TURN SEQUENCE
Each turn is divided into 5 phases:
Draw Phase
Search Phase
Encounter Phase
Resolution Phase
Treasure Phase
DRAW PHASE
Each player fills their hand to 8 cards from their own deck.
If the deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it.
SEARCH PHASE
Each player may discard up to 4 cards and draw replacements.
ENCOUNTER PHASE
First the PP may play one or more Treasure Cards
Second, the DM plays one of the following:
1. Nothing
2. A meld of 1 or more Creature Cards.
3. One Trap Card.
The DM may also play one Room card.
The PP may play a "Secret passage" card to discard a card played by the GM.
RESOLUTION PHASE
The PP plays nothing if the DM played nothing.
The PP may play a Stealth card to eliminate a Trap card if the DM played a Trap card.
If the DM played a trap card and the PP did not play a
Stealth card, one random hero is killed.
If the DM played a meld of Creature cards add up the “Fight” value of all the creatures.
All creatures in the Meld must be of the same type, for instance they must all be
Undead, or they must all be Goblinkin.
“X” type creatures may not meld.
Some Room cards add to the Fight total.
The PP may play attribute cards to fight the Meld.
The PP may play one Attribute cards on each of his heroes.
The Attribute card must match one of the heroes’ attributes.
Gain “Fight” points equal to the heroes level in that attribute.
For Example: If you play Sword on the Barbarian you get 2 Fight points.
Some cards give an additional bonus vs certain types of creatures.
Add up the Fight point total of the entire party (Minimum = 1).
If the Creature total is equal to or less than the party total, no heroes are killed.
If the Creature total is greater than the party total, one random hero is killed.
If the Creature total is twice the party total, two random heroes are killed.
If the Creature total is three times the party total, three random
heroes are killed, and so on.
If any heroes are killed discard all the Treasure cards played.
If all the heroes are killed the DM wins the Game.
TREASURE PHASE
The PP may claim Treasure cards still in play.
Treasures are placed in the PP's Treasure pile.
If the Party ever gains 50+ Treasure points the PP automatically wins.

FAQ's
1) Armor x2 attribute: how do you use it? This means that you can save up
to 2 heroes killed if you play an Armor card on this character?
No. If you play an armor card you can either add 2 Fight points (If the character
had only Armor x1 then just add 1) or save one character. Add the points if it'll
make the difference, otherwise use the card to avoid a casualty. The extra level
of armor adds to the fight total, but does not affect the special ability.
2) Stealth x2 attribute: since the DM can only play 1 trap how do you use the x2?
As above. If you play a stealth card you can either add 2 Fight
points (If the character had only Stealth x1 then just add 1) or negate 1 Trap.
OBSTACLES
Additional Material by Zak
add a new DM card type, Obstacles.
Obstacles have a Fight Value like creatures and can be played by the DM as
a 4th option (instead of playing traps, creatures or nothing).
The resolution phase against Obstacles is the same as the vs Creatures
case: the only difference is that if the DM win the PP only loose his
treasure (no kills). In alternative the PP can play a stealth card to
eliminate an obstacle
Add the following cards to the DM deck
# Name: Fight
1 Portcullis 5
1 Collapsed Floor 4
2 Reinforced door 3
Add to the PP deck 1 stealth card.
