Replace the Dominance track from Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game with any of these Dominance tracks, depending on your desired difficulty level. The Lord Ruler's deck of Adversaries and Edicts does not change.
Optional 3-4 Player Co-op Rules
For easier play when playing with 3-4 players, the following rules can be used:
The first time the Lord Ruler's deck empties, shuffle it and go through it again. The game is lost after the second time the Lord Ruler's deck is emptied and a card would need to be drawn.
Whenever a player heals any amount of health, they may divide that health gain between themselves and the other players in any way they wish.
During Setup, all players place their training cube on the third space of their track. On their first turn, they move onto their second [flame-in-circle symbol] space.
Reading the Dominance Tracks
Transcriber's note on layout. Each track is printed as a front side, which ends with "Flip this card and reveal the top row of the reverse side", and a reverse side. Read each side top to bottom. The X printed beside a row is that row's Dominance value; a row with no printed X carries no value of its own. The base rulebook's Dominance section says X is the highest Dominance value showing, so the last printed X above a row is the one that applies there. The red crossed-blades symbol that the sheet prints after numbers is rendered as "damage"; the sheet uses the same symbol in "Additional Dominance does 10 to each player", so it is damage to players. The flame-in-circle symbol in the Co-op rules is kept as a bracketed placeholder because the sheet does not name it.
