→RECOMMENDED APPROACH

→Player vs. Player Combat

→It is strongly recommended not to use the Player vs. Player combat rules for the first scenario. The players will have enough to do learning the rules of the game and dealing with the enemies on the map. Our experience is such that the Player vs. Player rules are usually unused in the first scenario, so you do not need to explain them. Also, it is much easier to understand how Player vs. Player combat works once you are familiar with all the game mechanics. We leave this to your discretion. In later games, you should definitely include it (unless playing cooperative scenarios or introducing new players) - a true Mage Knight should always watch his or her back!

→We also recommend that you do not play the first scenario too competitively. Its main purpose is to teach the basics of the game to all players. It can be advantageous to solve the most complicated situations (especially combats) together, playing open handed, so you ensure everyone understands how the mechanics work and what is allowed.

→- Once you finish your first scenario, you are ready to progress to a full game, as described in Chapter X - Next Games

→- At some point during the game (sometime during the second Round is best),you should explain the final scoring (Chapter IX - End of the Game). Follow that chapter when the game ends.

→- When something special happens during the game, look for the appropriate section in this book for an explanation (Chapter VII - Revealing New Tiles or Chapter VIII - Other Important Events).

→- Now, start to play! You do not have to explain the rest of the rules, just follow Chapter VI - Let's Start.

→- Explain the details of a player turn, as explained in Chapter V - Player Turn. In this chapter, all of the basic mechanics are explained. Use a player's starting deck to illustrate examples, similar to the ones in this book. Explain the map tiles and how they are placed. Show the movement costs for different terrain and explain locations visible on the revealed part of the map (showing the reference cards.)

→- Explain in detail how a typical round plays out, as described in Chapter IV - First Round of the Game.

→- Show and briefly explain the game components as described in Chapter III - Game Components. Help the players set up their playing area.

→- Explain to each player how the game alternates in Day and Night Rounds, each consisting of many player turns, as explained in Chapter II - Overview.

→First, one person should read this Walkthrough. Let's assume it is you. Once you have finished going through this book, you can (but do not have to) read the Rules Summary, to ensure you understand everything well and see the "big picture" of the game. In this book, some situations that will not occur (or will rarely happen) in your first game are not explained.

→Whether you have read the Rules Summary or not, you will be able to introduce others to the game, and play "The First Reconnaissance" scenario with them, explaining the rules as you play. You should follow this Walkthrough, step by step:

→Improving Heroes

→- Tell the players the brief story and the goals of the scenario, as explained earlier in this chapter.
