat Phase.

7.3)

　The chance of success in finding an item will increase ONLY if the item that you search for on the later turn is the same item that you failed to find previously.

EXAMPLE - If you search for magic on the first turn, the chance increases in the second turn ONLY if you again search for magic.

1977 ボードゲーム「エルリック／Elric」6

6) MOVEMENT

　All movement, except retreats required due to Combat, is voluntary.

Only armies, personalities and fleets may be moved.

Spells must be in the possession of a personality in order to be moved.

When moving, units may only move into adjacent areas, unless they are flying (6.4).

Per land or sea area moved, a cost of ONE Movement Point is paid.

6.1) STACKING

　An unlimited number of personalities may occupy the same area.

(For sea areas, they must be with a fleet).

An unlimited number of armies may occupy a Land area.

The number that may be carried at sea is determined by the carrying capacity of the Fleets that they are with.

If the limit is exceeded, all fleets and armies are lost and all personalities are required to make a Heroic Escape or be eliminated.

6.2) LAND MOVEMENT

　Personalities, and any armies that they are leading, have FOUR Movement Points per turn, i.e. they may move up to four provinces per turn [subject to the Terrain restrictions in 6.5].

6.21)

　Armies may only be moved if they are stacked with a friendly leader or if they are in their own nation.

When they have a leader, they will have the movement rate specified in 6.2.

When they are moving without a leader, in their own nation, they will have ONE Movement Point per turn.

They may not leave their nation without a leader.

6.22)

　When a stack is moved, it may pick up or drop off personalities or other units as desired.

Units dropped off may continue moving in other directions with any Movement Points that remain to them.

If the units dropped are leaderless armies, they may not move.

6.3) SEA MOVEMENT

　All personalities and armies, except for Magicians and Flying units, must be on fleets to move at sea.

Magicians may move without fleets at a cost of 2 MP per sea area.

Armies that voluntarily or involuntarily enter a sea without a fleet are eliminated.

Personalities who do so must attempt Heroic Escape.

6.31)

　The Movement Rate listed on the fleet counter is the number of sea areas that it may travel regardless of what it is carrying.

If any armies or personalities aboard moved on land prior to boarding the fleet, on the turn that they first move at sea, the number of areas that they moved is subtracted from the Movement Rate of the fleets.

If the land units move on iand after using sea movement, in the same turn, subtract the number of sea areas moved from the land movement rate of those units.

The Movement Point cost for units to board a fleet, while in a port, is 1 MP for personalities and armies.

This cost is included in any amount that is subtracted from the fleet's Movement Rate.

Units may also embark from any province that is adjacent to the sea.

The cost to do this is FOUR Movement Points.

6.32)

　Each fleet in a stack must have at least ONE personality in order to move.

The personality in command need not be ot the same nationality as the fleet but he must be allied to the side that the player controls.

6.321)

　Fleets that do not have a personality aboard them may only move TOWARDS their home port.

They will take the safest, and then the shortest, route, moving at their normal movement rate.

While uncontrolled, they may not carry any units that are not already aboard.

Once in a Home port, they may not move out unless a personality boards and orders them to do so.

6.33)

　During the Movement Phase, no unit may enter a land or sea area that contains enemy units unless he is initiating combat with that force.

6.331) EXCEPTION

　Wilderness Sea areas may be occupied by any number of ships from any side.

A stack entering one of these areas must successfully search for the enemy (Section 7) if it wishes to initiate combat.

6.4) FLYING

　Certain personalities, and spells, have the power of flight.

6.41) FLYING UNITS

　The Winged Men of Myrrhyn and the Clackars are flying units.

They may move up to FOUR provinces or seas.

Flying units ARE subject to the terrain restrictions listed for the Boiling Sea and Mountains.

They may move freely over any other terrain or NON-FLYING enemy units.

They must always end their move in a land area, or on a friendly fleet that has the carrying capacity to take them aboard.

6.42) MAGICAL FLIGHT

　Certain spells allow one or more personalities to fly.

These spells remain with the personality that is using them for TWO FLIGHTS or THREE turns, whichever is less.

When magic is used to fly, the personality may be moved to any province on the board.

Armies may only be transported in this way when the Ship of Land and Sea is used.

Fleets may never be flown.

6.5) SPECIAL TERRAIN

　The following terrains have special notes which will affect movement.

6.51) THE BOILING SEA

　The waters of this sea boil and froth.

All ships, magicians walking on the seas, and flying units must use the Heroic Escape procedure to determine whether they survive or not.

Only the Jeweled Bird and any personalities that it carries do not need to roll for a Heroic Escape.

This roll must be taken entering, leaving, or remaining within this sea and only one roll must be made by one stack in any one player-turn.

Any flying unit or walking magician that fails the roll is eliminated.

Any ship that fails to escape sinks.

Any personality aboard a fleet that sinks must make a Heroic Escape to survive.

All armies aboard sinking fleets are eliminated.

6.52) CAPITALS

　Capitals exist only in civilized nations and are identified by a black star.

They have no effect on Movement.

All capitals are WALLED CITIES.

They will have a defense value of FIVE.

This value must be totally overcome in a single battle before enemy units can occupy the capital.

They will always remain at full strength, regardless of combat losses.

(If the value is exceeded they are bypassed or climbed, in effect).

6.522)

　Capture of an enemy capital allows the conqueror to muster that nation AND yields a Magic spell drawn randomly.

Capture of a Neutral capital will only grant the spell.

It gives no mustering ability.

6.53) MOUNTAINS

　Mountains are impassable for all units.

6.54) THE SERPENT'S TEETH

　As for the Roiling Sea.

6.55) STRAITS OF CHAOS

　Treat this as a Wilderness area.

Any stack that passes through the straits must undergo Random Attack before completing its movement.

6.56) UNWALLED CITIES

　These cities, noted by a black dot, have no effect on movement and provide no protection in combat.

6.57) WALLED CITIES

　Black dots surrounded by a full or partial circle.

The cities of all civilized nations, except Nadsokor, are walled.

They have no effect on movement.

6.571)

　Walled Cities have a defense value of THREE.

The number of cities in the province has no effect on the defense value.

Only one city in any one province adds its value to the defender.

An attacker can only occupy a city if he exceeds its defense value after eliminating all defenders.

(As forcapitals, the defense value of these walls is perennial.

It cannot be destroyed).

EXAMPLE - If a walled city is defended by 6 armies, the attacker must inflict 9 casualties when he attacks to take the city.

6.572)

　Per attack launched against a walled city, or capital, that fails to exceed the wall's value, 1⁄2 of the defending force, rounded up, is eliminated.

Which units are killed is at the option of the defender.

EXAMPLE - In the case above, 6.571 example, the attacker kills 5.

This does not exceed the defensive value of the Walled City, 3+6 (for the troops).

As a result, the city holds and three of the six defenders are eliminated.

6.573)

　All friendly units in a province that contains a walled city or capital are considered to be protected by its walls.

6.58) WILDERNESS

　Stacks that contain armies must draw one Random Attack for EACH Wilderness Province that it moves through OR ends its movement in.

Personalities, unaccompanied by armies, only draw if they end their movement in a Wilderness area.

ANY stack that is forced to retreat into a Wilderness area will suffer an IMMEDIATE Random Attack.

6.59) PORTS

　Anchor symbols on the board are ports.

Fleets may only move into a port from the adjacent sea area that contains an anchor symbol, except as exceptions explain differently.

6.591)

　Due to its massive five portalled seawall, and its other defenses, only units stacked with Elric can enter Imrryr.

Once Imrryr falls, i.e.comes under the control of any player, any Melnibonean personality can guide a stack into the city.

6.6 RANDOM ATTACKS

　Random Attacks can be drawn as specified in 6.55 and 6.58.

When a Random Attack occurs ONE spell is drawn for each Random Attack possible and shown to all players.

The result of the spell drawn is determined as follows:

6.61)

　CHAOS spells attack the stack immediately.

6.62)

　LAW spells attack if the stack contains Chaotic Magic, including spells held by non-magicians for mustering purposes.

6.631)

　NEUTRAL, SPECIAL and OTHER spells have no effect and are discarded.

6.64)

　FLEET/ARMY EATER automatically destroys any armies and/or fleets attacked.

Personalities may attempt Heroic Escapes.

6.65)

　PLAY IMMEDIATELY spells have their normal effect.

6.66)

　After the Random Attacks are resolved, the spell is always discarded.

All Random Attack combat is resolved as normal, see section 9.

1977 ボードゲーム「エルリック／Elric」5

5) REPLACEMENTS

　Replacements may be taken by any player that has lost units.

During each of his Replacement Phases, the player may replace 1 Army OR 1 Fleet.

All replaced units return in the capital of the nation that receives them.

If the capital is not a Seaport, no fleets of that nation may be replaced.

If the capital is not in the player's possession, no replacements are allowed for that nation.

Replacements received in a nation's capital may only be units of that nationality.

5.1)

　Any nation controlled by a player is eligible to take replacements.

5.2)

　Players that draw the Muster for a country that they already control may initiate a Special Replacement Phase by playing that muster instead of another.

When this is done, each City in the nation that is not under enemy control can build an army AND each port can build a fleet.

In addition, the capital can replace one leader.

The leader replaced must have the LOWEST Combat Strength of all Leaders lost.

If a magician is replaced he will not begin with any spells.

5.21)

　Units created in 5.2 may only be taken from those that have been lost by that nation.

5.3)

　Any nation that loses ALL of its personalities reverts to Neutrality.

All units that remain on the board are removed, except those units that are in Cities that are under attack.

Units in these cities will continue to fight until the attacker wins or is repulsed.

5.31)

　A nation that is neutralized in 5.3 above may be mustered normally at any time after it is forcedinto Neutrality.

5.4) EXCEPTION

　The capital of Lormyr is the only in land capital that may build fleets.

Any fleet that is built in this city must be moved down the river to the ports Trepasaz and Ramasaz.

If an enemy controls these ports, the player controlling Lormyr may NOT build fleets in his capital.

5.41)

　The river leading to the capital of Lormyr may only be used to send ships from Lormyr to one of the ports.

It may not be used by the enemy to attack the capital.

[The Lormyr player may sail down river, no one may sail up the river towards the capital, including Lormyr].

   From him, turns pass in a Clockwise rotation for the remainder of the game.

4.91)

　Each scenario lists a Specific Objective and is a 10 turn game.

Victory can be achieved in the following manner (in order of precedence):

A)

　Any player that captures Imrryr, capital of Melnibone, wins.

B)

　Any player that fulfills his scenario victory conditions wins.

C)

　If the world ends through a tipping of the Balance towards Law, the player that has the Runestaff wins.

If no one has the Runestaff, the player with the highest total Law Magic value, from spells, wins.

D)

　If the world ends due to a tipping of the Balance towards Chaos, the player who controls Mournblade wins.

If no one has Mournblade, the player with the highest total value of Chaos spells wins.

E)

　The player that controls the greatest number of Enemy capitals wins.

EXAMPLE - Order of Precedence means, for example, that if a player completes B above, the only chance that the other players will have to win will be to capture Imrryr, i.e. A supersedes B, B supersedes C, etc.

Ashaneloon, Sorceress Isle and the Islands of the Unholy Fortress are wilderness islands.

R'lin K'ren A'a is considered a continent.

It is often referred to as the Jungle Lands and is a wilderness area.

R'lin K'ren A'a, Sorcerer's Isle, Ashaneloon and the Unholy Fortress contain Spell symbols.

　The oceans are divided into smaller areas, called Seas.

All seas are treated identically except for the Straits of Chaos, the Serpent's Teeth and the Boiling Sea.

The restrictions that apply for these are delineated in section 6.5.

　In all cases, Cities are marked as either a black dot, unwalled cities, a black dot within a partial or whole circle, walled cities, or by a Black Star, a national capital.

The effect of cities are delineated in sections 6 and 9.

　Ports are identified by Anchor symbols.

The symbols are located in SEA areas adjacent to the city.

If the symbol is parenthesized, the owning nation is capable of building fleets, as delineated in section 5.

　The Sword symbols located in Ashaneloon, the islands of the Unholy Fortress and the Sighing Desert [Mordaga's Castle] denote special places.

These areas are not cities.

The special place is located where the Sword appears on the map.

NOTE - The small, unmarked islands just off Melnibone have no effect in this game.

They are not used.

Likewise, the illustrations found in the Dragon Sea, the Straits of Chaos and the Straits of Vilmir (A Dragon, Octopus and Large Fish respectively) have no effect on the play of the game.

Ignore them.

2.2) THE PIECES

The Fleet's Combat strength applies when it is at sea.

Its Movement Value, the number of Seas that it may move in a single game-turn, is located in the Lower-Lett corner of the unit.

Each personality has a Combat Strength listed in the upper-left corner.

If the value is parenthesized, the personality may not fight in combat.

It is only used for its influence with Elric.

Personalities that have a value in the upper-right corner of the unit are Magicians.

The number is their Spell Capacity, i.e. the number of spells that the personality can carry at one time.

2.24) MAGIC SPELLS

2.252) TURN MARKER

　This marker is used to keep track of the number of game turns remaining to play.

2.253) STACK MARKERS

　The Stack Markers, four groups of six counters each, can be used by players to identify their stacks during play and thus preventing any possible confusion.

2.26) THE COLOR CODE

　Except for the Magic Spells and Markers, all counters have a Color Code representative of their nationality.

The codes that are applicable are:

EXAMPLE - All Melnibone counters, from Elric to the Golden Battle Barge, will be Red on Black counters.

This combination will always indicate a Melnibonean unit of some kind.

　The Cosmic Balance has two arms.

Each arm is divided into twelve sections.

The rules for using this table are found in section 12.
