1### Before Scenario:
2
3 * Optionally visit Gloomhaven, where you can:
4   * Complete a `city event`
5   * Buy/sell items (sell for half of buy price)
6   * Donate to sanctuary - `10g` for `2 bless cards` in your attack deck
7   * Level up, create characters, retire, enhance cards
8   * No trading money or items!
9 * Take `road event`, unless scenario is linked to previous location
10 * Choose next scenario from known places
11 * Set out all map tiles, monsters for first room
12 * Choose scenario level `L` (recommended: avg player level / 2 (↑))
13 * Monsters - color in [NW,NE,S] corner for [2,3,4] players
14   * Monster = [none,normal,elite] for color [black,white,yellow]
15 * Each player chooses `2` battle goal cards and discards one
16 * Players choose equipment and cards up to deck size
17
18
19
20### Rounds
21
22 * Each player either chooses two cards or announces a `long rest`
23    * Players select one of the cards to "lead" (determine initiative)
24 * Reveal all initiatives and draw ability card for each monster type
25 * Players and monsters take `turns`, low initiative → high
26 * Cleanup:
27    * Shuffle any deck that turned up a shuffle symbol card
28    * Move elemental infusion tokens down a notch
29    * Any player may perform a `short rest`
30
31
32### Rests
33
34 * Require at least `2` cards in your discard pile
35 * Short rest: happens during clean-up stage between rounds
36    * Regain discards and `lose` one at random
37    * You *may* take `1` damage to lose a different one (once)
38 * Long rest: uses your turn, with initative `99`
39    * Regain discards, selecting one to `lose`
40    * Heal self for `2` and refresh all item cards
41 * Discarded cards that are still "in play" *may* be regained, your choice
42
43
44### Player Turns
45
46 * Perform actions for top of one card and bottom of other, in either order
47 * Multiple parts of an action must be done from top → bottm
48 * Parts of actions can be skipped (but not negative effects or experience)
49 * Any card action can be replaced with default `attack 2` / `move 2`
50 * Stepping onto a door reveals a room:
51    * Immediately lay out monsters and draw an action card for any new types
52    * All newly revealed monsters act in the round they're revealed
53
54
55### Monster Turns
56
57 * Mobs activate elite → normal, in order of number on figure
58 * Mob AI is based on focus target:
59    * Focus = enemy an attack can be used on with the least movement
60    * If no attack, focus is determined as for a melee attack
61    * Ties broken by hex distance, then initiative
62 * With focus chosen actions proceed:
63    * Mob moves minimally to hit maximal targets including the focus
64    * If ranged, mob moves to avoid disadvantage (even if it hits fewer targets)
65    * If there was no valid focus, mob does not move or attack
66 * For mob movement, traps are obstacles unless no other path exists
67 * Mob heals prioritize whatever target is most wounded
68 * Card bonuses (e.g. shield) are actions, and take effect during a mob's turn
69 * If a monster card consumes an element, all of that type get the bonus
70 * Bosses: use a common action deck, and are neither normal nor elite monsters
71    * Boss condtion immunities are listed on the card
72
73
74### Combat
75
76 * Targeting:
77    * Attacks with no listed range = melee (range 1)
78    * Anything with a range gets disadvantage if used on adjacent target
79    * Line of sight: any hex corner → any corner without touching a wall
80    * Nothing can target an ally unless specified
81    * "Ally" includes summons, does not include yourself
82 * Damage resolution: (player chooses order within each step):
83    1. Apply modifiers from the attack, active effects, elements, etc.
84    2. Draw and apply attack modifier card
85    3. Apply target's defensive bonuses (e.g. shield)
86 * Advantage / disadvantage = draw two cards, use better/worse
87    * Rolling modifier = both for advantage, ignored for disadvantage
88    * For ambiguous cards use whichever was first
89 * AoE: hits red hexes per diagram (in any orientation)
90    * Only one hex of AoE area needs to be in range
91    * Each target requires LoS, and gets a separate attack modifier card
92    * One attack can never hit the same target twice
93 * Push/pull
94    * Attacker chooses direction but target must wind up farther/nearer
95    * Target can be pushed/pulled through its allies but not enemies
96    * Counts as movement, but ignores difficult terrain
97 * Shield: reduces damage of attacks (only)
98 * Pierce: negates an equal number of shields
99 * Add target: applies all effects of attack (except AoE), requires range
100 * Retaliate: deals damage to adjacent attacker, after (each) attack is made
101    * Does not itself count as an attack or a targeted effect
102 * Summons: activate at initiative immediately before figure who summoned them
103    * Use mob AI, as if following a `Move +0, Attack +0` action
104 * Damage from a given attack may be nulled by `losing` one card or two discards
105 * Elemental infusions created in a turn become strong *after* that turn
106
107
108
109### Conditions
110
111 * Negative:
112    * Poison: enemies add `+1` to attack damage, any heal negates (and burns heal)
113    * Wound: take `1` damage at start of own turns, any heal negates
114    * Immobilize: no move actions, removed at end of own next turn
115    * Disarm: no attack actions, removed at end of own next turn
116    * Stun: cannot take any action except a long rest, removed at end of next turn
117      * (players still must discard two cards unless resting)
118    * Muddle: Disadvantage on all attacks, removed at end of own next turn
119    * Curse: shuffle a curse card into attack deck (removed once drawn)
120 * Positive:
121    * Invisible: cannot be targeted by enemies. Treated as a wall by mobs
122    * Strengthen: Advantage on all attacks, removed at end of own next turn
123    * Bless: shuffle a bless card into attack deck (removed once drawn)
124
125
126
127### Terrain / Movement
128
129 * Doors: act as walls until a player moves onto them (no cost)
130 * Figures: enemies block movement, allies don't. Cannot end turn on occupied hex.
131 * Coins: looted by action (with range) or at end of your turn (own hex)
132 * Treasure: looted like coins, numbered chests only once (ever)
133    * Looted items are gained immediately, but only equippable between scenarios
134 * Ground effects: (all ignored when figure is `flying` or `jumping`)
135    * Traps: trigger when entered (unless flying/jumping), then removed
136      * Damage versions deal `2+L`, others apply a status
137    * Hazards: like a persistent damage trap at half damage (↓)
138    * Difficult terrain: cost 2 movement to enter (unless flying/jumping)
139    * Obstacles: block movement but not shots or line of sight
140 * For rules descriptions, "unoccupied" hex = no figures, "empty" = nothing but floor
141
142
143### Items
144 * Can use any number of items at any time, if usage conditions are met
145 * Items defending an attack must be used before seeing the attack modifier card
146 * "Spent" items are discarded, "consumed" items are lost (for the scenario)
147 * Items never burn permanently unless sold back into the city supply
148
149
150### After Scenario:
151
152 * Complete final round even after win/loss is triggered
153 * Players gain looted XP and money (see below)
154 * If successful: 
155    * Completed battle goals => checkmarks on player sheet => perks
156    * Each player gains bonus XP: `4 + 2*L`
157 * Scenario rewards on success:
158    * New locations: add stickers to board
159    * Item: one item card to any one player
160    * Item design: all cards for that item added to city supply
