[edit] How to use the Comprehensive Rules
The L5R Comprehensive Rules are organized into three sections.
- The Core Comprehensive Rules contain information on card types and states, how to read cards, the turn sequence, and other basic things involved in playing the game.
- The Rules Glossary contains rules about specific game terms you may encounter, organized alphabetically, as well as indexing links to terms mentioned in the Core Comprehensive Rules.
- The Specific Card Rulings are an archive of Rules Team decisions about ambiguous or tricky wordings on cards, and official changes to cards by errata or most recent printing (MRP). They are organized alphabetically, by card title.
If you are looking for a rule or ruling on a specific topic, the easiest way to find it is to search the Comprehensive Rules. A "Search" box can be found at the left of every page, under the L5R logo and the "Navigation" box.
If you are looking to print or download the Comprehensive Rules for study or judging purposes, see Printable Rules. Then, click on "Printable version," which can be found at the left of every page in the "Toolbox" box. Warning: The complete print out is about 85 pages with average print settings. If saved to disk as an HTML file, it is about 351 KB in size.
