From publisher blurb: Anstarra has 8 basic rules you must know. For easy memorization, each one coincides with a letter in the word A-N-S-T-A-R-R-A. 1. Always play safe 2. Never stop playing (except for safety) 3. Spells and special effects use cards 4. Treasure is kept in pouches 5. All solid unblocked weapon hits are wounds 6. Receiving a limb wound disables that limb 7. Receiving a torso wound knocks you out 8. After dying, you become a spirit
