-When a conflict begins, the player whose character is involved builds a deck comprised of one card per asset level that they bring to bear, drawn randomly and secretly from the "benefits deck," to which the opposition player (GM or whomever) adds cards from the "danger deck," the number of which are based on how dangerous the situation is rated. Once built, the player then draws a number of cards each round of resolution, and resolve all of the drawn cards. The player and the opposition player should narrate the their interpretation of the results of the draw. The player may then proceed to another round, or declare the resolution to be complete. +When a conflict begins, the player whose character is involved builds a deck comprised of one card per asset level that they bring to bear, drawn randomly and secretly from the "benefits deck," to which GM adds cards from the "danger deck," the number of which are based on how dangerous the situation is rated.

 ==== Pace ==== ==== Pace ====
 The pace of a conflict is decided by the GM, but is normally 3, unless the characters involved are all agreeing to go much more cautiously or recklessly than normal, and the situation would allow for this. This determines how many cards will be drawn from the resolution deck each round, though this may vary due to some cards drawn.  The pace of a conflict is decided by the GM, but is normally 3, unless the characters involved are all agreeing to go much more cautiously or recklessly than normal, and the situation would allow for this.

 +If the resolution deck is depleted when drawing, put the discarded cards back into their respective decks, and then draw up a new resolution deck using the same method as the first deck was drawn up, and continue drawing from the new deck until a number of cards equal to the pace has been drawn for the round. 
 +
 +Alternate rule to try: If not enough cards can be drawn, treat this as if an Interrupt card has been drawn. 
 +
 +===== PvP =====
 +If more than one PC is involved in a conflict, they each draw up a deck in the same fashion. The GM will determine the number of Danger cards to add to each deck based not on the quality of the opponents, but on other external factors that make the situation dangerous... it's possible that the GM will add no dangers to reflect that the only danger in the situation comes from the opponents inflicting consequences on each other, or preventing each other from reaching their goals.

 +===== Goal Resolution =====
 +
 +==== Orthogonal Goals ====
 +If the goals of each side are opposing and mutually exclusive, then this is an orthogonal goal. This will be the case most of the time. In this case, once no side wishes to continue the resolution, compare the number of Advances each side has (Danger Advances for general dangers). If the character has more Advances than the opposition, then they have achieved their goal. The level of the success is equal to the number of surpluss advantages they have over the opposition. 
 +
 +==== Parallel Goals ====
 +If both sides are able to accomplish their goals, then each side may choose to use their Advances to cancel the other side's when they are drawn, but gains all of their Advances still present at resolution as successes.
