Cabin Gameplay
Quick Start
Main Objective: Reveal at least 3 Trails and gather 10 Evidence (EV) before your rival Camper does!
- Build your Deck of exactly 50 cards using any number of Cryptids, Memories, Supplies, and Traps. Shuffle your deck and place it in the Deck Zone.
- Choose 10 Lanterns, shuffle them, and place them face-down in your Lantern Deck Zone.
- Choose 6 Trails and place each one face-down on a Site of your choosing.
- Choose 1 Unique Cryptid Companion and place it face-up in the Companion Zone.
- Each Camper rolls a die to determine who goes first.
- Both Campers draw 7 cards from their deck.
- Both Campers draw 1 Lantern and place it face-up in their Lantern Zone. (After the first turn, only the active Camper will do this.)
- The active Camper resolves the Start of the Day Phase in this order:
a. Reset: Switch all of their Lanterns to the “off” position (vertical).
b. Draw Lantern: Draw 1 Lantern and place it face-up in their Lantern Zone (Skip if this is the very 1st turn of the game).
c. Draw Card: Draw 1 card from their deck. - The active Camper resolves the Camp Phase.
a. Play: Pay the cost to immediately play a Memory, a Supply, a Cryptid with the “Swift” Trait, or
your Companion Cryptid.
b. Play: Pay the cost to reveal and play a face-down Cryptid they set.
c. Switch: Switch the battle mode (ATK/DEF) of any of their entities.
Note: You must pay 1 Vision of the same gem type as the card you are attempting to play.
Any remaining cost can be paid for with any Vision type. - The active Camper resolves the Adventure Phase.
a. Switch: Switch the battle mode (ATK/DEF) of any of their entities up until that Entity uses its
adventure action or the phase ends.
b. Move: Have an Entity use its adventure action to move from one Site to another.
c. Explore: Have a Cryptid use its adventure action to explore a Site.
d. Alternate Action: Use a Cryptid’s written effect that requires the use of an Adventure Action. - The active Camper resolves the End of Day Phase.
a. Set Entity: Place any Cryptids or Traps from your hand face-down, in any battle mode, into any
of your empty Sites.
b. Resolve: Resolve any effects that take place during this phase. - The game continues until a Camper reveals at least 3 Trails and gathers 10 Evidence. When this
happens, that Camper wins the game!

Movement
Movement occurs when an Entity, like a Cryptid or hidden Entity, uses its Adventure Action to move during the Adventure phase or is moved by a card effect. Entities have a default movement range of 1 space, allowing them to move to an adjacent Site.
Key Movement Rules:
- No Move Action into Rival Camp:
Your Entities can’t use their Move Action to enter a rival's Camp but can move back into your own. Card effects can override this. - Switching Places:
When moving into a Site occupied by another Entity, the two swap places, effectively moving both with one action. - Movement Range Increases:
Cryptids can extend their movement through effects, but hidden Entities can only extend their range through external effects.
