TorselliWelcome to *Legends of Hellas*!
It is a cooperative game for 1-5 players in which the players act as heroes trying to defeat mythological monsters.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
TorselliThe full game consists of 12 missions that can be played individually here in BGA.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
TorselliEach mission requires the players to defeat 7 monsters without running out of cards - if the deck is depleted, and any player needs to draw cards, *you all lose*!3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
TorselliTo defeat a monster, you have to play cards with the same attribute (color/symbol) as the monster’s attributes. There are 5 different attributes in the game.
4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
TorselliThe *Lamia* attributes, for example, are Courage (green) and Arms (purple). 5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000monster_2_card_1 6
TorselliIn most cases you need *5 cards* to defeat a monster. It does not matter the distribution between the attributes, *as long as each attribute is fulfilled at least once*.6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
TorselliFor example: To defeat the *Lamia*, you can play 3 Courage and 2 Arms, or 4 Courage and 1 Arms, but not 5 Courage and 0 Arms.
Of course you also could play 2 Courage and 3 Arms or 1 Courage and 4 Arms.

TorselliOur first move is to choose one monster to start fighting. Choose the *Lamia* - our disc (yellow) will be placed over the monster card to indicate our current battle.

TorselliIn your turn, you have to choose between one of the *five* different actions, or use your *Special Ability*.
1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c370419853800
Torselli*Fight Monster* - plays a card next to the monster where you are currently engaged. This is the main action of the game, and it’s how you defeat the monsters.
Select the Courage (green) card (highlighted) and click the *Fight Monster* button.

TorselliThe card was played next to the *Lamia* and now she has 1 hit. When 5 cards are played next to her, she will be defeated.
1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c3704f67db500
Torselli*Draw Cards* - draw one card at a time up to the limit of 5 cards in the hand. Discard 1 card after drawing.
[tip] You don’t need to draw until you reach the limit - you can stop whenever you wish. But you’ll have to discard one card anyway.

TorselliClick *Draw Card* button to draw the first card. You would have to click the button for every card drawn (I’ll draw the others for you)2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c37093f299f10
TorselliNow discard the highlighted (yellow) card.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c3709c345b310myhand_item_1 6
Torselli*Support Hero* - choose one or more cards to give to any one other player. You *do not* have to be engaged in the same battle. The player who receives the card(s) *has to discard at least one of his cards* (or more, up to the limit of holding no more than 4 cards in their hand).
!!! This action is not available in solo mode.

TorselliUsing the card you sent him, your teammate played the 5th card next to *Minotaur* and defeated him. Good job! To indicate that, his card becomes sepia colored. Another monster (Griffin) has appeared.
1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c370c32b6a400monster_1_card_1 6
Torselli*Move Hero* - discard one card and move your hero disc to any monster. This is the way to fight a different monster.
Click the blue card, the *Griffin* and the *Move Hero* button.

TorselliThis is one different kind of card - *Divine Intervention*. It can be used as a wild card *or* to slay the monster using fewer cards than the required, *as long as each attribute is fulfilled at least once*.

TorselliThe *Harpy* has two hits - one of Speed (blue) and one of Arms (purple). Let’s use *Divine Intervention* to finish her. Click the card and *Fight Monster* button to use it.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c371efb597910myhand_item_17 16 monster_3_action_1 8 monster_3_card_1 8 monster_3_action_2 8
TorselliEach hero has one *Special Ability* that can be used only once during the game. The player may play any one card from their hand next to a monster, *causing that card to match their player color*.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c3725d9446100
TorselliChoose the blue card and click the *Use Special Ability* button. The card will be played next to the *Cyclops* as a *yellow card*, since your hero is yellow. 2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c3725d9446110myhand_item_58 6
TorselliTo show that you’ve already used your *special ability*, your disc color will appear faded from now on.

Torselli*Consult Oracle* - the player draws the top 6 cards from the deck, discards one of them and returns the others in any order he chooses.
[tip] All the players will see the cards and the order they are returned to the deck.

TorselliNow you have to return the cards to the top of the deck one by one. The first card you return will be the 5th from the top, the second one will be the 4th, and so on, until the last card returned, that will be the top card of the deck.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c3729bd195800
TorselliReturn the highlighted card, and I'll return the remaining ones for you.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c3729bd195810oracle_item_5 6
TorselliThe final monster of each mission (except for mission 12) is always a *Chimera* - a monster made of 2 monster cards together, presenting *4 attributes*. It needs *8 cards* to be defeated.
!!! In missions 8 and 9 you'll face 2 simultaneous *Chimeras* as the final monsters.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c372e2487e400monster_7_card_1 8 monster_7_card_3 8
TorselliTo use *Divine Intervention* with the Chimera, *all the 4 attributes must be fulfilled at least once*. If any attribute is duplicated, consider as *different attributes* that need to be fulfilled (you will always need at least 4 cards). In this case, you will need 2 Speed (blue), 1 Guile (yellow) and 1 Strength (red) before being able to use *Divine Intervention*.

TorselliBefore we finish this tutorial, here is some other information.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c3732a8130500
TorselliIn this area you can see how many cards of each type were played on the table (not discarded) and how many cards are remaining in the deck.3info_divine62c3732a8130500
TorselliWhen you mouse over this icon you have all the information about the mission you’re playing and the difficulty. One mission differs from the other in how many monsters appear at the setup, in which moment a new monster arrives and some special rules.
4info_icon62c3732a8130500
TorselliThe mission you saw in the tutorial was Mission 1 - it starts with 3 monsters, a new monster appears after the defeat of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd monsters, and the *Chimera* appears after you defeat the 6th monster (nothing happens after you defeat the 4th and 5th monsters). 5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62c3732a8130500
TorselliMission 12's last monster is *Hades*. Hades comes into play as a Chimera consisting of *3* monster cards, and *10 cards* are needed to defeat him.
As the other monsters, he can only be defeated by a *Divine Intervention* when each of his 6 attributes are fulfilled.
