Intro.13

Face a Minor Creature.

△ FACE A CREATURE

When instructed to Face a Minor Creature, reveal Creature Cards until you reveal a Minor Creature. Place the other revealed cards at the bottom of the deck. RESIDUE does not use discard piles.

△ ATTACK

To attack, Commit Attack.

  • Place 1 die from your Endurance Pool in the Attack slot on your Player Board.
  • Check its Value against the Success Table. Each ★ becomes 1 Damage.
  • Reduce the Damage by the Creature’s Defense. Damage cannot be reduced below 0.
  • Example: 3 Damage against Defense ★ deals 2 Damage.

△ RETALIATION

  • After you Commit Attack, if the Creature is still alive, it Retaliates—even if you dealt 0 Damage.
  • When a Creature Retaliates, it deals the Damage shown on its card.
  • You may Commit Defense once against that Retaliation.

△ DEFENSE

  • To defend, place 1 die from your Endurance Pool in the Defense slot on your Player Board.
  • Each ★ blocks 1 Damage.

△ NO DICE LEFT

  • If you must Commit and have no dice in your Endurance Pool, gain 1 Strain to recover your committed dice. Roll the recovered dice into your Endurance Pool.
  • If you have no committed dice to recover, you are defeated.
  • At any time, you may gain 1 Strain to recover any or all committed dice. Roll them into your Endurance Pool.

For this fight, continue until you or the Creature reaches 0 HP. You will learn how to Run later.
