Heldentaufe

Players take on heroes exploring two linked realms: a peaceful Upper World and a dangerous Netherworld connected by portals. In the Upper World they gather resources, complete missions and trade items; in the Netherworld they face monsters, traps and a hidden treasure of golden monster teeth. On each turn players move heroes between realms, manage inventory and resolve encounters. When a hero enters the Netherworld, the controlling player also directs monsters there, creating shifting alliances and emergent conflict as rivals may cooperate against threats or turn on one another to claim spoils. Play emphasizes tactical movement, resource management and timed risk-taking as players race to collect the teeth and return them first.
