Roll Player: Monsters & Minions
A monstrous abomination is terrorizing the kingdom, and adventurers are summoned to the capitol to organize a plan to defeat it. Players draft and build fantasy character sheets—assigning attributes, equipment, skills, and traits—to craft effective heroes, while also collecting rumor tokens that reveal the monster’s lair, obstacles, and next moves. Rumors and resources fuel preparations for a final showdown against the beast and its minions, and some actions send minions into play as additional challenges. Players score Reputation Stars for character construction and for successes against the monster and its minions; the player with the most Reputation at the end wins.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
How many cards do we put in the Market with this expansion?
Lay out one more card than in the base game: players plus two (4–7 cards for 2–5 players). Replenish the Market to that same number during Cleanup (Rulebook, p. 5).
Can I go on a Hunt instead of taking a Market card, and what does it cost?
Yes. During your Market turn, you can hunt instead of buying a card or discarding one for 2 Gold; you take 1 Combat Die, then may hire extra dice for 3 XP or 5 Gold each. Rerolling a Combat Die costs 1 XP per reroll (Rulebook, p. 6).
Do I keep a Minion card after every Hunt?
No. You keep it as a Trophy only if the reward level you reach shows a trophy symbol; otherwise, put it on the bottom of the Minion deck because it escaped. A Trophy also gives you the next Adventure token and a private look at that Adventure card (Rulebook, p. 6).
If I have an Adventure token, can I use the Adventure card’s benefit without looking at the card?
No. You must have gathered the information on that particular card to be eligible for its benefit. Once you have its token, though, you can look at the card again as often as you like (Rulebook, pp. 7–8).
When do Honor and Injury tokens affect my combat roll against the Monster?
After rolling and finishing any rerolls, add 1 for each Honor token and subtract 1 for each Injury token. If the Dragon is in play, each Injury subtracts 2 instead (Rulebook, p. 7).
