- Chapter-type scoring — Chapters come in types (action, romance, mystery, etc.) and each type carries its own scoring rules, affecting how pages are valued.
- Compound Scoring — Chapters come in types (action, romance, mystery, etc.) and each type carries its own scoring rules, affecting how pages are valued.
- End condition — The game ends when a player writes their sixth page, triggering endgame scoring and book reveals.
- End Game Bonuses — The game ends when a player writes their sixth page, triggering endgame scoring and book reveals.
- Hero interference via snitch mechanic — A hero figure can be triggered to move and thwart villain actions when certain tokens align, adding a counterbalance to villainy.
- Page drafting & sequencing — Players collect henchmen to write pages for their book and arrange them in chapter order; longest consecutive sequence of chapters yields points, with chapter-type modifiers.
