Building a Map

1. Randomly select 3 platters.

2. Randomly select 5 Factions keys.

3. Add the 6 Dome keys and 2 Lith keys. You now have 13 keys and 3 platters.

4. Take one random key. Attach the three platters to it.

5. Fill in the slots around the map edge with randomly selected and rotated keys.

To randomly choose keys, pull from a bag or from under table, have a player call out a number, or use dice to select and orient.

Fix dead ends

The position of a key might block heroes from moving into part of that key. If so, spin the key clockwise and check it again.

In your first games, you might not discover dead ends until later. That’s okay. Fix it when you find it.

INVALID: The only entrance to Celestial Theatre is blocked by the Great Tree’s wall.

Set 2 Map Designs

With Set 2, you can use other map designs. All use the two Lith keys (Death’s Edge and Lith’s Lair) and the six Dome keys.

Remember that teams always bring on one-third of their heroes during Reinforce, rounded up. So, bring on 4 heroes each turn if you are playing with 10-12 heroes.
