Difficulty: Easy

1. Understand the premise of Heroscape. It is a fantasy-based board game with role playing aspects. There are terrain pieces which offer endless possibilities and characters portraying warriors from many different eras. The game is based on units, which are combinations of characters, and each unit has cards which control its movements and combat strength.
2. Know the object of the game or how you know you won. There are different scenarios in the rulebook. Which scenario you use depends on the set up you are using and the characters involved. The goal of the scenario may be to get rid of all your opponents, protect certain characters or establish other ideas in the game.
