Set-up

• To play, you only need one copy of the Dice Tower.
• Put the Dice Tower on the Athena Island ([2 icon] and [3 icon]). To place this card on an island, place it straddling between cards so that it covers the portal of the island.

Effect

When the Active Player wants to complete a Heroic Feat on an island where there is the Dice Tower, he has to defeat the Dice Tower first. To do so, he places his Hero pawn on the Dice Tower Portal, then rolls the dice like he was getting the divine blessings, except he has to pay the resources shown on his dice instead of winning these, all in order to defeat the Dice Tower (paying rules apply as for the Minotaur - see Dice Forge rules).

There are two possible outcomes:

• 1/ If he pays ALL the required resources, the Player defeats the Dice Tower and adds the Points of Glory specified on the card ([12 Points of Glory icon]) into his Points of Glory reserve. Then, he decides and moves the Dice Tower on another island and leaves his Hero pawn on the island where he was about to complete a Heroic Feat.
  • a/ If he still has enough resources to complete a Heroic Feat of the island, then the Active Player can regularly complete the Heroic Feat.
  • b/ Otherwise, he loses his action (but he can still keep the Points of Glory previously received).
• 2/ If he doesn't have all the required resources, the Active Player can keep his resources, but the Dice Tower wins the battle and therefore remains on the island. The Player leaves his pawn on the Portal and loses his action.

Observations

• If the Hero Pawn of a player is on the island where the Dice Tower is moved, then this player is expelled.
• The rules and card effects interacting with the expelling regularly apply if a Player is expelled from the Dice Tower Portal or if the Dice Tower expells a player from an island.
• To get to the island where the Dice Tower is, basically a player should at least be able to complete one of the Heroic Feats of this island.
• Don't be able to pay all the resources to defeat the Dice Tower: this ends your action but not your turn.

Example

Paul wants to complete the Heroic Feat of the Minotaur on the Athena Island because he has 3 [resource icon]. But first he has to defeat the Dice Tower locking the island. Thus, he places his pawn on the Dice Tower Portal.

Paul rolls the dice to defeat the Dice Tower and gets 1 and 2 [dice face icons].

In his reserve, Paul has the required resources and pays these to defeat the Dice Tower. He immediately gets 12 [Points of Glory icon].

Then, he moves the Dice Tower and decides to move it on the Hera Island on the edge of the game board. Now, to complete a Heroic Feat there, the other players will have to defeat the Dice Tower first.

Afterward, Paul doesn't have the required resources to complete one of the Heroic Feats of the island anymore. However, he leaves his pawn on the previously locked Athena Island portal. His action is finished and this ends his turn.
