Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- attack — Attack strength determines the number of dice rolled; range indicates how far you can target; higher elevations do not affect range; circles of dice results determine damage.
- cards — Playing a card from hand costs action points; cards resolve their effects, including movement and attack bonuses, and sometimes special abilities.
- Episode placards & special rules — Each episode has a placard with special rules; setup includes placing characters and tokens according to the episode; reading placards is encouraged for specifics.
- glide — Works like movement but requires starting on a building; uses glide points and counts spaces normally.
- Minions & health — Minions have health; some minions ignore damage in certain scenarios; damage tracks on health trackers and defeat removes targets from the board.
- Movement — Each player has movement points shown on their placard; spend points to move to adjacent spaces (including diagonals). Moving to a higher space costs extra points; unused points are lost.
- Movement Points — Each player has movement points shown on their placard; spend points to move to adjacent spaces (including diagonals). Moving to a higher space costs extra points; unused points are lost.
- Reactions — Reaction cards can be played at any time during another player's turn when conditions are met; some reactions reduce damage or grant other benefits.
- skill tokens — Skill tokens are earned and spent to resolve character-specific skills; tokens are returned to supply; no limit to uses unless specified.
- Turn phases — Turns have hero phase, villain phase, and a refresh phase; daytime/nighttime track introduces dynamic effects and Moon counters.
- Variable Phase Order — Turns have hero phase, villain phase, and a refresh phase; daytime/nighttime track introduces dynamic effects and Moon counters.
