To play Solomon Kane, first set up the game board and place the miniatures as per the instructions. Each player picks a Cardinal Virtue and gets the relevant cards and dice. When it's your turn, use your Virtue's special powers to control Solomon Kane or his allies. Move them around the board, fight enemies, explore locations, and interrogate suspects. Remember, the Darkness, controlled by the AI deck, will try to stop you at every turn. If things get tough, your Virtue can directly intervene on the board. As you play through Acts and Chapters, make choices that affect the story outcome. The game has multiple versions of each Chapter, so you can replay it many times. After each game session, keep your cards and miniatures in a safe place. The miniatures are assembled but unpainted. If you want to paint them, use appropriate model paints. Also, note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign aren't included unless otherwise stated. If you have any questions about the game, feel free to contact The Game Steward.
