Sometimes, a quest will spawn a special foe that you
need to battle. These don’t have a foe card but all their
information is on the token.
 Sequence of Play
The game is played in a series of rounds, known
as months. The game will end in a loss at the
end of six months. The start player takes the first
turn of the first month, then players take turns
in clockwise order from there.
The number of individual turns in each month
is determined randomly by the app, but the
average is eight turns per month. You can gauge
roughly how many turns are left in the month by
the tower lights; the faster they pulse, the closer
you are to the end of the month. After a certain
number of turns, the app will inform you that
the current month has ended.
At the start of the month, a new quest from your
ally and a new quest to thwart the adversary
will be available. Players should read those and
place markers on the board to note where the
quests are.
Individual Turns
This is a cooperative game, so it’s a good idea to discuss your plans
with the other players and coordinate your actions with one another.
But the final word for any decisions that you make on your turn
is yours and yours alone.
When it is your turn, perform these three steps
in order:
1. Start of Turn: You may use your banner
ability.
2. Middle of Turn: You may move, take a
heroic action, and reinforce.
3. End of Turn: You must drop a skull into
the tower.
When the current month ends, the app will
reveal the outcome of any current quests that
the heroes failed to complete during the month.
Read this outcome out loud and carry out any
instructions indicated by the app.
When the next month begins, play resumes with
the turn of the player who is next in clockwise
order from the player who took the final turn of
the previous month.
Start of Turn
In this step, you may use your banner ability
once. Using your banner ability is optional; you
are not required to do so. However, this is your
only chance to use your banner ability; you
cannot use it in a later step of the turn.
Your banner ability, which is unique to your
hero, is listed on your hero board.
Brutal Warlord
Gain 4   .
Take 4 warriors from the supply.
Orphaned Scion
Gain 1   .
Take 1 spirit from the supply.
Middle of Turn
In this step, you may move your hero, take
a heroic action , and reinforce in a building .
These three parts are all optional, and you
decide the sequence in which they occur.
MOVE YOUR HERO 
  
You may move your hero a number of spaces
up to your move value. Your base move value
is listed on your hero board. There are some
game effects that can modify your move
value. You can also spend one spirit to double
your move value for one turn.
Determine your move value before you start
moving. This includes deciding whether
to spend one spirit to double your move
value. After you have started moving, if you
encounter any effects that would modify your
move value, those do not go effect until your
current turn is over.
If you have other abilities or
effects which occur “at the
start of your turn,” you may
carry those out before and/
or after using your banner
ability; you decide the order.
Relic Hunter
Gain 1 potion.

Spymaster
Take the standard reinforcement
of the building you are in.
You still pay spirit if the building
has skulls.
You can even split up your movement, using
some of it before and/or after the other parts
of this step.
With each space of movement you use, you
can move from your current space to an
adjacent space. Spaces on the game board are
adjacent to each other if they share a narrow
black border (land) or thick blue border
(water).
Leaving a space occupied by foes uses two
spaces of movement (instead of the usual
one). This does not scale with the number
of foes; as long as there is at least one foe
present, the cost of leaving that space is two
spaces of movement.

TAKE A HEROIC ACTION 
  
BAZAAR
vs. STEALTH foes
There are three different heroic actions:
cleanse, battle, and quest . You may only take
one of these heroic actions per turn. If you are
in a space occupied by one or more foes, you
cannot cleanse or quest; you can only battle.
CLEANSE 
  
This action allows you to cleanse a building. In
order to take this action, you must be in a space
that contains a building, and that building must
have at least one skull on it. Remove all of the skulls
from that building and return them to the supply.
Example: You (Orphaned Scion) are in Hissing Groves,
which is where the west kingdom’s citadel is located.
The citadel is still standing, but there are three skulls
on it — it’s dangerously close to being destroyed. You
decide to cleanse the building as your heroic action for
the turn and return those three skulls to the supply.
Because the Orphaned Scion has a virtue that lets
them remove one skull from a building of the same
type in a different kingdom, you remove a skull from a
Citadel in the eastern kingdom. Then, because this is a
heroic action, you gain 2 spirit.

When a skull emerges from the tower, it will
