3-5 players are recommended. 
Deal 5 cards to each player.
Youngest player goes first.
Objective: You are creating your very own Ranch full of fantasy creatures. You want to get the most Glory each round.
Play:
Select one of your cards and play it in front of you. Complete all actions on the card if possible. Then the play passes to the next player. The play rotates clockwise until a player reverses the play. 
On your next turn, when you play a card down in front of you, play it to the right of the last card you played. Do this for each following turn you take forming the ranch from left to right. 
Round end: a round is over if: 1) a player’s hand is empty, 2) a player played a 7th card in their Ranch, or 3) if there are no cards left in the deck or discard pile (shuffle the discard pile into the deck when someone needs to draw a card but can’t). 
Scoring: When one of the 3 ways to cause a round to end has occurred, each player will add up all the Glory at the top left corner of each card in their Ranch. Next, they’ll locate the negative numbers on the bottom right of each card that are left in their hand and subtract those numbers from their total. That will give them the number of Glory they earned that round. Players CAN earn negative points and lose total points but their overall point total can never go below zero. They just stop at 0. 
Also note: some cards below their text box have an Hour Glass symbol. This Hour Glass symbol means it has a bonus way of scoring Glory. Be sure to check those during this step also.
Then the next round begins with the player to the left of the player that caused the last round to end and the play continues clock wise. 
I recommend keeping up with the score on a piece of paper and play to a score total determined by the group. 
If this is your first game, I recommend you play to 
50 Glory for 3-4 players
30 Glory for 5 players 
After you learn the game, you could increase this number if you want to play longer.
