How to use

Players select a monster and take turns rolling dice to perform actions such as moving, attacking, healing, or gaining energy. Cards are drawn and resolved to modify outcomes, grant abilities or change the state of the board. Victory is achieved by reaching a set number of victory points or by eliminating opposing creatures in combat. Rules focus on balancing risk and reward while tracking position on the city board and managing available actions each round.

Usage recommendations

For best results, play with a consistent rule reference nearby during initial sessions and allow players a short planning window each turn to consider dice options and card synergies. Use a dedicated flat surface for the city board to prevent component overlap and speed up resolution of combat and movement.
