Thunderstone Quest

Turn over Monster Randomizers until you have three different Monster cards plus any Dungeon Feature Randomizers, then take the matching Monster, Treasure (and Trap) cards and shuffle them into the Dungeon Deck; if you drew Guardian Randomizers set those Guardians aside to be shuffled into the bottom in 11-card blocks (Guardian + 10 cards), and finally shuffle one Thunderstone with 10 cards and place that 11-card block on the bottom (then reveal the top three for the Hall). (see pages 3–4).

Yes — when a Treasure appears the active player takes it and places it in front of them (not in their discard), and may later destroy that Treasure card to activate its special effect. (see pages 5 and 12).

If a Guardian reaches Rank 1 it "emerges" to attack the Village: move it away from the Hall and create a Rank 0 space; only Guardians may occupy Rank 0, each player must resolve the Guardian’s continuous Breach Effect on their turn, and no one can claim the Thunderstone while a Guardian remains in Rank 0. Guardians are immune to effects that would move them or change their position (so Banish and similar effects do not work). (see pages 5–6).

Swarm placeholders (0 stats) are shuffled into the Dungeon Deck and are immediately replaced in the Hall by the top card of the separate, ordered Swarm Deck (the placeholder is destroyed), causing the Swarm to grow in strength; during the game Swarm cards have no VP value, but at game end each Swarm card in your deck scores VP equal to the total number of Swarm cards you have (capped at 5 VP each). (see page 7).

With the special Disease deck shuffled face down, when an effect forces you to take a disease you draw the top card and put it face-up in your discard, reveal and resolve its effects if it appears in your hand when you Enter or when a Village effect triggers, and destroyed disease cards go to the bottom of the deck face down; if the deck is empty because all cards are in players' decks, players who would normally take a disease instead do not take one until cards are returned. (see pages 8–9).

Traits modify which attack types count: Magic Attack Immunity reduces all Magic Attack values to zero so only non-magic Attack applies; Immune to Spells makes spells provide no Attack/Magic Attack bonus and prevents spells from targeting the Monster (though spell-provided Light still applies); Immune to Unequipped Heroes reduces Attack/Magic Attack from heroes without weapons to zero. (see pages 10–11).
