Special Setup

Buddyland Location

There are no special setup rules for this Location.

Billy the Bear Killer

Before revealing the Setup card, place 4 Power Source tokens on their Active side, in four separate spaces so that no Power Source token is in a space adjacent to any other Power Source token. Set aside the 5th Power Source token as it may come into play later.
Take the two types of Bloodlust Track tokens (the purple token and the blue token) and shuffle them face down by type (with only the backs showing).
Place 6 Bloodlust Track tokens face down on the Killer board (in Bloodlust track spaces corresponding to their color and icon). The remaining Bloodlust Track tokens (1 of each type) will not be used and should not be revealed.
Shuffle the five Buddy cards face down to form the Buddy deck.
Set aside the two Special Buddy cards. They may come into play later and follow the same rules as other Buddies once they are in play.
Spawn a Buddy (see rules on Spawning a Buddy below).

Special Rules

Arcade

The 4 spaces in the middle of the Location board marked with the Arcade icon are Arcade spaces (some card effects will refer to these spaces).

Bloodlust Track Tokens

When Bloodlust increases to a level with a Bloodlust Track token, reveal the token and apply its effects.

Power Source Tokens

When Deactivating a Power Source, flip the token to the Inactive side. You may Deactivate a Power Source by spending an hourglass icon while in the same space as the token, even if you are just moving through the space. If an Inactive Power Source is ever Activated, flip it back to the Active side.

The Active side of a Power Source token shows a green battery with a plus sign. The Inactive side shows a red battery with a slash through it.

Resolving

When you see the green battery icon, Billy recovers one Health as long as at least one of the Power Sources is Active. Ignore this effect if none are Active.

Billy's Buddies

Buddies are Minions and follow normal Minion rules (familiarize yourself with the Minion rules on pg. 32 of the Core Rulebook).

Each Buddy card represents an animatronic with their own Health, Attack Value, and Movement Value.

Spawning a Buddy

When an effect says to "Spawn a Buddy", reveal the top card of the Buddy deck. Place the card in the play area and place the indicated number of Health markers on top of the Buddy card. Place the Buddy's token in any space adjacent to Billy, choosing a space that does not already have a Buddy if possible.

Note! If Billy is no longer in play the effect is ignored (no Buddy spawns).

Activating Buddies

Each Buddy card has an Initiative number found in the circle in the top right corner of the card. When resolving Minion Actions and/or Terror card effects, resolve them in the order of the Initiative number from lowest to highest.

Note! If a Buddy spawns during the Killer phase, it will not activate until the NEXT Killer phase.

Killing Buddies

When a Buddy is killed, remove the Buddy's token from the board. Take the Kill Reward indicated on the Buddy's card and then remove the card from the game. If a Buddy is killed in a phase other than the Action phase, take the reward at the beginning of the next Action phase.

Attacking Billy

IMPORTANT! Buddies will protect Billy at all costs. This means that Billy cannot be attacked while there is a Buddy in his space.
