NovaRules. A complete rewrite of the Return of the Heroes rulebook, with margins set for double-sided printing. Version 1.0. Replaces the Rulebook, the Glossary, and the Set-Up insert. Includes a list of mis-prints, for easy reference.
Thanks! This is a HUGE improvement on the original rules. My son and I tried to play with the original rules and it was a disaster. We will try our next game using these.
Thanks for taking the time to write the rules in a format that I can more easily digest!
I have to admit that I (and my daughter) really enjoyed reading the rules as they are written with the game, but after reading them, I was left with many questions, so your rewrite has been a big help in clarifying my outstanding questions and will hopefully make our first game much more enjoyable.
I would change one thing on setup though, being that players cannot start on board H or J (rather than H or N).
There is nothing really special about board N (the temple), however board J (the capital) is quite significant, it's where you go to get heroic quests, it has the better market and one of the trainers.
A bit too good for a starting position if you ask me.
By the way, just a note to say that my son and I successfully played the game twice last year using your version of the rules. Thanks. (we just haven't had a good time to play it again since then).

This makes sense. It's not an official rule, but I think I'll add it in the next version. Granted, someone will always be closer to J than others, but actually starting on it might be unbalanced.
