Game Components

• 108 cards, divided in to two decks:
  • 64 Adventurer cards
  • 42 Dragonwood cards
  • 2 Turn summary cards
• 6 custom dice

Setup

Remove the 2 turn summary cards and then split the rest of the cards into two decks according to card back.

Sort through the Dragonwood deck (green back) and note that there are three different types of cards: Creatures (green background), Enhancements (purple background) and Events (orange background). See "Card Types" for more details about each.

Find the 2 dragon cards (Orange and Blue dragons) and remove them from the deck. …

This variant allows a player to play a 2-player game against an automated opponent. All rules are the same unless otherwise noted.

Setup

Remove 12 cards from the Dragonwood deck as in a 2-player game (and put the 2 Dragons in the bottom half).

Put 5 cards in the landscape as normal with the deck set to the right. Deal 5 cards as normal to yourself. The opponent does not have cards. You go first.

Game Play

On your turn, always begin by drawing one card, and then take a turn as normal (so you will either draw 2 cards or draw 1 card and then attempt to capture on each turn). …

Creatures

Creatures make up the bulk of the Dragonwood deck, as the aim is to defeat them and collect their associated Victory Points. (For example, a Grumpy Troll earns 4 victory points).

Victory Points are shown in the bottom left shield, and capture strength is listed next to icons on the right. (The sword is for a Strike, the boot is for a Stomp, and the face is for a Scream.

Some Creatures are easier or harder to defeat, depending on the method.(For example the Gooey Glob is very difficult to beat with a Strike and Fire Ants are easier to beat with a Stomp). …
