SETUP
Players determine which player will be the Good guys, and which will be the Bad guys.
The bad guy goes first.
Shuffle the Recruit Deck.
Each player is dealt 10 Cards from the Recruit Deck.
Players cannot attack on their first turn.
TURN SEQUENCE
Players take Turns.
The current player is referred to as the active player.
Each turn has 6 Phases:
Contacts Phase
Recruit Phase
Equip Phase
Tactics Phase
Action Phase
Recovery Phase
CONTACTS PHASE
Draw 2 Cards from the Recruit Deck and put them in your Recruit Hand.
RECRUIT PHASE
Only the active player may put cards into play.
You may put any number of Hero cards from your hand into play.
The bad guy player can put any number of Minion cards from his hand into play.
Heroes under control of the Bad guy player are referred to as Villains.

You may attach Aid cards from your hand to your Heroes.
Each Hero may receive a maximum of 1 Aid card per turn.
Upgrade cards may be attached to Aid cards.
Villains may attach Plot cards.
Origin cards may only be attached to Heroes you put into play this turn.
TACTICS PHASE
Draw 2 Cards from the Action Deck and put them in your Action Hand.
The Good Guy player may discard Plot, Plot Upgrade, & Minion cards from his hand.
For each Plot, Plot Upgrade, & Minion card discarded, he may draw 2 Action cards.
ACTION PHASE
Each of your Heroes/Minions may attack once in this phase.
A Hero/Minion with Delay Tokens cannot attack or be Attacked.
The Attacker chooses the target Hero of the Attack.
The target player may intercept the attack with another hero/minion he has in play.
The hero/minion receiving the Attack is known as the Defender.
A single defending Hero/Minion may only intercept once per turn.
To attack compare the Total Force of the Attacker + 1D6 vs the Total Force of the Defender + 1D6.
Battle cards are used to increase a target Heroes Force for a Single dice roll.
Minions cannot normally use Battle cards.
If the attackers total is greater the target receives Damage Tokens equal to the difference.
If a Hero has more Damage Markers than Force, he is discarded (defeated).
All Aid cards attached to the defeated card are also discarded.
ATTACK TYPES
Most attacks are of the Damage Type (vs a single target) as described in Action Phase.
(If unstated, consider an attack to be of the Damage type.)
There are other types of attacks that do not cause Damage: Immobilization and Control
A successful Immobilization attack results in 1D6 Delay Tokens being placed on the Target.
A successful Control attack results in you taking control of the Target Hero.
If a Minion is ‘controlled’ by a Good Hero, it is destroyed (discarded).
The Extra attack ability allows a second attack of whatever type the Hero normally makes.
Some cards that allow an Extra attack will designate it as a Damage attack of a stated Force.
Area Affect Attacks are usually of the Damage Type (vs all targets) but can be of the
Other types if the Hero has both Abilities (Area Affect and either Immobilization or Control)
RECOVERY PHASE
Remove one Damage or Delay Tokens from each of your Heroes/Minions in Play.
Max hand sizes = 7.
Discard excess cards from your hands.
Excess Team Members are also discarded (discard newest ones first)
