2. Remove characters that can't be used.
3. Choose 4 valid player characters as your party (see Playable Characters below). Do this for each player.

5. Mix all map tiles together and put them in a draw pile in the middle of the table.

7. Take the top map tile and place it face up in the middle of the table, this is the starting tile. Place all player characters on the starting tile.

• Action Cards are not used. Each character has two actions each turn, whether a player character, or a monster.
• Combat Cards
  • The monsters draw a random card for combat when necessary. These cards are put into a discard pile that is reshuffled when the cards run out.
  • Players may choose which of their cards to play. These are also put in a discard pile. The player may not get the cards back until all cards have been used.
• Character Tokens that are discovered in the dungeon are always monsters and regarded as the enemy to all players.
• Combat - players may not attack each other.
• Revealing Tiles - There is no set pattern to tiles, and so tiles may be revealed in any direction.
  • When a tile is revealed, count the number of player characters and divide by 4 (rounding down), then add one for each tile distant this tile is from the starting tile. Place this many tokens on the tile.
  • e.g. 2 Player game with all 8 characters — Starting Tile – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6
• Leaving the Dungeon - In order for a player character to leave the dungeon, it must move to the rotation control on the starting tile.

Monster behaviour is determined by the colour of the map tile they appear in. They behave in either an Aggressive or Defensive manner. Warm coloured tiles have aggressive monsters, cool coloured and neutral tiles have defensive monsters

Aggressive monsters actively seek out weak player characters. They will choose the quickest, safest routes to the weakest characters. Always going for the closest with a combat strength less than theirs, first. If there are items nearby, they will pick them up if possible on the way and use them if they can or otherwise carry them to provoke player characters into attacking.

Defensive monsters wish to form defensive groups, and prefer to group attack player characters. They will choose the quickest, safest routes to other monsters and where possible, help out that monster with a group attack. If there are items nearby, they will try to pick them up and use them if they can, if not then to drop them where they are inaccessible. gallery_showalbum_gamescotwist” files spamemail
