Chaos Among the Ranks
Setup
The Heroes start in the areas indicated by the setup diagram.
Heroes:
- Conan the Berserker (Conan's Sword), commands the Bossonian Guards
- Bêlit (Ornamental Spear, Leather Armor, Buckler), commands the Bossonian Guards
- Hadrathus (Spells: Mitra's Halo, Borne by the Wind, Telekinesis, Lightning Storm), commands the Bossonian Guards
After setup, each hero moves 3 gems from their Reserve zone to their Fatigue zone.
The game starts with the Overlord's turn.
The Overlord starts with 0 gems in their Reserve zone and 8 in their Fatigue zone, and places the Recovery token showing a recovery value of 7 in the Book of Skelos.
Reinforcements: The Overlord gains 6 reinforcement points. The Overlord cannot reinforce more than 2 units per reinforcement area, but must use all the points to reinforce Bossonian Archers or Bossonian Guards if their miniatures are available (even though Guards are allied to the Heroes).
The setup sheet shows the Overlord's unit cards for Outer Dark Demon, Skuthus, Spectral Guards, Giant Snake and Bossonian Archers. Beneath the Outer Dark Demon, Skuthus and Giant Snake cards are the numbers 9, 8 and 10. The booklet does not explain these numbers in text, so they are not transcribed as rules.
Winning the Game
- To win, the Heroes must kill Skuthus or rescue 6 Bossonian Guards.
- To win, the Overlord must kill 6 Bossonian Guards with Spectral Guards.
Special Rules
Game Board Rules
Standard game board rules apply.
Spirit Possession
During his activation, Skuthus can spend gems to activate up to 3 Bossonian Guards using the Activating Allies rule. Other Bossonian Guards and Heroes hinder the possessed guard. If a possessed Bossonian Guard jumps from a parapet, he dies instantly and becomes a Spectral Guard if a green base is available. This is the only way to turn a Bossonian Guard into a Spectral Guard. When a Spectral Guard dies, remove the green base. There can be a maximum of 5 units (Skuthus included) with green bases in the game at a time.
Spirit Evasion
At any time during the Overlord's turn, if there is at least 1 Spectral Guard on the board, the Overlord may attach (or remove) an available green base on Skuthus's miniature. While Skuthus has a green base, he gains Spirit Evasion; he cannot suffer damage and does not count towards hindering. If at any point there are no Spectral Guards on the board, Skuthus immediately loses Spirit Evasion.
Conan's Mount
If Conan the Berserker receives any damage from a Ranged Attack, the horse dies while Conan takes no damage. When this happens, replace Conan the Berserker's miniature and Hero sheet with Conan the Destroyer's. Move the gems to the same position of the Hero sheet.
Allies in Conflict
Bossonian Guards and Bossonian Archers cannot attack each other and do not hinder each other.
Bossonian Guards
All 3 Heroes can command the Bossonian Guards as if they had the Leadership skill except Heroes cannot assign gems to perform a Guard action with them. Each Bossonian Guard can be activated by the Heroes once per Action phase and once per Overlord's Activation phase.
Chaos Ensues
During setup, place the [green token] and the [Bossonian Guard token] on space 0 of the Turn track. Every time a Spectral Guard kills a Bossonian Guard, increase the [green token] by 1. Each time a Bossonian Guard reaches an area with a [grey-brown area token], remove their miniature from the board and increase the [Bossonian Guard token] by 1. These Guards are considered rescued.
Webs
A non-flying unit (Hero or Overlord) entering an area with a [grey-brown area token] loses their remaining base movement points. Place the [web token] on the unit's miniature. The unit cannot move until it spends 3 movement points in a single turn to remove the [web token] from the game.
Optional Substitutions
Zelata, Kerim Shah and Forest Demon may substitute for Hadrathus, Bêlit and Giant Snake respectively.
Transcriber's note: the [green token], [Bossonian Guard token], [grey-brown area token] and [web token] are pictured on the printed page and are not named in text. They are left as descriptions of their appearance. The booklet's playtester credits and artist signature are omitted as credits.
