Free-For-All
Free-For-All follows the same deck building rules Constructed Format uses.

Free-For-All Changes a few core rules. See below.
Determining Initiative
-
3 Players
The Player with the lowest combined Familiar Power chooses 1 of their Fields to become the Reserve Field and gains Initiative. Then, each other Player removes 1 of their Fields from the game. The remaining 3 Fields are randomly placed in Fields 1, 2 and 3.
-
4 Players
The Player with the lowest combined Familiar Power chooses 1 Field to become the Reserve Field and that Fields Owner gains Initiative.
Passing
-
3 Players
The Player who passes 1st gains Initiative. The Player who passes 2nd gains the Power Stone.
-
4 Players
The Player who passes 1st gains Initiative. The Player who passes 2nd chooses to gain the Power Stone of the Protection Stone. The Player who passes 3rd gets the last remaining Stone.
Scoring
-
Starting with Field 1, the player with the most Power wins and gains VP equal to its value. The Player with the 2nd most Power gains 1 VP.
-
If any Players are tied for having the most or 2nd most Power, both/all win or gain any VP and effects.
-
Continue this for Fields 2 and 3.
