Set U/ the Bo"rd

MK D+neons* Pyr".,d can be played using a map or tiles as the board. 1ach

starter set contains a two2sided map3 tiles are included in other D+neons products.

If you are using tiles for your board, go to p. ( for set2up rules.

Ste/ 1* Choose Yo+r 'eroes 1ach player in a game ofM"e Kn,ht D+neons* Pyr".,d

creates a Heroic Team. " standard Heroic Team consists of a

group of Heroes whose total point value does not e-ceed )++

points. 4se the point value printed on the sticker attached to each figure!s base to choose

the Heroes for your Team.

Heroes can begin the game at 5evel ) or 5evel #.

Heroes are uni6ue. " Heroic Team can include only one of any Hero.

If you are playing with only one Hero per player, use the rules for the 5one 7olf game

on p. #).

Starting Player 1ach player rolls two dice to determine who plays first. The person with the highest die result is called the

starting player and plays first. 8lay proceeds to the left.

MK D+neons* Pyr".,d contains two types of warriors: Heroes and $age 'pawn. You use your Heroes to

e-plore the dungeon and find the treasure. $age 'pawn are the monsters you must defeat to carry away the

gold. 1ach warrior is composed of three parts: the miniature figure, the base and the combat dial.

2

The Combat Dial

The combat dial is the rotating dial under each figure!s base. 1ach warrior!s combat dial shows a set of

numbers that tell you how good that warrior is at doing certain things. 7hen you turn the dial clockwise, you

reveal a new set of numbers.

Combat Values

1ach warrior has five combat values: speed, attack, defense, damage and range. The combat value symbol is

printed on the base3 the value is printed on the combat dial and shows through the slot. The combat value for

range is printed on the base.

Special Abilities

/olored s6uares and circles on a warrior!s combat

dial indicate special abilities associated with each

combat value. 9escriptions of the special abilities

appear on the M"e Kn,ht D+neons 'pecial "bility/ard.

$ost Heroes begin the game at 1-perience

5evel ) and can gain up to ( more levels of e-perience. 4se

a level counter to show your Hero!s e-perience level. The

sticker on the bottom of a Hero!s base shows that Hero!s

point value for each level.

Ste/ #* L"y O+t the D+neonUsing the Map

4nfold the map and lay it out on the table or floor, or wherever you are playing. 9ashed lines indicate the

edges of the tiles on each map. 1ach map is divided into tiles, which represent hallways or chambers. The tiles

are divided into s6uares, which determine location and define movement.

Using the Dungeon Tiles

If you are using the tiles, then creating the dungeon is part of the game. The maps and tiles use the same

terminology3 s6uares for movement and icons to distinguish types of terrain or obstacles. The maps were created

using the tiles. Hall2way tiles are * s6uares by s6uares3 the chamber tiles are s6uares by s6uares. To create

the dungeon, each player chooses five D+neons tiles, including a minimum of three chambers and one hallway.

'et aside the remaining tiles. If your Heroic Team is larger than )++ points, each player places an additional tilefor every additional + points in their team, rounding up to the nearest +. ;or e-ample, in a #++2point

D+neons game, each player would place < tiles. The starting player

places a chamber tile in the center of the playing surface. This is the

central chamber of the dungeon. =e-t, the player to the left places a

tile according to the following criteria:

You must be able to draw a continuous path of playable

s6uares from the new tile to the central chamber. The last tile each player places must be a hallway tile.

8lace this tile so that it creates an entrance to the dungeon.

This tile must connect to only a single chamber.


3/20

Tiles That Don’t Fit

If you have a tile in which neither side fits the current dungeon formation >according to the above criteria?,

set aside that tile and randomly choose another tile from the ones left over in the initial selection. If there are no

tiles left to select or no tiles fit the dungeon formation, then you are finished placing tiles. "ll players must then

place their hallway tiles.

Dead Ends

$ost tiles have multiple entryways. 1ntryways that end in walls or with @open ends to nothing are considered

dead ends. "ll these paths are considered to end in blocking terrain at the edge of the tile.

Terrain

'ome s6uares contain an illustration or color that identifies that s6uare as special terrain or a terrain feature.

" figure cannot move through a blocking terrain wall using normal movement or any special ability.

Ste/ 2* P0"ce S/ec,"0 &err",n "nd Doors The MK D+neons Pre.,er Bo3 provides four different terrain markers and four doors. 8layers should agree

on the terrain and doors to be used before beginning play, and use those pieces to create a pool from which each

player draws a single piece. 1ach player then places terrain or doors, beginning with the starting player. 'pecial

terrain and doors cannot be placed in any player!s starting hallway tile or connected chamber tile. Terrain

$arkers ne side of the terrain markers corresponds to standard hindering and water terrain. The other side

represents uni6ue terrain features: shadowed terrain, the vorte-, the teleporting chamber and staircases. The

terrain on the marker replaces the terrain on the map or tile.

&err",n M"r4ers

ne side of the terrain markers corresponds to standard hindering and water terrain. The other side

represents uni6ue terrain features: shadowed terrain, the vorte-, the teleporting chamber and staircases. Theterrain on the marker replaces the terrain on the map or tile.

Two s6uares have a )At indication, Teleport and Borte-. 4se of a teleport or vorte- movement is optional. To

teleport, it costs ) speed point to enter the s6uare. This movement ends the character!s activation. n the

%

ne-t turn, the character is placed on another open Teleport s6uare. " character cannot teleport to an occupied

teleport s6uare. Teleporting uses all the character!s speed points.

The Borte- s6uare costs ) point to enter. This movement ends the character!s activation. n the character!s

ne-t turn, the player rotates the tile C+ degrees in either direction. 'pinning the tile uses all the character!s

speed points. The staircase can be used to move between levels of a dungeon and is best suited for campaign

games.

Doors

There are two types of doors: wooden and iron. nce

opened, wooden doors remain open. Iron doors swing closed

after each use.

7hen placing

wooden door has a defense value of )+ and an iron door has a defense value of ).

The only way to open a door with a ranged attack is to use the following special abilities: $agic Dlast,

;lameA5ightning, or 'hockwave. ;lameA 5ightning and 'hockwave affect other Heroes and $age 'pawn per

their special abilities descriptions. " door opened using an attack can never be closed.

Ste/ * P0"ce &re"s+re ChestsDefore the game, set the trap dials >the top visible dial? on the treasure chests to the blank position.

1ach player must place at least a number of treasure chests e6ual to the number of Heroes or figures in his

Heroic Team into a Treasure /hest 8ool. The starting player takes one treasure chest from the pool, spins the

treasure dial >the lower, hidden dial? and places it in a tile at least two tiles from any entrance.

"ll treasure chests have a front arc, which corresponds to the s6uare directly in front of the chest and one

adEacent s6uare on either side of that s6uare. Treasure chests must be placed in such a way that a figure can

enter the front arc.

The opponent then takes a treasure chest from the pool, spins the treasure dial and places the chest in any

other tile at least two tiles from any possible entrance. You can place only one treasure chest in each tile.

1ach player may place only two treasure chests, as long as there are spots for them. 9epending on how they

are built, some dungeons may not allow many chests. nce all the tiles that can have treasure chests are filled,

no more are allowed, regardless of how many treasure chests were placed.

8layers may agree to increase or decrease the

number of treasure chests placed in the

dungeon. "dding more treasure chests may

make the game take longer to play.

The Treasure Chest

1ach treasure chest consists of two parts: the trap >located in the lid? and the

treasure >located in the chest?.

The Trap

The trap dial is a tumbler containing si- positions of information. ;ive positionsare traps, and the starting position is blank. The numbers on the dial represent

various powers of the trap.

The Treasure

The treasure inside the chest also appears on a tumbler.

There are si- positions of treasure. Treasures give

individual figures new powers through magic items, gold, or both.

Ste/ %* P0"ce 6"nder,n Monster &o4ens 7andering monster tokens have three levels: 7eak >printed in yellow?, 'tandard

>printed in blue? and Tough >printed in red?. ;or each color token there are two different tables.

To create a wandering monster pool, each player contributes # 'tandard tokens and ( 7eak tokens

face down to the pool. The monsters generated by the Tough tokens can easily defeat low2level Heroes, so use

Tough tokens only if you want a more difficult challenge. If using the Tough tokens, replace one 7eak token

with the Tough token. 1ach player places a ma-imum of * wandering monster tokens.

The starting player chooses a wandering monster token at random

from the pool and places it in a tile containing a treasure chest. The

opponent then chooses a token and places it according to

the following criteria.

" wandering monster token cannot be placed in the

same s6uare as a treasure, but it may be placed in

the same tile.

nly one wandering monster token may be placed on each tile. However, if a tile contains a

treasure chest, two wandering monster tokens can be placed on that tile.

• 7andering monster tokens cannot be placed on an entrance

tile or any tile adEacent to an entrance tile.

Defore the game begins, players may agree to increase or

decrease the number of wandering monster tokens placed in the

dungeon. "dding more wandering monster tokens may make the

game take longer to play.

Ste/ 5* Cre"te the M"e S/"8n Poo0 "ll players contribute to the $age 'pawn 8ool, which supplies all monsters that appear when Heroes

encounter wandering monster tokens or when a trap is sprung.

1ach player must contribute a minimum number of $age 'pawn e6ual to the number of figures in their Heroic

Team. The minimum total point value of $age 'pawn contributed to the pool must be )++ points. You can

contribute as many $age 'pawn as you want3 the more monsters, the merrier.

'ome $age 'pawn appear in three versions, 7eak, 'tandard and Tough. 1ach version is indicated in two

ways:

The highlight color should match the number of stars on the base. If a $age 'pawn has no stars on its base,

then it is a uni6ue figure. 1ach version of each $age 'pawn has its own collector!s number.

Ste/ 7* Choose Entr"nce "nd E3,t The starting player chooses a hallway tile entrance for his Heroic

Team and places a colored arrow on the opening to the dungeon at

that location. The opposing player chooses the remaining arrow of

the same color and chooses the e-it for the first player!s team. "ny

s6uare that opens to the e-terior of the dungeon can serve as ane-it3 the e-it does not need to be on a hallway tile. The opposing

player then chooses the entrance for his Team, and the starting

player chooses the e-it. =o player may place their entrance in the

same tile as another player.

If you are only using one set of si- tiles, designate the other

player!s entrance as the opposing player!s e-it. This change makes

for better dungeon construction.

P0"y the G".eDuring your turn, you can move your Hero through the dungeon

to gather treasure, and you can move Mage Spawn around to

stop your opponent’s Hero from gathering treasure. The following rules

tell you how to move and fight, and how to gather treasure.

mportant &ame Concepts The following game concepts are used in $age %night 9ungeons: 8yramid.

Friendly and 'pposing Figures

;riendly figures are characters that you control. pposing figures are any characters controlled by an

opponent. $age 'pawn are considered opposing figures to both players and are considered friendly figures only

to other $age 'pawn.

Ad(acent S)uares "dEacent s6uares are s6uares on the map that are touching one center

s6uare, including s6uares on the diagonal. This means most s6uares have

eight adEacent s6uares. /haracters occupying adEacent s6uares are considered

adEacent to one another. /haracters on opposite sides of blocking terrain are

not considered adEacent.

Special Abilities

The colored s6uares on each figure!s combat dial are associated with

specific values on the stat slot and represent your character!s special abilities.

'pecial abilities come and go as warriors take clicks of damage and healing. 9escriptions of all special abilities

appear on the $% 9ungeons: 8yramid 'pecial "bility /ard. 'pecial abilities are in effect as long as they appear

in the stat slot. If a special ability is described as optional, it is assumed that the warrior is using that power

unless the player controlling that warrior states that the power is being canceled. The owning player may cancel

the effect at any time, in which case it is canceled until the end of the current turn. "t the beginning of the

ne-t turn, it is assumed to be in effect again.

8layers familiar with $age %night Febellion or $age %night 4nlimited

should review the $age %night 9ungeons: 8yramid 'pecial "bility /ard before beginning to play. 1ven though

the names of the special abilities are the same, some special abilities work in a different way.

Acti*ations1ach player receives a number of activations per turn e6ual to the number of Heroes with which they begin the

game. If you are playing with only one Hero, you receive # activations.

" Hero, $age 'pawn, or wandering monster token can only be activated once per turn. You can perform the

following activations in any order.

"ctivate " Hero: "n activated Hero may move through the dungeon, fight and open treasure

chests. The Hero!s activation ends immediately after a combat or according to the use of a special

ability. " Hero may make an attack only once per activation.

"ctivate " $age 'pawn $onster: "n activated $age 'pawn may fight and move through the

dungeon. The $age 'pawn!s activation ends immediately after a combat or according to the use of a

:

special ability+ " $age 'pawn may make an attack only once per activation. " player may not activate

a $age 'pawn on the same tile or room as a Hero they control.

$ove 7andering $onster Token: 7andering monster tokens have ( 'peed 8oints.

8assA=o "ction: " player can declare a pass action for a specific figure or the player can Eust forfeit

the remaining activations and end his turn.

The player does not lose an activation when a Hero is eliminated. ;or e-ample, if the player begins the game

with four Heroes, he has ( activations per turn. If one Hero is eliminated, the player still has ( activations per

turn.

First Turn Mo*ement

" player must move his Heroes into the dungeon on the first turn. Heroes can then encounter and fight $age

'pawn, encounter wandering monster tokens, or attempt to disarm treasure, if they have the re6uired speed

points. 8layers may not move wandering monster tokens or activate $age 'pawn until their entire Heroic Team

has entered the dungeon. The Guickness special ability cannot be used on the first turn.

Action Costs 7hen you activate a Hero or $age 'pawn, it may take a variety of actions. 1ach action costs speed points. "

warrior!s total speed points is e6ual to the speed value on the figure!s combat dial. The cost for various actions

appears in the sections describing those actions. 4nused speed points are lost at the end of activation. They do

not carry over to the ne-t turn.

Mo*ement

It costs ) speed point to move from s6uare to s6uare. "

s6uare with a number printed on it costs that many speed

points to enter.

To move diagonally, add ) to the base speed point cost

for that s6uare. You may move diagonally between walls if

they are not linked together.

" character cannot move into a s6uare marked with an

, unless allowed by a special ability. To enter the

dungeon, you must spend the speed points indicated on the

entrance s6uare.

1-iting the dungeon costs ) speed point.

Free Spin

7henever a Hero or $age 'pawn ends its movement

ne-t to or is placed ne-t to an opposing figure, the opposing

figure gets a free spin opportunity. The player controllingthe figure may immediately turn the figure within its s6uare

to face the opposing figure. " figure may have several free

spin opportunities during a single turn. You may make a free spin on your turn at any time during your figure!s

activation.

,rea-ing A#ay

"ny figure that begins the turn in or moves into the front arc of an opponent must break away before it can

move to another s6uare. Dreaking away means that character must make an effort to get away from an opposing

figure. It costs # speed points It costs # speed points to attempt to break away. " figure may attempt to break

away any number of times per activation, as long as it has enough speed points available to break away and

move to another s6uare. " figure need only roll one successful breakaway to break away from multiple opposing

figures.

In order to break away, the player rolls a si-2sided die. n

a result of ), # or *, the figure does not break away and

must stay in that s6uare. It can perform other actions if it

has the speed points available.

n a roll of (, , or &, the figure breaks away and can

move normally, spending its speed points as needed.

nly one successful breakaway is needed to move past a

figure, even if the character breaking away must move past

the figure over multiple s6uares. nly one roll is necessary

to break away from all adEacent figures and move to a new

s6uare.

You do not need to break away if you are only spinning

and staying in the same s6uare, or if you declare you arepassing through that figure.

" figure can move past an opponent without breaking

away as long as it does not enter the opponent!s front arc.

If a figure makes a free spin that takes an opposing figure

out of its front arc, the opposing figure can move normally

without needing to make a breakaway roll on its ne-t turn.

Passing Through

7arriors can pass through friendly and enemy figures and

treasure chests for a cost of * speed points, plus the cost of

the destination s6uare. There is no additional cost if the figure being moved through is on a hindering or water

s6uare. " warrior can only pass through a figure if that figure is not in a s6uare adEacent to an opposing figure3

there must be an empty s6uare for the warrior to move into.

Two figures cannot end their movement in the same s6uare.

7arriors can pass through multiple friendly units if they have

sufficient speed points.

nce a figure passes through an opposing figure, the opposing

figure gets a free close combat attack at the passing figure

through that character!s rear arc. The passing figure then gets a

counterattack through the front arc.>'ee /lose /ombat

"ttacks, p. )?.

=o breakaway roll is needed to pass through, and the figure

can continue moving even after the attackAcounterattack, if it

has speed points remaining.

Mo*ing Mage Spa#n

" player may assign one or more of their activations to $age 'pawn. 4se the standard speed costs and rules for

activations, with the following e-ceptions.

You cannot activate $age 'pawn occupying the same tile as or a s6uare adEacent to your Hero.

You cannot move $age 'pawn into a tile with or into a s6uare adEacent to your Hero.

$age 'pawn will not attack other $age 'pawn.

$age 'pawn cannot disarm traps, open treasure chests or gather treasure.

You may activate Heroes or $age 'pawn in any order.

6"nder,n Monster &o4ens " player may assign one or more of their

activations to wandering monster tokens.

7andering monster tokens have ( speed

points.

If a wandering monster token enters a tilecontaining any player!s Hero or moves

adEacent to any Hero, the token immediatelyends its activation and is converted into one

or more $age 'pawn. If a Hero enters a tile,

all the tokens in that tile convert to $age

'pawn. If a Hero moves adEacent to a token,

that token converts to $age 'pawn. The

Hero can continue moving if he or she has

speed points left, but only after the $age

'pawn have been placed on the tile.

Con;ert,n &o4ens to M"e S/"8n

To convert wandering monster tokens to $age 'pawn, use the following procedure.

). ;lip the token over to reveal the $age 'pawn table. The table has three columns.

#. The opponent of the player whose figure caused the conversion rolls # si-2sided dice, adds the results and

compares the total to the first column on the table. Fead across the appropriate row to determine the

number and point value of $age 'pawn that will appear.

*. The opponent of the player whose figure caused the conversion places the $age 'pawn according to the

following rules.

/hoose $age 'pawn from the pool of $age 'pawn created at the beginning of the game.

1#


7/20

The player placing the $age 'pawn chooses

the direction it faces when placed.

Feplace the token with the first $age

'pawn. 8lace the second $age 'pawn in a

s6uare adEacent to the first $age 'pawn, the

third $age 'pawn adEacent to the first or

second $age 'pawn, and so on. $age 'pawn

may be placed in s6uares diagonal to each

other. If a $age 'pawn cannot be placed

according to these criteria, it cannot be played

and must be returned to the pool.

If the $age 'pawn pool does not contain a

monster of the point value indicated on the

table, the player must choose the $age 'pawnclosest to the point value without going

e-ceeding that value. ;or e-ample, if the only $age 'pawn remaining have point values of and )+,

and the table indicates one )2point $age 'pawn, the player must choose the )+2point monster. 7hen

placing multiple $age 'pawn, it is more important to place the correct number of $age 'pawn than to

match e-actly the overall point total.

Con*erting Traps to Mage Spa#n

If your attack roll dice result is a @)#, then you have automatically hit the target. This is called a critical hit. If

you were trying to damage the target, then the critical hit delivers ) e-tra click of damage. If your attack is

against multiple ranged2combat targets, this e-tra click of damage will affect all targets hit, for a total of # clicks

of damage to each target.

1ealing and 'ther .epairing Abilities

4sing special abilities such as Healing, $agical Healing or Bampirism, characters can heal clicks on a combat

dial. 7hen healing, click the combat dial counter2clockwise, but stop applying clicks of healing once you reach

the character!s starting position or current level.

If you roll a )# while using the Healing special ability, your attempt to heal automatically succeeds. "dd )

click of healing to the die roll result.

Close Combat Attac-s The warrior making a close combat attack is called the attacker. His target is called the defender. The

defender must be in an adEacent s6uare and in the attacker!s front arc. 7hen a Hero or $age 'pawn attacks

another figure, there is an e-change of blows.

The activated Hero >or $age 'pawn? attacks first, if it has enough speed points remaining. If the figure doesnot have enough speed points left to attack, it cannot attack in this turn.

The player with the activated warrior makes an attack roll and applies any damage that results. "dd ) to the

attack dice roll result if attacking through the target!s rear arc.

Fegardless of whether the attack hit or missed, the defender must make a counterattack ";T1F the damage

from the initial attack has been applied. However, if the defender is demoralized as a result of the attack, the

defender cannot make a counterattack. The counterattack costs no speed points and does not count toward

activation for the figure. " counterattacking figure may use any applicable special abilities during the

counterattack. The counterattack must target the attacker.

.anged Attac-s

" ranged attack is any attack made against any target not in an adEacent s6uare. " character may not make a

ranged attack if an opposing figure occupies a s6uare adEacent to it, or if the target occupies a s6uare adEacent to

a friendly figure.

The warrior making a ranged combat

attack is called the attacker. His target is

called the defender.

1very character has a range valueprinted on its base. This is the ma-imum

number of s6uares that a character!s

ranged attack can reach. If range is +, you

cannot make a ranged attack.

Defore making a ranged combat attack, you must determine if the attacker has a

clear line of fire to the target, and if the

target is within range.

To determine if there is a clear line of

fire, use any straight edge or draw an

imaginary line from the center of the

attacker!s s6uare through any adEacent

front arc s6uare of the attacker to the

center of the defender!s s6uare.

1%

5ine of fire is blocked and the attack cannot be made if the imaginary line passes through any s6uare that

contains a figure other than the attacker or defender or if the line of fire crosses blocking terrain, a closed door,

or a shadowed terrain s6uare. Treasure chests and wandering monster tokens do not block line of fire. You may

check to see if line of fire is blocked prior to declaring the attack. If the attacker has a clear line of fire, then

count the shortest route to the target in s6uares using the imaginary line as a guide. 9o not count the s6uare the

attacker is standing in for determining range. "lso, ignore the diagonal movement or any printed movement

modifier.

If the attacker has a clear line of fire and the target is within range, make an attack roll. If line of fire passes

through, or the target occupies a s6uare that contains hindering terrain >any s6uare printed with a #?, a treasure

chest or a wandering monster token, add ) to the target!s defense against ranged attacks. Fegardless of how

many s6uares of hindering terrain, treasure chests or wandering monster tokens the line of fire passes through,

add only a single J) modifier.

"dd ) to the attack dice roll result if attacking through the target!s rear arc.

If a warrior is attacking multiple targets, use the following rules:

The same figure cannot be targeted more than once in a single attack.

The attacker must have clear line of fire to each target. 4se the rules above to determine line of fire.

The targets must all be within the ma-imum range of the attacker.

$ake an attack roll and compare the result to each target!s defense value.

1ach target hit by the attack takes ) click of damage, regardless of the attacker!s damage value.

The target>s? of a ranged attack can make a counterattack. To counterattack, the target must have a ranged

attack capability, be able to draw a clear line of fire, and be within range of the attacker. The counterattack

must target the attacker. Fegardless of whether the attack hit or missed, the defender must make a

counterattack ";T1F the damage from the initial attack has been applied. However if the defender is

demoralized as a result of the attack, the defender cannot make a counterattack.

Attac-s by 'b(ects

bEects with an attack value and a damage value, such as treasure chests, can attack a warrior. 4se the rules

for close combat attacks3 the opposing player rolls the dice for the attack. "n obEect has only one attack.

9amage from obEects ignores all special abilities. The warrior cannot make a counterattack.

&re"s+re "nd &r"/s

Treasure is what you need to win the game. Treasure is

almost never free. You must deal with the traps, $age 'pawn

and opposing Heroes before you can gain the gold and win the

game. The ma-imum number of treasure chests a player can

possess at any time is e6ual to twice the number of Heroes hecurrently has in the dungeon. =o member of a player!s Heroic

Team can e-it the dungeon until the Team has gathered at

least one treasure chest.

E2posing the Trap

"ll treasures may have traps. Defore the Hero can gather the

treasure, he must face the trap. It costs + speed points to e-pose

a trap, and a Hero can be in any s6uare adEacent to the treasurechest to e-pose the trap. The player e-poses the trap by rolling

) si-2sided die and clicks the trap tumbler clockwise a number of clicks e6ual to the result.

9/20

The trap that appears must be encountered before the Hero can gather the treasure.

If the trap space is blank, the Hero has lucked out and found a trap2less treasureK

If the treasure chest has a trap, it must be disarmed.

Disarming the Trap

The Hero must be standing in the front arc of the chest to disarm the trap and gather the treasure. The Hero

can disarm the trap 6uickly or slowly.

To disarm the trap 6uickly, the Hero spends * speed points and rolls # si-2sided dice, adding the results. If the

total is e6ual to or greater than the disarming number, the trap has been disarmed. If the total is less than the

disarming number, the trap is sprung.

To disarm the trap slowly, the Hero spends & speed points and uses the rules for disarming the trap 6uickly,

adding # to his dice roll result.

/ertain special abilities can affect this action. If the Hero is successful, the chest may be opened without

facing the effect of the trap.

Springing the Trap

If the Hero has failed in his attempt to disarm the trap, the trap has sprung.

;irst, the player!s opponent consults the trap dial to see if numbers appear in the slots under Total $age

'pawn "ppearing and $a-imum $age 'pawn in 8oints. If numbers appear in these slots, place $age 'pawnaccording to the rules for placing $age 'pawn in /onverting Tokens to $age

'pawn, p. )#.

If these slots are blank, then no $age 'pawn appear. The ne-t four slots

indicate the damage the trap can

inflict. The letter in the slot for the

type of attack indicates one of three

types of attack.

"n H in this slot indicates that the

damage is only applied to the Hero

working with the trap. Fesolve this

attack as a close combat attack3 the

player!s opponent makes the attack

dice roll. " T in this slot indicates that

the trap has an area of effect attack

that affects all Heroes and $age 'pawn on the same tile or chamber as

the treasure chest, as if the trap had belched out a cloud of gas. This

attack ignores line of fire.

17

If the Hero is on a different tile than the treasure, this attack affects all figures on both tiles. The player!s

opponent makes the attack dice roll and adds the result to the attack value. /ompare the result to each Hero

and $age 'pawn on the tile>s?. 1ach figure hit takes the damage indicated on the trap.

"n F in this slot means the trap has a ranged attack. The range is

measured through the front arc of the treasure as if darts were

shooting from the chest. The player!s opponent makes the attack

dice roll. 4se all rules for ranged attacks against multiple targets,

e-cept that every figure hit takes the damage indicated on the trap.

Heroes and $age 'pawn can block line of fire, though the Hero

opening the treasure chest never blocks line of fire in a ranged

attack.

"n area2effect >T? or ranged >F? attack from a treasure chest trap

takes effect even if other Heroes or $age 'pawn are standing in

s6uares adEacent to the treasure.

3andering Monster To-ensIf a wandering monster token is located so as to take damage from a

sprung treasure trap, the token is converted. 8lace the $age 'pawn

using the standard rules, then compare each $age 'pawn!s defense

value to the treasure trap!s attack value. If the attack value is higher

than the defense value, the $age 'pawn take the damage indicated.

This damage can eliminate $age 'pawn as they are placed.

&athering the Treasure

nce the trap has been disarmed or sprung, the Hero can open the chest. It costs # speed points to open the

chest and gather the treasure. Treasure chests contain special abilities, gold and magic items.

If a colored circle or s6uare appears in the first three slots, the Hero can gain the corresponding special ability.

Ma2imum Treasure

8layers who have collected their ma-imum allowed number of treasure chests cannot e-pose new traps, disarm

traps, voluntarily abandon treasure, or swap treasure with another player.

Traps$

'ome treasure chests are nothing more than a devious trick. Instead of treasure, it!s another trap. The word

the black circle over the "ttackvalue?, 'weep replaces 7eapon $aster for that turn. " Hero

without a ranged attack cannot use a special ability that would

affect a ranged attack ability3 any other bonus >to speed, attack or defense? can still be used.

If any conflict occurs in special abilities affecting the same action, only one can be used. "ttack and damage

resolution are considered to be two separate elements of the same action, so a special ability that affects the9amage value and one that affects the "ttack value can be used in the same action. ;or e-ample, 7eapon

$aster and Derserk can be used together, but $agic Dlast and $agic ;reeze cannot.

4osing Treasure

7hen a Hero is eliminated before he or she can e-it the dungeon, check to see if the player will e-ceed the

treasure chest limit when the Hero is removed from play. If the limit is e-ceeded, the e-tra treasures are placed

back in the dungeon.

The player shuts all of his treasures and mi-es them up. His opponent randomly chooses as many as needed to

restore the two2treasure2per2Hero ratio. The player whose Hero was eliminated places the first treasure on the

s6uare from which the Hero was eliminated. The second treasure >if applicable? must be placed in the same tile.

"ll treasure chests returned to the dungeon are reset to the blank trap space. 9o not reset the treasure dial.

The ne-t Hero who attempts to gather the treasure must attempt to disarm it according to the 9isarming the

Trap rules, p. )itscombat dial shows all skulls?, that Hero is considered the victor, the eliminated figure is removed from the

dungeon and the victor receives e-perience points for the eliminated figure.

The victor gains e-perience points as follows.

;or $age 'pawn, use the monster!s point value. =ote the point value on a piece of paper, and return

the $age 'pawn to the pool.

#$


11/20

;or Heroes, use the point value of the ma-imum level the Hero

achieved in the game. =ote the point value on a piece of paper, and

return the Hero to the owning player.

'uccessfully disarming a trap earns + e-perience points.

'pringing a trap earns # e-perience points.

If a treasure is trap2less, no e-perience points are gained.

If a figure is eliminated from play by a damage effect from $age 'pawn or a treasure chest or other

obEect, no one is awarded e-perience.

You can improve a Hero by one level for every + e-perience points accumulated. "s soon as you have earned

+ e-perience points, choose a Hero to improve by one level. Turn the Hero!s combat dial clockwise to the ne-tlevel number. ;or e-ample, if the Hero improving a level is a 5evel ) Hero, click the base so that the # in the

green circle shows between the damage and defense values in the stat slot. Improving a level automatically heals

any current damage.

1-perience points must be calculated immediately every time an opponent is eliminated or a trap is

encountered. You should keep a running total3 you can improve a Hero by one level at + e-perience points,

then at )++ e-perience points, then at )+, and so on. "s soon as you reach one of these thresholds, you mustimmediately improve a Hero. If you accumulate enough points to improve multiple levels at once, each level

must be assigned to a different Hero.

If a Hero is at 5evel , each threshold of e-perience points that could improve him by a level effectively heals

the figure back to 5evel .

4se the level counters to track the current level of a figure.

4e*el mpro*ement Mid5Acti*ation

If a Hero improves by a level in the middle of their activation, they may immediately begin using their new

attack, defense and damage values as well as any new special abilities their new level grants them. However,

they must finish their activation using their current speed points.

Ending the &ame$

"s soon as a player gathers treasure, he can maneuver his Hero out of the dungeon through its designated

e-it. " Hero cannot e-it the dungeon until the player has ac6uired at least one treasure chest. The game ends

when there are no longer any Heroes left in the dungeon. nce all the Heroes have left the dungeon or been

eliminated, the players add up their gold.

The player with the highest total of gold successfully carried out of the dungeon wins the game.

If a $age 'pawn has ;renzy and has no movement marker, then this $age 'pawn must be given one of your

activations before you give an activation to any other $age 'pawn, weather it be one of your figures or a $age

'pawn.

To assign an activation to a $age 'pawn with ;renzy, it must be a $age 'pawn that you can give a legal

activation to. ;renzy does not allow you to assign an activation to a $age 'pawn that you would normally not be

able to assign an activation to, like a $age 'pawn adEacent to one of your Heroes or a $age 'pawn in the same

tile as one of your Heroes.

If a $age 'pawn with ;renzy is in an adEacent s6uare to one of your Heroes, or a $age 'pawn with ;renzy is

in the same tile as one of your Heroes, you cannot legally assign an activation to these $age 'pawn. Decause

;renzy re6uires you to give activations to $age 'pawn with ;renzy before any other $age 'pawn, you will be

unable to assign activations to any $age 'pawn until you are in a position to give legal actions to the $age

'pawn with ;renzy.

If there are more figures with ;renzy in play than you have activations, you may choose which figures with

;renzy will be given activations. "ll figures you control and all $age 'pawn with ;renzy that can be assigned

activations must be assigned activations on your turn before you can assign any activations to figures without;renzy.

Magic ,last " $agic Dlast attack can pass through walls, and blocking terrain sections bordered by walls. If a section

bordered by walls is not broken into s6uares, you can still $agic Dlast over them. 1ach 9ungeon tile is based on

a - grid, and each hallway tile is based on a *- grid, and using this pattern determine the range needed for

the $agic Dlast. If using dungeon tiles, then use e-tra tiles to work out the correct range.

Magic Enhancement

" figure with $agic 1nhancement affects the warrior making a ranged combat attack in an adEacent s6uare

with it, not Eust the ranged attack made by that warrior.

Magic mmunity

;igures with $agic Immunity can still use their own $agic Dlast ability and $agic 1nhancement ability

normally. The figure is not being affected by a $agic "bility but instead has these abilities to use.

Magic Freee

$ultiple $agic ;reeze attacks on the same figure do not generate multiple magic freeze tokens. 1ither a figure

is frozen, or it is not, and is marked with a single $agic ;reeze token. 1ven though a figure has been targeted

with multiple successful $agic ;reeze attacks, the figure!s player only needs to remove the effects of $agic

;reeze once.

without having to roll for the figure!s Terrify.

If a figure leaves a s6uare adEacent to a Terrify figure to a s6uare that is non adEacent to the Terrify figure, the

warrior will have to roll for Terrify again if the warrior wants to re2enter a s6uare adEacent to the Terrify figure.

Mo*ement Mar-ers Summon

$age 'pawn retain their movement markers when eliminated. $ovement markers clear from eliminated

$age 'pawn in e-actly the same way they do from $age 'pawn in play. If an eliminated $age 'pawn is

returned to play while it still has an uncleared movement marker on it, it is returned to play with that

movement marker.

Pass Through ,rea-a#ay

" warrior never has to make a breakaway roll from an opposing figure that they are attempting to pass

through. If there are other opposing figures adEacent to the warrior before the pass through, the warrior will have

to make break away rolls for those opposing figures. Femember, no break away roll is needed to pass through,

but a break away roll is needed for moving away from the front arc>s? of other figure>s?.

Pass Through Free Spin

" figure that has Eust made a pass through on an opposing warrior is placed in an adEacent s6uare to that

warrior which gives them a free spin opportunity.

Pass Through Vacancy

You cannot pass through to the same s6uare you start the pass through in. 7hen you declare a pass through

you must designate a target s6uare where you want to move to. This s6uare must be vacant. You cann ot targetthe s6uare that you occupy as it is not vacant. You cannot pass through to the same s6uare you started in.

Special Ability Damaging E!!ects " special ability damaging effect is damage caused by any of the following special abilities: Fam, 8ole "rm, and

$agic Fetaliation. In such cases, the figure inflicts damage without you making an attack roll, and therefore

these attacks are classified as a damaging effect. 'pecial abilities that increase the damage >such as Benom or

$agic 1nhancement, or even 7eapon $aster? are not effects because they all re6uire an attack roll before they

go into effect.

IBSON &'E GREYS 'OUSE RULES

Having played well over ++ games of $%9 and having run over + tournaments, I have developed the

following rules modifications and suggestions designed to make the game more evenly balanced and more fun.

;eel free to try any or all of these.

(lternate Head to Head Map Set1up

'ince some of the 7izkids $aps do not offer the opportunity to properly place all the treasure chests and

$age 'pawn Tokens, we use this alternative method. It offers a much better >and fairer? set2up, especially in

tournaments.

! using dungeon maps" per!orm Step =Choose Entrance and E2it> prior to Step 7= Place TreasureChests> so all chests may be placed on all maps+ Also" in addition to not placing a chest #ithin / tiles o!

your opponent6s entrance" you may not place a chest #ithin @ tiles o! your o#n entrance unless it is the

only legal tile=s> remaining+

(lternate Multi1player Set1up

"gain, to make things fairer in a multiple player game>and I have played in dozens of multi2player games,

ranging from * to O players?, we use the following method to set2up the map>s?. I recommend using at least two

maps in any multi2player game and prefer at least ) map to every # players with an e-tra map thrown in.U

Each player rolls / si2 sided dice to determine order o! play=i+e+ 0st player>" re5rolling any ties+Placement ta-es place as normal =or as abo*e in our alternate method> e2cept that the entrance placed

by each player may not necessarily be the one heBshe uses+ A!ter set5up is completed =all chests" 3MTsand entrancesBe2its are placed>" the players again roll / si2 sided dice =re5rolling ties> to determine in

#hat order #hich entry they #ill choose their entrance+ 3e determine the actual entrances randomlyas #ell but that is up to you+G A!ter all players ha*e determined their entrances" play begins #ith the

!irst player and passes to his le!t =cloc-#ise>+

"s you can see, this levels the advantage the first player would normally have in a multi2player game, which is

usually 6uite considerable.

Mage Spawn "ools

The rules set out a minimum amount of points re6uired for each playerQs contribution to the $age 'pawn pool

and suggest Qthe more, the merrier.Q =ow, I have a huge $age 'pawn collection >well over ++ figures? and it has

become apparent that with that large a collection, almost nobody ever gets out of a dungeon alive. 7ith a large

selection of skeletons and magic blasters, we spent months killing off every hero in both head2to2head and multi2player games. 1very game was decided by found gold or e-perience points... no one got out. Hence, we

developed the follow additional rule for $age 'pawn 8ools. =ow things run as planned, heroes do live and get

out with gold >not all the time but fre6uently, probably the way that was intended?.

Each player must contribute a .,n,.+. number o! Mage Spa#n e)ual to the number o! !igures intheir 1eroic Team+ The minimum total point *alue o! Mage Spa#n contributed to the pool must be

099 points+ Hou can contribute as many Mage Spa#n as you #ant up to a ma2imum o! 7 times the number o! points o! your 1eroic Team" plus one additional Mage Spa#n o! your choice=at any cost>+

This is intended to force some choices into playerQs minds over what $age 'pawn they want to focus on while

still allowing enough choice. " standard game >)++ point teams? allows the player to bring up to (++ points of

$age 'pawn plus any single $age 'pawn of their choice >we usually see that one big uni6ue brought Eust in case

of a big chest trap?. Trust me, with up to O++ points and two uni6ues to choose from for a head to head game,

thereQs more than enough to go around. You donQt need more.

'%andom' #ondering Monster Toens

"nother problem in running tournaments is 7$Ts. 7hoQs is whoQs after a game can give rise to arguments.

'ometimes, players forget to bring them. 7e get around this by using QrandomQ 7$Ts. It was determined that

there were & different Yellow and Dlue tokens and ( different Fed tokens. I simply created a chart listing all of

them together. You can then use anything you want to represent the 7$Ts >pennies, real 7$Ts, etc... we use

custom blank 7$Ts?. 7henever a 7$T is revealed, you roll a d& to determine what color the token is,

another d& to determine which QnumberQ token is revealed and finally #d& as normal to determine how many $'

at how many points.

This also allows you to determine the difficulty of the came in several different ways. I have included the

7$T chart and QrandomQ tokens for your use at the end of this section. ur most common game is the one

where )2* is a yellow token, (2 is a blue and & is a red. 5ots of funK 7atch those bad rollsK

You may also play with QBariableQ $age 'pawn point values. This means you will have to make use of a widervariety of monsters. 9etermine the points re6uired for $age 'pawn normally, roll #d& and add the result to that

number and finally subtract < for the new number of points. This will vary the points away from the standard

multiples of and add variety to the monsters seen.

Monster Master Toen

7hen playing multi2player, we have slightly modified the use of the $onster $aster token as well. 7e

generally limit each player to # 7$TA$age 'pawn activations until the $onster $aster token has made one

complete revolution >i.e. the )st player receives the token the second time?. This is to once again limit the

advantage the first several players have over their opponents in large games.
