Scrimish is a really easy game, similar to Stratego, which I will probably reference a lot in this post. You have 5 piles of cards, which each have 5 cards. You chose which cards go where in which pile. Phew. Try saying that 5 times fast! Anyway, the only official rule for where you must 
place a card is the fact that the crown (the Stratego equivalent: the flag) must be on the bottom of one of the 5 piles.
There are basic characters, numbered 1-6, who, rather simply, win if they are the highest number. Then there are the special cards. There are archers, shields and the crown. If you attack with the archer, he automatically wins. If your archer is attacked, he automatically loses. Shields cannot attack, but when your shield is attacked, it takes the attacker into the discard with him. Last, there are crowns. If you want to, and it’s legal (when the crown is the top card of his stack), you can attack with your crown. If he attacks another crown, he wins, and you win. If he attacks anything else, he loses, and you lose. If he is attacked, you lose.
