Movement

Monster Mvmt
-monsters, if on the board, move at the beginning of every round
-they only move 1 space per round
- roll the d6, monsters move via the corresponding path on the die

- if the space they are on does not have the rune that the player has rolled, the monster does not move

Player movement
-is dictated via a speed stat on card
-not limited in where they can move. Players can move to any space as long as they are connected by a pathway
- players do not have to move the full amount their stat says
-players can pass through spaces with monsters in them without fighting them
-if a player ends their movement on the same space as a monster, they must engage the monster in combat

Engaging a Monster
-to subdue a monster and send it back to its cage, players must engage them in combat
- the player must have a higher total strength than the monster.  In the event of a tie, nothing happens and both player and monster remain on the space
-to determine whether they win players roll a die. Add the die roll to their stats and equipment cards (if applicable)
- roll a die also for the monster and add it to his strength.
-if the player's total is higher than the monster's total, they win
-to determine what the monster gets, roll a die and add that to their stats.
-you may team up against a monster (see teaming up against a monster)
-defeated monster cards are discarded

Teaming up Against a Monster
- players may team up against a monster as long as they are all on the same space
- players choose which player will actually fight against the monster. for each additional player on the space, the fighting player gets 1 additional die roll
- if that player fails, they are knocked unconscious and another player must engage the monster
- players who do not actually fight may also choose to lead tourists their way after they successfully beat the monster


Losing a Monster Encounter
-if all the players in the space with a monster lose combat, they are sent back to the parking lot and must skip their next turn
-if they have equipment cards, they must return all but one of them to the equipment deck.

Leading Tourists
-if player is on a space that has a path to the space tourists are on, the player may attempt to lead the tourists toward them.
-2 points are needed to lure 1 tourist away.  thus to lead 6 tourists away the player needs a total of 12 points
- roll a d6. add the roll to the charisma stat and equipment

Taunting Monsters
- players may also taunt monsters and lead the monster towards them much like they lead tourists
-they must be on a space that has a pathway that connects to a space the monster is on
-a monster's strength is representative of how resistant they are to being lured
-to determine if you succeed, players roll a d6 and add that roll to their charisma stat. monsters roll a d6 and add that to their strength. If the player’s roll is higher, the monster moves over to the same space as them.  An equal or lower roll results in the monster staying in the space they are in



        

Monsters Eating Tourists
- monsters eat tourists every round
-if a player is on the same space as a monster and tourist, then the monster does not eat the tourists and instead engages in combat with the player
-how many tourists they eat each round is determined by their appetite stat on the card

Obtaining Equipment Cards
-players can obtain equipment cards in 2 ways
-players can sacrifice 1 tourist to get an equipment card
-or they can obtain it by saving a group of tourists. for every group saved, the player can draw 1 equipment card.
-if players have teamed up to save a group of tourists, all of the players get 1 equipment card
-only 3 cards per player and only 2 can be used against a monster at the same time.
-players may trade equipment cards as long as they are on the same space
