Add a new rule named “The Horde” with the following text:

Each Necromancer has a publicly-tracked Menagerie, which is a list that may be empty or may contain 1, 2, or 3 Cards from the table in the subrule “Cards”.

Each Necromancer has a publicly-tracked number named Prestige, defaulting to 0.

There is a Horde which is a list of Cards from the table in the subrule “Cards”. The Horde is created by the Grim Reaper using the Assemble Horde action, which is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Un-sticky the post with the current Horde, if there is any. The contents of this post are no longer considered the Horde.
* Randomly select a Card from the table in the subrule “Cards”, and repeat until there are as half as many Cards selected (rounded down) as there are non-Idle Necromancers, then put the selected Cards into a numbered list called the Horde, starting with the number 1. Duplicates of the same Card are allowed.
* Create a new Story Post with the title “Horde” followed by today’s date and with the body containing the Horde, and make this post sticky.

At any time, a Necromancer may privately communicate to the Grim Reaper a Card from the Horde that they wish to place a Bid on using its number in the Horde list, but only if they have less than 3 Cards in their Menagerie. The Bid must be a number between 0 and that Necromancer’s Power, inclusive.

At any time, a Necromancer may privately communicate to the Grim Reaper a Card from their Menagerie that they wish to play, and any choices that the Card allows the Necromancer to make as described in that Card’s Effects.

Add a subrule to “The Horde” named “Cards” with the following text:

Every Card has a Name, a number named Attack, a number named Defense, and a Description.

When a Card is played with Target in the Effects, the Grim Reaper determines a Combat Win using the Card Combat action, which is an atomic action with the following steps and where the Necromancer who selected this Card to be played is the Attacker:
* The Attack is the Attack value of the Card that the Attacker selected.
* If the Target selected a Card to be played, the Defense is the Defense of the Card that the Target selected. If the Target did not select a Card to play, the Defense is 0.
* If the Attack is greater than the Defense, this is a Combat Win for the Attacker.

In the subrule “The Hourglass”, add the following bullet points just before the bullet starting with “For each Necromancer, perform any Hourglass Action”:

* Among the Necromancers that requested to play a Card since the previous Sands of the Hourglass, randomly select the order in which to process each Necromancer’s request, using their most recent request. From this randomly-selected order, play each Necromancer’s requested Card by resolving the Effects of that Card. When all the requests for Cards to be played have been processed, remove each played Card from the Necromancer’s Menagerie who selected it.
* For each Necromancer that requested to place a Bid on a Card in the Horde list since the previous Sands of the Hourglass, choose their most recent request, then subtract their requested Bid from their Power, then add their requested Card to that Necromancer’s Menagerie if their Bid is higher than any other Necromancer’s Bid for that same number in the Horde list or if they are the only Necromancer to have Bid on that number. If multiple Necromancers have the higest Bid for that number in the Horde list, then no one receives that Card.
* Perform the Assemble Horde atomic action.
