Queens & Friends Rules Card
- The Queens' and Best Friend's "end-game ability" cannot be copied by other cards.
- If the requirement for their "end-game ability" is not met, they count as 1 Hero of the faction in the upper-left corner of their card (as they are held captive by their enemies).
- When counting total number of Heroes for resolving ties, they count as 2 Heroes.
Queens and Friend
The three Queens and the Friend share the same end-game structure: each has a base effect and an "At game end" ability that applies only if the card is in a specific party. The "end-game ability" on each card is governed by the Queens & Friends rules card above.

Bonus Heroes
The card sheet shows eight further Hero cards that are not labelled as belonging to this expansion. The BGG description of the expansion says it contains eight bonus Heroes; these eight are the remaining Hero cards on the same sheet, so they are listed here as the expansion's bonus Heroes. Careful Chameleon is also listed as a base-game Hero in the BFF Games rules clarification, so its membership in this expansion is unconfirmed. Treat the list as provisional.

Notes on Symbols
The card text uses faction icons (the shield, mountain, skull and crescent emblems shown in the upper-left corner of each card), a stack icon, a person icon, a square-eye icon, a campfire icon and a hand reference. This source does not include a symbol legend, so the symbols are transcribed here as bracketed descriptions rather than named terms. The rules card above is the only printed rules text in this source.
