New Rules

Dryads

The Dryad monster group adds an additional Monster rank at the back of the Hall when a dryad enters the Hall. Thus you will have 4 ranks of monsters, or even 5 or 6. Each rank beyond Rank 3 has one additional Light Penalty; i.e., the light penalty is equal to the card's rank.

If there are dryads in the Hall at the start of the game, add additional ranks to the Hall per the dryad's text.

When a dryad leaves the Hall, move the Monsters forward as usual, but do not refill the empty rank; collapse the Hall down one rank instead.

Heart of Doom

Doom is an entity so unimaginably powerful that mere mortals cannot hope to destroy it. Instead, the best that can be hoped for is banishment, casting it out of the world never to return.

When the Rite of Banishing setting is selected, shuffle up to seven different Thunderstones into the Dungeon Deck with the Monsters and Dungeon Features. Place the Heart of Doom at the very bottom of the deck.

If a monster in front of a Thunderstone is defeated, then the player that defeated that Monster claims it, but the game does not end. If two Thunderstones are adjacent to each other in the Hall, only one of them is claimed by defeating the monster in front of the first stone.

If a Thunderstone breaches, place it at the bottom of the deck.

The game does not end until the Heart of Doom is defeated or reaches Rank 1. If the Heart of Doom is attacked but not defeated, the attacking player loses the game.

Card Glossary

Darkspawn – These creatures replace the normal light penalties with the penalties listed in their text.

Ritual of Cleansing – If there are fewer than five cards in the deck, shuffle the discarded cards. If there are still fewer than five, reveal all of the cards remaining.

Sorcerer's Emerald – You may level up a Militia to a level 1 Hero in this manner.

Village Cutpurse – Yes, this is a village card. Build the village stack with the level 1 cards on top and the level 2 on the bottom. You can only buy off the top, but you can also level these cards up just like heroes.
