The Battle of Moon Lake
Master Game for 2 Players
Required Sets: Swarm of the Marro
(2)
, Ticalla Jungle
(2)
Goal: Gain control of your opponent’s fragment of the Kyrie Totem, combine that piece with
your own fragment to unite the Totem, and make it to the Altar of Moon Lake to gain
the Moon Tribe’s allegiance.
Setup: Each player drafts or brings a pre-made 450 point Army that is only made up of Unique
Heroes. Each Army must have a Glyph of Brandar (Totem fragment).
Prior to placing order markers for the first round, each player must select one Unique
Hero they control to hold onto their Totem fragment. Place the Totem Fragment on that
figure’s Army Card.
Player 1 starts in the olive starting zone; Player 2 starts in the purple starting
zone.
Special Rules: The Glyphs of Brandar are considered to be pieces of the Totem. See below on how they
are lost or passed between figures. Once one figure controls both glyphs, the Totem
is now considered to be fused together. Discard the second glyph from that figure’s
Army Card and remove it from the game.
A Hero that controls a Totem Fragment, or the complete Totem subtracts 1 from its
attack value on its Army Card.
Passing the Totem: A Totem Fragment, or a complete Totem, may be passed between two adjacent figures
in the same Army at any time during that player’s turn. Place the Glyph on the adjacent
figure’s Army Card. That figure is now in control of the Totem Fragment, or complete
Totem.
Losing the Totem: If at any point a Hero that controls a Totem Fragment, or the complete Totem is destroyed
by a ranged attack, place the Totem on the space that figure occupied. If the figure
is destroyed by an adjacent attacking figure, place the Totem Fragment, or the complete
Totem, on the attacking figure’s Army Card.
Picking up the Totem: If a figure lands on a space with a Glyph of Brandar on it, they must end their movement.
Place the Glyph of Brandar on that figure’s Army Card. That figure is now in control
of the Totem Fragment, or complete Totem.
Victory: Victory is achieved by eliminating all of your opponent’s figures, or by standing
on the Altar of Moon Lake (teal starting spaces) with one of your figures that controls
the fused Totem.
Battles continue to rage throughout Valhalla. While Sgt. Drake and his band of travelers have befriended the Moon Tribe and their leader Aquilla, no one truly understands the raw power that a single relic can have over the fates of the coming battles.
The Kyrie Totem, long thought lost, has been found in separate pieces buried deep in the Jungle. The Moon Tribe has searched countless generations to unite the pieces of the Totem. When united, the being that recants the sacred phrases on the Altar of Moon Lake will gain control of the Moon Tribe, and all of their secrets. It has cost both teams much to gain control of a fragment of the Totem. Only true heroes could enter the sacred dwellings where the fragments were buried. The remnants of those heroic groups have finally converged on Moon Lake.
Now, with each group in control of part of the Totem, they must battle to unite the pieces, and finally decide which side of the conflict the Moon Tribe will fight for.
