Rotate the tile 90° clockwise or each star rolled. I is rolled, flip the tile to the opposite side.

SQUARES Every dungeon tile has a grid o squares on it. Squares are used or movement, movement, range, and determining area effects. A model cannot can not ever move move into or through a location on a dungeon tile t hat does not have a square. Likewise, no action or ability can affect a location that does not have a square.

WALLS

OPEN SQUARES Squares that do not have a tile effect are called open squares.

Dungeons laid out in a straight line are typically easier to deeat than ones in a square or cross pattern.

Tese cards are on the card. Only treasure t reasure cards supplied with models or wonders being used in the t he game may be chosen.

Each tile has a square marked where the spawning point is to be placed. Players then place a treasure chest anywhere within five squares o each spawning point. Next, every spawning point on the dungeon map spawns. Te players place each monster within two squares o the spawning point. Monsters may not be placed in a negative tile effect, or adjacent to another monster, unless it cannot be placed otherwise. Monsters may only be spawned rom a spawning point which lists them as part o its spawning pool. I a spawning point is a paired spawning point players must divide the monsters, by gang, between both spawning points as equally as possible. Gangs must be placed together. See Monste Monsterr Gangs Ga ngs, page 20-21.

Te players have no unique command cards or this game, so use the standard deck.

SPAWNING POINT

Heroes roll dice or almost everything they do. Tere are three di fferen fferentt colors o dice: blue, red, and green. In general, green dice are better than red dice and red dice are better than blue dice. A Hero’s game card shows the number and color o dice the Hero rolls or each attribute. In addition, Heroes may gain bonus dice rom equipment, potions, or other effects.

HEARTS Blue and green dice can roll hearts. I an offense roll wins and any or were rolled rolled a heart has popped out o the target! A Hero may immediately remove one wound token or one status effect token rom any Hero’s Hero’s game card ca rd or each heart rolled.

POTIONS Red and green dice can roll potions. I an offense roll wins and any or were rolled the target has dropped a potion! A Hero may immediately place one potion token on any Hero’s Hero’s game card c ard or each potion rolled.
