Rise of the Centipedes creates a solitaire or cooperative game where the ants battle an invading Centipede Horde. The centipedes are overrunning the Meadow, and the ants must defend The Great Tunnel.

Rise of the Centipedes is played with the standard March of the Ants rules, with these changes and additions. The Centipede Mat is on the reverse side of the fifth player Nest Mat and outlines the rules.

Remove the cards marked with a centipede icon from the deck. Shuffle them and place them next to the Centipede Mat to create the Centipede Deck. Shuffle the remaining cards and set them next to the play area as the player deck. …

Ships Placement

Just like real-life naval conflicts, many Battleship matches are won or lost before the first shot is fired. Getting your ship placement right is crucial.

The object of placing your ships on the board is to make your opponent not able to find all of them. The best way is to place your fleet randomly. All other placement guidelines are based on guessing how your opponent will attack.

1. Don't place your ships touching each other

   An opponent who scores a hit on your grid will likely circle that point looking for the rest of the ship. If your opponent finds two ships at once, you've just lost an extra ship. …

As soon as you find an Item or Omen, you have access to the actions on your Family card other than ATTACK. Items, Omens, and tiles will grant you additional actions. You can take the actions granted by Items or Omens only while you are carrying them and they are unused, and can take the actions granted by tiles only while you are on those tiles. Most haunts will also give you actions you will use to win the game.

Actions available are listed in ALL CAPS, followed by any restrictions (such as where or when), any rolls you must make, any bonuses or restrictions to those rolls, then the effect of the action. …

The Event cards represent many of the fortunate (or unfortunate) episodes in The Lord of the Rings, as well as special items, unexpected occurrences, and "what if"s.

Event Decks

Each player receives two decks of Event cards: his Strategy deck (represented graphically by an army banner) and his Character deck (represented graphically by a sword). …

When you receive your property cards, you can begin planning your game strategy. When you place your initial neighborhood, it may be good strategy to place it so two of your properties are adjacent to each other.

For example, if you hold properties 14 and 37, you should try to place neighborhood 3 next to neighborhood 1 so that 14 and 37 are adjacent. This will give you a pair of adjacent properties you may use to build a double-sized building either as your first building or to save for the high scoring shopping center later in the game. …
