How to use

Set up the modular tiles according to the scenario or random layout described in the rulebook, distribute player pieces and starting resources, and place encounter cards where indicated. On each turn, players take a limited number of actions such as moving, exploring a tile, resolving an encounter, or using special abilities. Follow the turn sequence and resolution steps in the rulebook for encounters and combat; use tokens or markers to track status effects and objectives. The game ends when a victory condition from the scenario or rulebook is met, at which point players compare results to determine the winner or collective outcome.

Usage recommendations

For best results, play on a clear table surface with enough space for modular tiles and player components. Consult the included rulebook for official scenarios and balance notes; beginners benefit from playing a short introductory scenario to learn movement and encounter mechanics before attempting full scenarios. Store components in separate bags or inserts to speed up setup and preserve card and tile condition.
