Board Game - Heroes Impact

The board game 'Heroes Impact' TM 'Smart Games' is an exciting quest for children with their favorite anime characters!

GAME OBJECTIVE
Assemble a team of 4 characters, gather and awaken the 7 'Eyes of God' with different elements and sequentially reach the cells 'Chapter II' and 'Chapter III'.

GAME PREPARATION
Cut the cards with the 'Eye of God' tokens and 'Status' tokens along the dotted line and place them near the game board. Thoroughly shuffle the 'Encounter' and 'Adventure' cards and lay them out in two separate decks face down next to the game board. Players may also need sheets of paper and pencils.

GAME PLAY

Chapter I
Players agree on the turn order in any convenient way, then choose their tokens and place them on the 'Chapter I' cell. Each player takes two character cards: one with the main heroes (choose - Traveler or Traveleress), the second - with one of the first companions (choose - Midnight Hero, Snowy Companion, Historian, and Demon Hunter). Place the cards in front of you with the chosen characters facing up. This is your starting squad. Extra cards of first companions can be added to the 'Encounter' deck and any side can be chosen when drawing. There can be no more than 4 heroes in the squad, counting the Traveler or Traveleress. Any of the companions can leave the squad, except for the main heroes.

Each companion's card indicates their element, role in the squad, special ability, power level (from 0 to 2), and health level (4 points). The greater the total power in the squad, the better the chances of defeating the enemies hiding in the 'Adventure' deck.

Defeats in battle and other negative effects of the world can deal damage to you. If a hero's health drops to zero, the card is discarded.

Roll the dice and move the rolled number of spaces in any direction. Depending on the picture on the cell of the board where the token stops, participants perform various actions.

If the cards in one of the decks run out, shuffle the discard cards of the respective deck and use them again.

Chapter II
Resistance Headquarters. Every time you stop on this cell, your companions fully restore their health, and all statuses are removed from them. Once per game, you can awaken all the 'Eyes of God' you have found here.

Chapter III
Abode of Eternity. If you reach this cell with a full squad (4 heroes), having awakened all the necessary 'Eyes of God' (7 tokens of various elements), you engage in battle with the cursed Shogun. Roll the dice. If the result on the dice exceeds the total Power of your companions, discard 2 any 'Eyes of God' tokens and return to the resistance headquarters (Chapter II). If the result on the dice is less than or equal to the total Power of the squad, you win the final battle.

END OF THE GAME
This family game ends when one of the players successfully defeats the Shogun in battle.

Endings
Since all players travel on the map in parallel realities, their stories can end differently. Your ending depends on what stage of the game you are at when the game ends.

Option 1
You managed to win the final battle.
When the forces are already waning, the 'Eyes of God' you awakened suddenly blaze, illuminating the Abode of Eternity with the colors of all elements. The will of those people whom you helped breaks through the walls that the Shogun erected around herself... She stops, and in her eyes, you notice no longer rage - but loneliness and sorrow. The curse is lifted. The hunt for the bearers of elemental powers has stopped, and the Shogun's country begins to revive after many trials.

Option 2
You reached the resistance headquarters but have not yet won the final battle.
The resistance forces grew, and together you tried to stand against the Shogunate soldiers but were defeated. You and your companions return to the headquarters. A new battle may not be soon, but it will definitely happen...

Option 3
You did not reach the resistance headquarters.

You and your companions managed to help many citizens of this country, but in the end, the ubiquitous soldiers of the Shogunate cornered you. You have no choice but to flee - and hope that one day you can return to lift the curse...
