SHOWDOWN AT BONE ORCHARD by Panicmolt and Jet
You are a minor Deity, seeking power and
followers. Your servants are Hunters, who
seek money and your strange blessings. You
have given them a limited immortality, so
long as they do your bidding.
Showdowns over ritual sites are incredibly
fast and brutal affairs.
KEY PRINCIPLES
Most Important Rule: When rules are
unclear, use common sense and what
makes for interesting stories.
Resources: Notecards/paper for Hunter
Sheets, pencils, a deck of 52 playing cards
(remove Jokers) for each player.
The Decks: Each player has a 52-card deck;
Aces are worth 1, Jacks 11, Queens 12, Kings
13. These decks power the abilities of
hunters and represent your magical
influence. Discarded cards are gone forever.
PREPARING THE GAME
The Field: Set up a 3x3 board of terrain with
25-50% covered in scenery. Follow any
scenario setup rules.
The Hunters: Prepare your hunters and note
their skills and equipment on note cards;
this is a Hunter sheet. Each player has $100
to spend on Hunters and their upgrades.
Each hunter is represented by one model.
Choose one player to deploy first; that
player deploys all their Hunters within 4” of
their board edge, then the other does the
same.
Victory and Scenarios: A player loses when
their deck of cards is empty.
It is recommended to use two scenarios
(below) to speed up the game. Scenarios
give extra ways to damage your opponent’s
deck than just killing your opponents’
hunters.
For scenario setup, reveal two cards from
any deck, and the suits of the two cards
become the objectives.
Final Setup: Shuffle your deck, then draw 7
cards from the deck to form starting hands.
PLAYING THE GAME
Rounds and Assignments: The game is
played in a series of rounds. Every round,
each player assigns one or two cards from
their hand, facedown, to each of their
controlled hunters.
After cards have been assigned, players turn
all cards faceup. Then, one at a time,
Resolve each card (see below) starting with
the lowest (Ace) ending with the highest
(King). High cards act later.
At the end of the round, draw 5 cards from
your deck, and perform a Resurrection for
all hunters.
RESOLVING ASSIGNED CARDS
Cards power hunter actions; higher-value
cards allow for greater effects or farther
movement.
When you resolve a card, spend it on an
Action listed on the Hunter Sheet that the
card was assigned to.
You may spend it on any action on their
sheet with a Target Number or TN equal to
or less than the assigned card. After you
resolve an action, discard the card.
HUNTERS
Pay them in coin, your Mark, and a taste of
immortality.
A hunter is a model and Hunter Sheet that
lists their gear and blessings. Hiring a hunter
costs $5. Hunters have 1HP by default, but
this can be upgraded.
Moving: All hunters have the Advance
action on their hunter sheet. The Advance
ability is used to move and attack in melee.
Advance TN:0 – Move this model X
inches, where X is equal to the value of the
assigned card. At the end of an Advance,
you may resolve an action with the Melee
tag.
Hunters can move up or down vertical
terrain like buildings at ½ movement, and
can jump small gaps (up to 1”) freely.
Abilities: Buying an upgrade (gear or a
blessing) for a hunter may give them that as
an ability.
Attacking: When a hunter uses a weapon
ability, if the target is in its effective range
band and has line of sight, the target takes
wounds equal to the weapon’s damage.
Wounds and Death: Whenever a model
takes damage, mark on its sheet. When it
has damage equal to its Health Points (HP),
that hunter dies and is no longer living.
Mark it as dead but do not remove the
model.
Resurrection: At the end of a round, remove
the damage from each dead Hunter and
return it to life. For each hunter resurrected
like this, discard 3 cards from your deck.
Terrain and Cover: Hunters that shoot at
enemies that are mostly in or behind cover
do one less damage, to a minimum of 1
damage.
If needed, terrain can be Rough Going. Units
that use any part of their Advance to go
through Rough Going can move at most 5”.
KEYWORDS
Expend: This may only be used once per
game.
AOE X: Choose a point within this ability’s
range, and this ability affects everything
within an X inch radius.
SCENARIOS
Draw two cards from any deck to create the
scenarios. Re-draw so that you use two
different suits.
♥Hearts - Places of Power:
Place two objectives along the center line of
the table, each 12” from the table edge. At
the end of each round, for each objective
that a player has at least one living model
touching, their opponent discards 5 cards
from their deck.
♠Spades – Desecration
Each player chooses one hunter to be the
Carrier. If a player’s Carrier ends an Advance
touching the opponents’ table edge, that
opponent discards 10 cards from their deck.
♣Clubs – Show of Force: The resurrection
cost of all models increases by two cards.
♦Diamonds: Harvest – Set up 8 Forsaken
NPC monsters on the board, taking turns to
place them. Forsaken are neutral, and act at
the end of every round, before
Resurrections, as if they were assigned a
King. They all take the same action.
Shambling Advance: Move this
Forsaken 8 inches towards the nearest
Hunter. If the Forsaken ends its movement
touching a Hunter, then deal the Hunter 1
damage.
At the end of each round, if you killed at
least 1 Forsaken, your opponent discards 5
cards from their deck.
OPTIONS
Monsters: If you wish, you can set up
neutral Forsaken monsters, even if you are
not playing Harvest.
Longer Games: To lengthen the game,
reshuffle the deck once after it’s exhausted.
Resurrection: Remember, Resurrection is
good and bad; you keep your hunters, but it
costs you cards. If this feels too punishing,
you can make Resurrection optional, but
make Scenarios worth more discards.
