Scenario Rules
While playing this scenario, cards that refer to Smaug refer to any enemy with "Smaug" in its title.
The Smaug Deck
During setup, stage 1A instructs players to build a Smaug deck. The Smaug deck includes all copies of Smaug and has its own discard pile. Effects that interact with the encounter deck/discard pile do not interact with the Smaug deck/discard pile. When Smaug is discarded, place it in the Smaug discard pile. If the Smaug deck is empty, shuffle the Smaug discard pile back into the Smaug deck.
At the beginning of each Quest phase, the first player must choose either his play area or the staging area as a destination for Smaug. He then reveals the top card of the Smaug deck and puts it into play in the chosen area. If he chooses his play area, he immediately engages Smaug.
If another version of Smaug was already in play, move all damage tokens on that version to the new Smaug as it is revealed and discard the previous Smaug. Smaug is only defeated when he has 0 hit points remaining.
New Keyword: Burn X
The Burn X keyword represents Smaug's devastating attack against Lake-town. When instructed to resolve Burn damage, total the amount of all Burn X on locations in play and assign it to the Lake-town objective. When assigning Burn damage, each player may exhaust any number of his characters to assign any number of Burn damage to those characters (up to their remaining hit points). Any damage not assigned to characters must be assigned to Lake-town.
