Objective

If the Heroes eliminate all enemies before 7 tokens are placed, the Heroes win.

Setup

The game starts with the Heroes’ turn. The Heroes start in the areas marked .

After setup, each Hero moves 0 gems from their Reserve zone to their Fatigue zone.

Asset Deck

Chests require a complex Manipulation with a difficulty of 2 to open. The asset deck contains: Spellbook (Lightning Storm), Life Potion x2, Rope. If the Heroes already have the Rope in their Cache, replace it with an Empty Chest.

Special Rules

Game Board Rules: Standard game board rules apply.

Doors: The balcony door requires a complex Manipulation with a difficulty of 3 or Wall Wrecker to open. The door with the red border requires a simple Manipulation by a Hero with the Key. Overlord units will not move if there is a door between them and their Target Hero, except for the Soulless, who will move to the door and wait for a Hero to open it.

Crumbled Pillars: Any area adjacent to a pillar with a token costs 2 extra movement points to enter. A Hero with Climb, the Whip, or the Rope spends only 1 extra movement point. Overlord units are not affected by the Crumbled Pillars.

The Soulless: When a Xotalanc Hunter or Tecuhltli Swordsman is killed, remove their miniature from the board and place a Soulless miniature in the Hidden Chamber. The Soulless cannot open doors.

Relentless: If a tile is activated and the activation would be wasted, activate all the Soulless instead. If there are no Soulless to activate, place 1 Soulless in the Hidden Chamber.

Tolkemec: Tolkemec cannot be wounded except by a Hero using the Black Stone on him while he is captured (see Grab Him! and F*ck Your Sorcery!). When Tolkemec is killed, place the Jade Wand in his area.

Grab Him!: A Hero in the same area as Tolkemec with the Whip or Rope can perform a complex Manipulation with a difficulty of 1 to capture Tolkemec. He remains captured until the start of the next Overlord’s turn.

F*ck Your Sorcery!: A Hero with the Black Stone in the same area as a captured Tolkemec can attack him using Manipulation instead of a Melee Attack. The Black Stone provides no additional dice.

Silence the Howling: A Hero in the Hidden Chamber may remove the Black Stone from the game with a simple Manipulation. Once it is removed, Overlord units no longer reinforce and the Soulless are no longer added.

Hidden Chamber: The Hidden Chamber’s opening connects to the stairs in the bottom right area of the Xuchotl game- board as though it were a border WITH line of sight.
