Rituals of Terror

Difficulty +3 (Moderate) Base Game
The Invaders seem resigned to a land of hostility and pain. What must their homeland be like to inspire this dogged determination to stay despite the deaths of their neighbors, the portents, and omens the spirits blaze across the sky?

Setup Changes

Put the Terror Level Dividers by the side of the board instead of into the Fear Deck.
Put all Fear Cards into the Fear Deck. If you run out, earn no more Fear Cards.

Rule Changes

Terror Levels are not earned via Fear, but by the Ritual of Terror.

Do not resolve earned Fear Cards during the Invader Phase (If you have trouble remembering this, you can put earned Fear cards on this card instead.)

During either the Fast speed or Slow speed Phase, the Spirits may perform the Ritual of Terror if:

  • There is a land with at least 1 Presence from each Spirit;
  • That land has at least 3 Dahan per player.
  • The Spirits collectively spend 3 Energy total and destroy 3 Presence total in that land.

When the Ritual of Terror is Performed:

  • Earn the Next Terror Level. (This may be VICTORY on your third Ritual)
  • Resolve all earned Fear Cards (at the new Terror Level)
  • Push all Dahan from the land where the RItual was performed, distributing them as evenly as possible among all adjacent lands. (I.e; send 1 Dahan to each adjacent land before sending a 2nd to any.)

Difficulty Notes

Notably Easier: for spirits with strong Dahan movement (e.g. Thunderspeaker)
Notably Harder: In a solo game with a Spirit with poor Energy generation or slow Presence placement.
