The Gift and Labor Decks
Hercules Panhellenios, the demigod son of Zeus, is constantly compelled to prove himself either through a personal challenge or as a form of appeasement to another Greek god. To represent these constant herculean tasks, he begins each game with two special 3-card decks.
To create the GIFT and LABOR decks, shuffle the three GIFT cards together to form the GIFT deck and the three LABOR cards to form the LABOR deck. Then, place both of these decks facedown in your play area.
During the game, while in alter-ego form you may use Hercules's "New Labors of Hercules" action to reveal the top card of the LABOR deck. After a LABOR card enters the victory display while in hero form, you may use Hercules's "Atonement" ability to put the top card of the GIFT deck into play. These cards allow you to draw cards on the turn they enter play, minor permanent bonuses, and a benefit to many of Hercules's hero cards based on how many GIFT cards you have in play.
Alternate Player & Encounter Card Backs
This product contains a variation on the standard player and encounter card backs. These card backs allow players to differentiate these cards from other cards of the same type as the rules for these cards prevent them from entering a deck, a discard pile, or a player's hand.

Hercules / Leadership
Hercules's goal is to complete his "herculean" labors, acquire his gifts, and become nearly unstoppable. Although obtaining all three gifts makes him truly godlike, don't take on more than you can handle. One or two may be all that you need.
Note that the word "find" allows you to search all in- and out-of-play areas except facedown encounter cards, the victory display, and any cards that have been removed from the game. Use this to your advantage to find the perfect minion or side scheme for your situation. For example, the Lernean Hydra is always a potential target for Defeat the Hydra.
