To play Battle for the Eternal Souls, first, decide on the number of players (1, 2, or 4) and choose a side, either heaven or hell. Each game is about battling for 28 souls. When using cards like temptation, virtue, sin, etc., add holy or unholy points to the souls in play. If you manage to get enough holy points on a soul, it'll go to heaven when reaped, and you'll earn victory points for the good side. Similarly, enough unholy points send the soul to hell for the evil side. Souls that don't meet the point requirements end up in purgatory. Try to guide a soul to complete purity or darkness before death and judgment to unlock new archangels or princes. You can spend influence on more powerful cards to gain souls faster. Think about your strategies, whether it's getting more help from heaven or hell, quickly reaping souls at the start, or a balanced approach. You can buy Sin, Intercession, and Relic cards for beneficial effects, but it'll cost you holy and unholy points. As for maintenance, keep the cards in a dry and cool place to prevent damage. And remember, the paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. If you have any questions, feel free to contact The Game Steward.
