Red Guardian (Plutus)
Setup
Place Plutus' standee in the far-left shield of the BROWN circle. Leave the 2 Desks of your color in your play area.
How to Play
Move the standee to an empty shield. Choose an adjacent shield (empty or not), and place one of your Desks right below it. If both of your Desks are already on the board, reuse one of them.
Effect
A player that moves a Soul across another player's Desk (from A to B), must pay 1 Drachma to the owner. No payment is required for moving a Soul into (A) if it stays there; only if it passes over a Desk (to B).
Note: When adjusting the River Phlegethon score, consider that a Desk does not fill any shield (neither A nor B).
Example: As part of her Hell phase, Araceli wants to move the blue Soul.
- If she takes it to (A), no payment is required, as the Soul does not pass over any Desk.
- If she takes it through the shield with the gray Soul to (B), she must pay 1 Drachma to Paco.
- If she takes it to (C), she then has to pay 1 Drachma to Paco and another one to Monica.
Black Guardian (Phlegyas)
Setup
Place Phlegyas' standee in the far-right shield of the BLUE circle. Keep the Bells near the playing area.
How to Play
DO NOT move its standee. Instead, take a Bell. This Bell can be used in the Hell phase of a later turn. You can accumulate more than one Bell.
Effect
At the start of a turn, instead of moving a Soul in the usual way, return a Bell to the reserve to summon the ferryman.
Then, move the standee to an empty shield. Select a Soul standing in that same circle, and place it on any empty shield at the same level. Now, play a regular Hell Phase by moving that Soul to an empty shield in a circle below. This second, regular movement is mandatory: A Soul cannot be moved laterally if it cannot undertake a regular Hell movement immediately afterwards.
Example: Monica pays a Bell and places Phlegyas on an empty shield in the purple Circle. She can now move the yellow Soul to any of the shields marked in green. Now, she needs to move the same Soul during a regular Hell phase, to any green-marked shield.
