Setup 1 Shuffle all tiles face-down. Place all tiles in piles on the table. 2 Each player draws five tiles and takes these in his hand. Don’t show the tiles in your hand to the other players. 3 Draw one tile and place it face-up in the centre of the table. If this is a Troll, return it and draw another tile (repeat this until you don’t draw a Troll). Shuffle the returned tile in a pile of choice. 4 Each player chooses a colour and places his score marker next to the score track.

Expansion Module Setup The setup is equal to the base game with the following exceptions: • Separate out the five Hel tiles. Each player gets one Hel tile. All unused Hel tiles are removed from the game and returned to the game box. Important: In a two player game, each player gets two Hel tiles. • Shuffle the new tiles with the base game tiles. • Deal five tiles to each player. The rules are the same as in the base game.
