# Game Objective

The main objective in Eternal Legacy is to strategically reduce your opponent's health points from 30 to 0 using a combination of tactics involving minions, spells, and direct hero actions, before your opponent can do the same to you.<br>

**Starting the Game**:

* Each player starts with a deck of 30 cards specifically crafted or selected before the game.
* At the beginning, you draw 6 cards (or 4 if you go second, plus "The Coin" to gain an extra mana crystal once).
* You may redraw any cards from your initial hand to optimize your starting options.
