In Fort Night, all players will command 100 soldiers and to attempt to capture the highest valued forts.
Along a river there exist 10 forts, holding a different number of golden coins. Fort 1 has 1 thousand gold coins, fort 2 has 2 thousand gold coins, fort 3 has 3 thousand gold coins... and so on through fort 10.
Each round you will battle control for one of the following forts, in this order: 3, 5, 9, 1, 8, 4, 2, 6, 7, 10.
Whoever secretly sends more soldiers in a round wins the fort and its gold. The soldiers sent by the player losing player will be revealed. If both players send the same amount of soldiers, the gold in that fort will be split evenly between the players (no rounding).
Soldiers sent to fight for a fort in a round do not come back for the rest of the game, regardless of whether they win or lose.
The first player to reach 28 thousand gold wins the game and wins the deathmatch.
In the case of a tie, the player who had the highest gold total after the last round is negated wins. If there is still a tie, the next-to-last round is negated... and so on.**
Note: Fort order may change next time DM is played.
