	Description Edit \| History

This game reuses the theme & mechanics of Return of the Heroes, and can be played either as a standalone 2-player game or combined with the original set for a 5-6 player game.

This time, the heroes must find one of three magic weapons that will allow them to defeat an evil dragon. If combined with the base game, a hero can win by defeating either the dragon or the Nameless.

RotH and UtSotD Reference

This is a combined reference, mainly focused on the counters. It does not have all rule questions, but it does try to collect all the rules specific to counters and maps. It covers RotH and UtSotD, as this is what I own. It is not small - there is 14 pages. I printed it doublesided and stapled it at the side. Corrections and feedback is appreciated. I want this to be correct.

Exactly the same as RueckkehrUndDrachen.pdf (Version 1.3) posted by BilboAtBagEnd as fileID 8380 (See earlier files before RueckkehrUndDrachen.sxw), but as 2 columns on most pages, reducing it from 30 pages to 20 pages. Send tips to BilboAtBagEnd.
