Peril events will force you to Banish a card (discard it from the game) from the Recruit area when they pass a Peril Space.

These are generally bad and often have “When Flipped” effects that resolve immediately.Some cards will be Liberty events (with the bell) or Peril events (with the gun): As they move through the Event Line, Liberty events will, when passing a Liberty Space, move the Liberty Tracker one space towards Tyranny. Like recruits, however, only push cards if you need to.

Add an Event. Flip the top card of the event and advance cards in the Event line to the right, filling gaps as necessary.

If the Recruit deck runs out of cards, don’t do this step for the rest of the game. If there are too many cards, the rightmost card will be moved to the garbage (and will not return, so be careful about that).

Add a Recruit. You’ll skip this step on turn 1 of the game, but other than that, every turn you flip the top card of the Recruit deck and, if it’s a Witch (not a Blessing), slide adjacent cards in the Recruit row one space to the right.

So, this game plays much like your standard Dominion / Paperback / Flip City deckbuilders. Once you’ve done that you’re all ready to start! Shuffle it and place it face-down on the space.Ĭhoose a player to take the first turn, then have each player shuffle their deck and draw five cards (six if you’re playing a solo game). Either way, you’ll want five of each set of events for a total of 40 events. Depending on your desired difficulty level, you’ll want to use all of the Easy, a mix of Easy and Hard, or all of the Hard cards. The Hard cards have the blood spatter on them. There are eight different types of Events, and within those types, Easy cards and Hard cards:

You’ll want to grab Objective markers of the same type (and number) pictured on the cards: Now, shuffle the four sets of Objective cards and reveal one of each set:Īdd those to the four Objective spaces on the board. Split the remaining cards into three piles and shuffle one of the Blessings into each pile, then re-stack them, Pandemic-style. Shuffle the Recruit deck:Īnd place three cards face up on the Recruit spaces on the board. Place the Moon Tracker and the Liberty Tracker on their respective start spaces:

So the nice thing about this game is that it’s got a big board:
