From the rulebook

When do I go Chaotic?

If you have 5 or less Life Points at the start of your turn, you go CHAOTIC — you draw a Chaos card at the beginning of each of your turns for as long as you stay at 5 or less life.

Do I ever draw Chaos cards automatically?

No. Chaos cards are only drawn when a card effect or your tribe's Chaos Trigger says so — or every turn while you're Chaotic. When drawn, a Chaos card resolves immediately and interrupts the current turn.

How many cards can I play on my turn?

Up to one Attack card and up to one Utility card, in any order. Reaction cards are different — any player may play them, any number of times, whenever their conditions are met.

What if I don't play any cards on my turn?

If you decide not to play a card on your turn, you draw an extra card from your player deck at the end of your turn.

When can I use my Tribal Power?

Once per game, at any time you could normally play a Reaction card (unless the power says otherwise). Tribal Powers are not deck or Chaos cards — they cannot be canceled and do not count toward card-play limits.

Can I heal a Monster or protect it with a prevent effect?

No. Monsters cannot be healed and cannot be protected by prevent effects. They menace everyone equally.

Who gets a Monster's Treasure?

The player who deals the final damage defeats the Monster and gains its Treasure effect — the Monster card sits in front of them as a trophy. Defeat three Monsters and you win immediately.

Can I reflect damage onto a Monster?

Yes. Reflected damage may be sent at a Monster, and cards that say "target a player" may target a Monster unless the card says otherwise.

Does reflecting damage count toward the Dwarf Chaos Trigger?

Yes — reflecting damage counts as prevention for Chaos triggers.

How does Vampire Drain work?

Drain counts as both damage dealt and healing received. For example, Drain 2 equals deal 2 and heal 2 — a net of 4 points toward the Vampire trigger (deal + heal 3 or more in a turn).

What happens when a player hits 0 Life Points?

They are eliminated immediately and all cards they control are removed from the game. Any Monsters they damaged remain in play.

What if two players could win at the same time?

If a last-player-standing win and a three-Monster win would happen simultaneously, the active player wins.

How big is my hand allowed to be?

At the end of your turn, if you have more than 7 cards in hand, discard down to 7.

Who goes first?

Choose a starting player at random. Turns then proceed clockwise.
