Saboteur The Duel For 2 Players

Setup

Remove the 2 start path cards from the deck ( blue or green ladder and a hat) and then shuffle the path cards and action cards together. …

The rules for 2 players are the same as the solo rules, with the following exceptions:

Setup

Shuffle the 76-card deck and reveal the top 8 cards. Set aside any Door or Dream cards into the Limbo pile, and replace them with the top card of the deck, until you have 8 Location cards.

Re-shuffle all cards set aside in the Limbo pile back into the deck.

Each player takes one of the 8 revealed cards, until each player has 3 cards in their hand. These 3 cards are called Personal resources. …

Barrage Stratego is played identical to the normal game, on the same classic, two-player board. The one difference is each player, instead of having forty pieces, has just eight, consisting of:

1 Marshal	1 General
1 Miner	2 Scouts
1 Spy	1 Bomb
1 Flag

You are allowed to put these pieces on any square of your own normal 40-square start position. Something must be used as a shield to prevent your opponent from seeing where you put your pieces.

The player who captures his/her opponent's Flag wins. As with the normal game, a player not capable of moving a piece loses the game. …

After a player moves units using an Advance Order, he must resolve a combat if he has units on an area containing both friendly and enemy units or structures (i.e., a contested area).

During combat, the player resolving the Advance Order is the attacker and the other player is the defender.

Combat in Forbidden Stars uses a combination of both dice and cards. Players begin the combat by rolling a number of dice based on their units' combat values. Then, they play combat cards to trigger special abilities and gain combat icons, dice, and combat tokens. The player with the most morale () at the end of the combat is the winner and his opponent must retreat his units. …

Each faction has two tokens for each of the four orders. When a player resolves an order during the Operations Phase, the system tile on which the order was placed is the active system.

This section describes how players resolve each of the four orders.

Deploy Order

Players use Deploy Orders to place new units and structures on the game board. To resolve a Deploy Order, the active player follows these two steps in order:

1. Purchase Units: If the player has a factory in the active system, he may purchase units and place them on any friendly or uncontrolled (not containing any units or structures) areas in the system. …

Commands

Commands enhance a ship's power, giving it additional capability. The effect of each command depends on whether a player spends a command dial or a command token. Each command effect is described below.

Navigate

When a ship is determining course for movement, it may spend its command dial to increase or decrease its speed by one. This is the main way that a ship changes its speed. Also, it may adjust one joint by one click more than the speed chart normally allows. The minimum speed for all ships is "0", and the maximum speed is indicated on the speed chart. …
