How to use: First, set up the game board with all the components included in the bundle. For 1 - 4 players, each player picks a mercenary character with unique skills. In each round, visit the new locations on the board. Choose an adventurer to rest and earn coins. Use these coins to buy items from the Merchant board. The items will help your party defend the camp from the new creatures trying to enter. If you have the Outriders Expansion, you can use the new creatures and the Rider - ability mechanic. When a Rider - ability creature is adjacent to a certain type of creature, snap them together to create a more powerful one. Notice that the cloth play mat is not part of this pledge, and paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated. Maintenance advice: Keep the game components in a dry and cool place. After each use, put all the cards, pieces, and boards back in the box neatly to avoid losing or damaging them. If you have any problems or questions while playing, don't hesitate to contact The Game Steward.
