## Rules questions

### What exactly is Easy Mode and how do I set it up?

Easy Mode is an alternative, less-challenging setup for new players; during setup you add 1 resource to each hero and remove difficulty-marked cards from the encounter deck (see the Easy Mode steps). (page 1)

### When during setup do I add the +1 resource to each hero?

Add one resource to each hero's resource pool during step 2 of setup, “Place Heroes and Set Initial Threat Levels.” (page 1)

### Which encounter cards do I remove for Easy Mode — do I remove every card with a gold border?

Remove any card that has the “difficulty” indicator (a gold border around its encounter set icon) from the current scenario's encounter deck; those cards are removed from the deck for Easy Mode. (page 1)

### My copy of an older scenario doesn't show gold difficulty icons — how do I know which cards to remove?

The rulebook provides lists of which specific cards to remove from older encounter sets that lack the difficulty icon; consult the removal lists for the scenario's encounter sets in the rulebook. (pages 1–3)

### After I add resources and remove difficulty cards, what do I do next?

After making the Easy Mode changes, follow the scenario's normal setup instructions (for example, follow Stage 1A setup) and then begin playing. (page 1)
