In Rebirth, Magi want to rebuild the Order and fight for dominance. You use spells from all six magical schools, make your way across the Black Rose Academy, complete tasks, win against other Magi and defeat the Black Rose, summon creatures, complete tasks and use Curse and Upgrade cards for advantages. In the Avatar game mode, Black Rose appears as a Magi doing her own turns, and evolves into an even more powerful opponent. Rounds of the game comprise six phases: 1) Black Rose – resolve events, receive tasks of the Black Rose; 2) Study – take spells from book and library in hand; 3) Preparation – Place spell from hand face-down on character board; 4) Action – all act in turn until nobody can do another action; you use spells from the character board and resolve physical actions; 5) Summoning – resolve summoning actions; 6) Clean-Up – check for end of game, prepare next round. Changes in the phase of the moon interrupt a current phase and are resolved immediately. If someone accrues more points on the power board than indicated by the Black Rose’s moon marker, you score power points for completed tasks, trophies and activation tiles. When one power tile tops 30 points, the last round is played. Afterwards you score power points for resolved tasks, trophies and activation tiles and win with most points; should Black Rose have the most points, the game is lost for all players. Rebirth can be combined with Black Rose Wars.
