Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action points — each hero has a set number of action points to spend on their turns; these can be spent on various actions.
- attack rolls (dice system) — roll dice that match the icons on the attack row (melee, ranged, magic) and use the results as hits to defeat minions.
- bear form / wild spells — certain spells increase attack dice and grant additional effects; e.g., Bear Form enhances red dice and total hits.
- bounty and hero horde — bounties accrue and are added to the heroes horde, influencing future resources and progression.
- campaign/level up — at the end of rounds, heroes may gain experience and upgrade abilities or obtain new items.
- defender token — in a tile with multiple heroes, one hero can be designated defender to be the focus of attacks.
- Dice rolling — roll dice that match the icons on the attack row (melee, ranged, magic) and use the results as hits to defeat minions.
- events on tiles — revealed tiles may trigger event cards that resolve as the map expands.
- golden rule / spawning and activation — spawning and activation order follow a golden rule based on hero proximity and card stacks.
- plus one tokens — spend unused hits to gain plus one tokens, which can be spent to increase total hits on attack rolls.
- scouting (free action) — reveal and place new tiles onto open hallways connected to the current tile; draw from the tile stack for each revealed spot.
- sidekicks — minions controlled by heroes with their own actions; sidekicks operate after the controlling hero's turn and have specific limitations.
- treasures and hero loot stash — defeated minions and treasures go into the hero loot stash; treasures provide stat bonuses and equipment effects.
