The game of Alarún plays in 8 rounds, each in the same way. In these 8 rounds you place 24 ingredients that form your magic square of 5x5 cards. Your druid apprentice completes your magic square. During a round you chose 1 of the 3 available actions, after the first player passes every other player can take 1 more action. Swap 1 ingredient from your hand with 1 of the 3 ingredients that are face up in the centre of the table. Pass Do not swap an ingredient.
