HtS Monster Card

If you successfully SLAY three Monsters, you win the game, but attacking a Monster may come at a price.

Monster cards are oversized cards with navy blue backs, and in order to ATTACK a Monster card, you must first meet the Party requirements listed on that Monster card. Some Monster cards require you to have a certain number of Hero cards in your Party, while others may require you to have a certain class represented in your Party in order to ATTACK that Monster card.

For example, if a Party requirement to ATTACK a Monster card is , you must have a Wizard in your Party (either a Hero card or the Wizard Party Leader card) in addition to a Hero card of any class. Note that a Wizard Hero card can fulfill either or requirements, but it cannot fulfill both.

Some Monster cards also require multiple Hero cards in your Party. For example, if a Monster card requires you to have at least three Hero cards of any class in your Party in order to ATTACK it, you will see on that Monster card. Please note that your Party Leader card is not considered a Hero card and does not count towards this Party requirement.

You can only ATTACK Monster cards that are face up in the center of the table. Attacking a Monster card costs two action points.

Each Monster card also has a roll requirement. In order to SLAY that Monster card, you must roll two dice and score equal to or higher than that Monster card’s roll requirement. But be warned: Each Monster card has a roll range in which they’ll fight back, and if you score within that range, you’ll have to pay the price.

For example, a Monster card might state the following:

• 5-: SACRIFICE a Hero card
• 8+: SLAY this Monster card

In this example, if you roll an 8 or higher (including Modifier cards), you successfully SLAY the Monster card. If you roll a 5 or lower (including Modifier cards), you must instead SACRIFICE a Hero card, and the Monster card remains unscathed. If you roll a 6 or 7 (including Modifier cards), nothing happens, but you do not get your action points back.

Each time you successfully SLAY a Monster card, your Party gains a new skill (listed at the bottom of the Monster card) for the rest of the game. Add the slain Monster card to your Party next to your Party Leader card. Monster card skills work just like the skill of your Party Leader card. Monster cards in your Party cannot be stolen, destroyed, attacked, or returned to your hand.

Each time you successfully SLAY a Monster card, turn another Monster card from the Monster deck face up in the center of the table.
