To play Vindication, first set up the base game board along with any expansions you want to include. Place all the miniatures, cards, and other components as described in the rulebook. Each player starts the game washed up on the island. On your turn, you can choose to activate a companion, travel to a new location, or interact with a map tile. Remember, many actions need you to use your influence to gain attributes in the heroic attribute alchemy system. For example, you can meditate at a spire to get inspiration, train at a fort for strength, and then combine them to gain courage for a bounty hunt. There are different ways to end the game, and you can win by mastering heroic attributes and regaining honor. When it comes to maintenance, keep the cards in a card protector to prevent damage. Store the miniatures in a safe place to avoid breakage. If you have any parts that get dirty, you can gently clean them with a soft cloth. Also, note that this is a Kickstarter - exclusive bundle, and paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless specifically stated.
