# Matches

After both players have selected an Immortal and set of Equipment cards, the match will be resolved automatically and shown to both players.

A match consists of multiple [Rounds](/gameplay/how-to-play/rounds.md), with each round lasting multiple [Turns](/gameplay/how-to-play/turns.md)![](/files/zKULNic4IHPt2Y7Nhk2g). A single match can be set to 3, 4, 5, or an even greater number of turns.

The match continues until one or both combatants reach a Health of 0 or lower or a predefined maximum number of rounds is reached, which will result in a tie.

Matches have a maximum card level, with only Immortal and Equipment cards of that level or below allowed. Immortal and Equipment cards that are of a higher level than the maximum for the match's rank will have their level shifted down to the maximum card level.
