Aim of the game

Building the game
Before you start playing, build the sections of the board using the building instructions. Then put the sections together to match the Mission Map on the poster. Add the monsters and items in the right places.
Build the LEGO Dice using the tiles shown in the booklet.
Starting with the youngest player, each player chooses a Hero and takes the matching Hero Pack with 4 Health on it. Place your Hero on the Mission Start.
LEGO tilt: The best way to pick up a LEGO piece is by tilting it before you lift it.
Playing the game
The youngest player goes first. Play then continues clockwise.
Moving heroes
On your turn roll the LEGO Dice and move your Hero up to the number of spaces rolled.
-
Heroica Shield: Move up to 4 spaces OR use your Hero's Ranged skill.
-
Three: Move up to 3 spaces.
-
Two: Move up to 2 spaces.
-
One: Move 1 space.
-
If you end your move in a space occupied by another Hero, move your Hero forward to the first available space.
-
Pick up any items in spaces you move into or through and put them on your Hero Pack.
-
If you move into a space adjacent to a monster, you MUST end your move in that space and fight the monster.
You may not move diagonally.
Fighting monsters
If you fight a monster, roll the LEGO Dice again to find out what happens.
-
Heroica Shield: Defeat the monster OR use your Hero's Melee skill.
-
Sword: Defeat the monster.
-
Skull: Lose Health equal to the monster's strength AND move back 1 space away from the monster.
-
Sword & Skull: Defeat the monster AND lose Health equal to the monster's strength AND move back 1 space away from the monster.
-
If you defeat the monster, take it off the board and put it on your Hero Pack.
-
If you are adjacent to two or more monsters at the same time, choose which one to fight first. If you win, immediately fight the next monster.
You may not fight diagonally.
Heroes
Your Hero has a special Ranged or Melee skill that you may use if you roll "Shield".
- Barbarian — Melee: Defeat ALL adjacent monsters and move 1 space.
- Wizard — Ranged: Defeat a monster up to 4 spaces away, even around corners.
Monsters
Monsters have different strengths.
- Goblin Warrior: Strength 1
- Goblin General: Strength 3
Health
If you lose ALL your Health, you are temporarily defeated and must spend one or more turns healing. On your turn roll the LEGO Dice and restore Health up to the number you rolled. If you roll "Shield", restore your full Health. Roll once on each turn until you have restored your full Health. Then roll and move your Hero on your next turn.
You may not heal in this way unless you have lost ALL your Health.
Life Potion
You may use the Life Potion at any time during your turn to restore 2 Health. The Potion may only be used once. After you use it, put it back in the box.
Winning the game
The first player to defeat the Goblin General wins the game.
Keep items and defeated monsters on your Hero Pack.
Changing the game
Try building your own missions, thinking up exciting stories about the adventures of your Heroes, or even changing the rules! The secret to changing a game is to only change one thing at a time. Collect and combine Heroica sets to build bigger and more detailed missions — with more Heroes to play, more monsters to fight, and more of the amazing world of Heroica to explore!
Crystal of Deflection
Place the Crystal of Deflection on the Goblin General's head. When the General is defeated for the first time, take the Crystal off the General, but do not remove the General. If you defeat the General for a second time, put both the General and the Crystal on your Hero Pack.
Battle Heroica
In Battle Heroica, one player controls all the monsters. Players take turns as usual, but the Monster Player must play last. The Monster Player wins the game by defeating two Heroes or by defeating the same Hero twice. In a 2-player game, the Hero Player plays two Heroes. On each turn, he or she must choose one of the Heroes to move and then roll the LEGO Dice.
If you are the Monster Player, on your turn, choose one of the monsters to move. Then roll the LEGO Dice and move the monster up to the number of spaces rolled.
- If you roll "Shield", move up to 4 spaces.
- You may not pick up items. If you end your move in a space occupied by another monster or an item, move your monster forward to the first available space.
- If you move into a space adjacent to a Hero, you MUST end your move in that space and fight the Hero.
You may not fight a defeated Hero who is healing.
