Getting Started

Your first IMMEDIATE card

YOU HAVE DRAWN YOUR FIRST "IMMEDIATE" (SOFORT) CARD.

1. Read it and carry it out in full. At the end of the card you will be faced with a choice.
2. During your adventure you do not need to take notes or look for hidden elements on the cards. Simply follow the instructions and follow the story.
3. After you have together chosen one of the options listed below, turn this card face down again and place it on the pile, so that the next cards are covered.

Choose one of the two options:

• READ THE GAME RULES, or
• BEGIN THE ADVENTURE (if you already know the rules)

Option "Read the game rules": DRAW CARD 2.

Option "Begin the adventure": DRAW CARD 3.

Your first OBJECT card

YOU HAVE DRAWN YOUR FIRST "OBJECT" CARD.

1. Lay it out in front of you where everyone can see it.
2. Objects can be useful during the game. You may look at them at any time.
3. The cards are printed on both sides!
4. On the front of the card, the number is in a coloured circle; on the back, it is in a black square: [black square symbol].

ATTENTION: Only turn cards over when you are explicitly instructed to do so.

BEGIN THE ADVENTURE BY DRAWING CARD 3.

NOTE: If you draw an IMMEDIATE card [lightning symbol], you must carry it out fully and immediately before continuing. Leave the IMMEDIATE card [lightning symbol] on the table, unless you are instructed to discard it.

NOTE: If you have to replace a card, discard it (onto a discard pile) and place the new card in the same position.

Translator's note: the text layer of this page also contains a stray French fragment ("aux emplacements indiqués par") with no visible counterpart on the printed page. It is omitted here.

Your first MAP card

YOU HAVE DRAWN YOUR FIRST "MAP" (LANDKARTE) CARD [map symbol].

1. Place it in the middle of the table.
2. Draw and read the cards whose numbers are shown around the compass [compass symbol].
3. Place these cards in the specified positions around the MAP card.

NOW VARIOUS ACTION CARDS [gear symbol] ARE TO BE SEEN.

Choose one of the available ACTIONS [gear symbol] and follow its instructions exactly. Then decide on another visible ACTION [gear symbol].

Now you know the four card types: ACTION [gear symbol], MAP [map symbol], IMMEDIATE [lightning symbol], OBJECT [hand symbol].

The lock and key symbols help you pack the game away again.

NOTE: If an instruction says to turn over a MAP card [map symbol], do not remove the cards lying around it.
