 Flow of The Game Actions in General

The game is played in turns. Each turn a player takes Most actions in the game can be described in the
one Major Action: following manner:
Journey - the player takes a card from the Journey “Cost Effect”
Track, paying Crystals ( ). This is the main way Only after the Cost is paid, does the Effect take
to obtain Item ( ) and Enchantment ( ) Cards place. The cost must be fully paid, while the effect
and fight Monsters ( ) and Dragons ( ). has to be implemented as much as possible.
Rest ( ) - the player uses one of the available ( ) The actions a player may take are the ones described
options from the Village Card ( ) or one of her own on the Village ( ) Card, Overlord Card ( ) and
cards. Resting allows you to collect Crystals ( ) and the topmost cards of the player’s own Item ( ),
heal Wounds ( ). After each Rest ( ) action the Enchantment ( ), Monsters ( )/Dragons ( )

Actions.

Multiaction can be used as many times as

players want. Double Action can be used twice.
Example (Normaltown):
“Multiaction: 2 ” Martha may pay 2, 4,
6 or more Crystals ( ) to receive an extra +1,
+2, +3 or more Attack Points ( ) this turn.
Martha pays 6 Crystals ( ) to get 3 Attack
Points ( ), so that she wins a fight with a
Dragon Turtle.

Major Action: Rest ( )

Rest actions are always marked by a symbol
preceding its cost.
The icon should be read as: Use your Major Action
as a Rest Action. Then at the end of your turn
discard the card on the Journey Track nearest to
the Village ( ) Card and refill as usual.
Rest actions are on every Village Card, but can be also
found on some Item ( ) or Enchantment ( ) Cards.
Taking a Rest is a standard way of gaining Crystals ( )
and healing Wounds ( ).

Example (Normaltown): “ 3 ” Jack uses

his Major Action to Rest ( ) and get 3 Crystals.
Then, because he can’t do anything else, he
finishes his turn, discards the card nearest to the
Village ( ) Card, moves the remaining 5 cards
on the Journey Track toward the Village ( )
Card, draws a new card and places it after the
last card on the Journey Track.

Some cards have passive effects which trigger Example: Susan decides to fight a Manticore
upon certain events. For example: “after using 2( ) 5 ( ). She has 3 Attack Points ( )
