Scenario Tournament Rules

Rules

With the following annotations normal tournament rules apply:

• We play 2-deck games, so one game lasts 80 minutes (the player who didn't start finishes his turn or gets a final turn). You need 25 Marshalling Points to call the council.
• You may not include the following cards in any of your decks:
  • Long Winter
  • Storms of Osse
  • Foul Fumes

Tournament Points

The most important difference to a regular tournament is that you do not only get tournament points for marshalling points, but also for fulfilling the requirements of a certain scenario. You can choose one scenario out of 13 possible ones (see below).

There are 4 different classes of scores for a player:

1. Losing due to MPs and no scenario fulfilled: 1 tournament point
2. Losing due to MPs and a scenario fulfilled: 2 tournament points
3. Winning due to MPs and no scenario fulfilled: 3 tournament points
4. Winning due to MPs and a scenarion fulfilled: 12, 8, 5, 3 tournament points

The different tournament points in D are given individually to a player. If a player reaches within a tournament score D with a certain scenario the first time, he gets 12 tournament points. If reaching score D with the same scenario a second time, he gets 8 points, for the third time 5, and finally 3 points for reaching score D for each following round. (Ranking points for a player of scenario tournaments are given as many as the total of his tournament points of all of his games at official scenario tournaments.)

The Scenarios

For each scenario the following applies:

• You have to play a hero deck.
• To fulfill a scenario a player has to meet all deck building requirements during the whole game and additionally the winning requirements for a certain scenario at the end of a game.
• You may only refer to the cards in your own deck to meet scenario requirements.
• Restrictions for bringing a character into play apply only for wizards, where wizards are explicitly noted.
