At the beginning of the game, the Sword miniature is placed in the middle of the game board. The first player to land on the space where Lion Heart is takes the sword. The player who takes the sword has a permanent increase of attack power by 1. If the player who has the sword dies, the sword is also taken away by attacking player. If the player who has the sword dies via a trap, the sword falls onto this space on the board. Ghosts cannot take the sword.
