GAME PHASES
A game of Torii lasts 5 rounds, unless
mission rules indicate otherwise.

Each round is divided in two turns, one

for each player. One of the players will
act first with all of his miniatures, and
then the other player.

The player that is playing his turn is

called the active player, and the other
is called the reactive player.

The reactive player may act

using the actions listed in the
Reaction list.

Each player’s turn is

divided in two phases:
Maintenance and
Activation.
