Game Components

• 108 cards, divided in to two decks:
  • 64 Adventurer cards
  • 42 Dragonwood cards
  • 2 Turn summary cards
• 6 custom dice

Setup

Remove the 2 turn summary cards and then split the rest of the cards into two decks according to card back.

Sort through the Dragonwood deck (green back) and note that there are three different types of cards: Creatures (green background), Enhancements (purple background) and Events (orange background). See "Card Types" for more details about each.

Find the 2 dragon cards (Orange and Blue dragons) and remove them from the deck.

Shuffle the rest of the deck and randomly remove the number of cards based on the number of players. (Place them back in the box).

• 2 players = 12 cards
• 3 players = 10 cards
• 4 players = 8 cards

Shuffle the dragon cards back into bottom half of the remaining deck.

Reveal 5 cards from the Dragonwood deck face up in the center of the playing area to form the Landscape. Stack the rest of the deck face down next to it.

(Note: If you reveal any Event cards, shuffle them back into the deck and deal new cards).

Shuffle the Adventurer deck (red back) and deal each player 5 cards. (Keep your cards in your hands, secret from opponents). Stack the rest of the Adventurer cards face down above the Dragonwood deck.

Place the 6 dice and turn summary cards within easy reach of all players.
