1 YELLOW TOKEN (ssaousd1)

1 GREEN TOKEN (ssaousd1)

Step 8 You will most likely “have missing card errors”, but these are easily fixed. Every missing card will be listed in a red bar beneath the search field. Just click a name, and it will appear in the search box. From there, delete the number in front of the name and search for the card. You’ll know it’s the correct one because it will say “splsgaAOUSd1” to the right of it. Drag the missing card to the “starts in main deck” section on the right. BE SURE TO ADJUST THE NUMBER TO THE LEFT OF THE CARD: it should be (1) not (4).

  • You should have (5) cards under “Starts in Play

  • You should have (47) cards under “starts in main deck”

Troubleshooting:

  • Some of the 5 starting cards may need to be dragged from “starts in main deck to “starts in play”

  • If the numbers are wrong, check and make sure each card has a (1) and not a (4) in font of it.

  • The following “cards” should be dragged to the “tokens” section

    • AOUS ALL HEROES ART

    • BLUE TOKEN

    • VIOLET TOKEN

    • RED TOKEN

    • YELLOW TOKEN

    • GREEN TOKEN

Step 2 - Make game type “Solo” and unclick “Enable Mirror Player” before clicking “Start Game”

Step 4 - Set the Starting Cards up in the following order:

PART 3 - HELPFUL TIPS FOR UNTAP.IT

There’s a learning curve to playing Spell Saga on a digital platform, but these few tips should help you learn the process quickly.

To CYCLE a card, click any card and the letter “Y” on your keyboard. You can also click any card and click “send to bottom” of deck in the pop-up menu

To Flip a card, click any card and hit the letter “J” on your keyboard.

To Search the Deck, click the deck on the bottom right and “find card”.

To Flip a card “Face Up” in the deck, there is no true solution, the best method is as follows: Select which card in the deck you’d like to “flip up” Send it to Play, then highlight that card and click “K” to clone it, this will create a duplicate of the card you can move to the side of the play area, to keep track of which cards are face-Up in the Deck. Then you just click the original card, and send it to the bottom of the deck with “Y”.

To Move the top place card to the bottom of its place stack, simply move the top card (A) away from the stack, then pull the next one (B) away as well. Now highlight the first card (A) with the rest of the deck, click “group cards” and then click “ungroup cards” (this puts them in a nice stack). Now you can take the second card (B) and put it on top of the others.
