INTRODUCTION
Neuroshima HEX is a game of tactics, where armies wage continuous
battles against each other. It is based on a roleplaying game called Neuroshima
RPG published by Portal in 2001. While being familiar with the RPG is not
necessary, the players will find it easier to identify with their armies if they
have read or played the game.
The world of Neuroshima RPG is that of a post-apocalypse world torn apart
35 OUTPOST army tiles
by a war between humans and machines. The remains of humanity took shel-
ter in the ruins of cities and organized in small communities, gangs and armies.
Conflicts between such groups are not uncommon and the reasons of such are
numerous: territory, food or equipment. What is more, the ruined cities are
constantly patrolled by machines sent from the north, where a vast cybernetic
entity, called MOLOCH, appeared. Great wastelands that surround what was
left of the greatest cities are home to another enemy - BORGO - a charismatic
leader who controls an army of gruesome mutants. One of the last hopes of
humanity is the OUTPOST, a perfectly organized army which wages a guerilla
war against MOLOCH. Nevertheless, most human settlements, including the
HEGEMONY, are not concerned with war until it comes banging at their door.
Such is the world of Neuroshima.

each player separates their HQ tile from the remaining ones (you can distinguish
them by a different back) and shuffles the tiles thoroughly.
In his turn a player draws UP TO three tiles (i.e. under no condition can he have
more than three tiles in front of himself), and puts them face up in front him.
Then, after the tiles have been drawn, the player must discard one of the three ti-
les (usually the least useful one) aside into the discard pile. Then he decides what
to do with the remaining two tiles - he can use them, keep them for the following
turns, or discard them.

choose a starting player or the starting player may be chosen randomly.

It is absolutely essential to shuffle the tiles before each game session. During the game, tiles are discarded to a discard pile in groups (e.g. several Unit Tiles or
several Instant Action Tiles in a row). If the tiles are not shuffled, it can lead to a series of similar tiles being drawn each turn, and thus making it difficult to
perform a reasonable action on the board.

depicted, while Unit Tiles contain more information. Battles are divided into «phases» according to Initiative values presented on
tiles. If the number printed on the tile is 3 - this tile is the first to act, then it is
Here are some examples of the two tile types: followed by those with Initiatives of 2, 1 and finally 0.

In each phase of the Battle, players’ units of the same Initiative act simultane-
ously. E.g. if two units with Initiative values of 3 shoot at each other, they both
get hit and die. If two units shoot at the same target in one phase, they hit the
target simultaneously (both attacks strike home and none of the projectiles
passes through).
Example of Instant Action Tiles
Dead/destroyed units remain on the board until the end of the phase they were
killed/destroyed (you can turn them face down). After all actions in the phase
have been carried out, dead units are removed and put on the discard pile.

When a unit is wounded but not destroyed (because it has more Toughness -
or Wound - points available) put a wound marker on it to indicate that it has
been hit (except for the HQ, it’s damage is marked on the counter).
HQ Warrior Module
Example of Unit Tiles Modules and Net Fighters stop affecting other units the moment when they
are removed from the board at the end of the phase, not when hit.
Both types of tiles can only be used in the players’ own turns. Under no cir-
cumstances can tiles be played during any other player’s turn.

VICTORY

The game ends after the Final Battle or when the Toughness points of an HQ
are reduced to zero.

If one of the HQs is destroyed, the game ends and the player whose HQ su-
rvived wins.

If any of the HQs is destroyed during a Battle, the Battle goes on as usual. If the
other HQ is destroyed as well, the game finishes with a draw.

If none of the HQs is destroyed and the Final Battle has been fought, the
player whose HQ has more Toughness points left is the winner.

If both HQs have the same number of points remaining, each player takes one
more turn as if the game continued in the normal way (if a player has no more
tiles left to draw, he can only use abilities of the tiles on the board, e. g. unit’s
Mobility). Then an additional Battle begins. If both HQs still have the same
number of points remaining after this additional Battle, the game actually ends
with a draw.

TIPS FOR THE BEGINNERS

If after the first few plays the game seems too chaotic to you, we recommend you to play more to get to know the game better. During the next plays try to use the
army reference charts which allow you to maximally take advantage of probability and risk, and to play more tactically.
If you feel that some armies are stronger, others weaker, we recommend you to play a lot more - some armies are just easier, others a little more difficult to learn
(e.g. easy Borgo, quite easy Moloch, more difficult Hegemony and the Outpost).
Do not worry if you draw only Instant Action Tiles during one turn - remember about the Unlucky Draw rule. Do not worry if you draw only Modules in one turn,
because it’s worthy to place them around the HQ to protect it.

MORE TACTICAL GAME

Alternative start. At the beginning the game: Player One draws three tiles from his pile. Then he has to discard one and from the remaining two he chooses one tile to
be used. He can also save it or discard it if he wants to. The other tile can be only saved for later or discarded. Next, starting with Player Two, players draw up to three
tiles, choose one to discard and then can use, save for the next turn or discard the remaining two tiles.

Reinforcement rule. If you think there is too much randomness in the game and you want to reduce it, you can play with the following rule: In your turn, instead of 3,
draw up to 6 tiles, discard one and play a maximum of two tiles, any other you can save for later or discard.

 TILE DESCRIPTIONS
There are four army decks in the game. Each deck consists of 35 tiles which are UNIT TILES
marked appropriately on their rear sides to indicate which army they belong to.

Unit tiles, as opposed to Instant Action tiles, are ones that can be placed on
the game board. There are 3 types of Unit Tiles: Headquarters, Warriors and
Modules.

When used, tiles affect all types of Unit tiles (unless specified otherwise in a

For better understanding, in the following section teammate’s units are called
friendly units.
• Module and HQ bonuses also affect friendly units.
• Move and Push Back actions cannot be used on friendly units.
• Friendly units cannot be hit with teammate’s ranged or melee attacks.
Shots go through them.
• Net Fighters do not disable friendly units.
• The first team to destroy any enemy HQ wins the game. If none of the
HQs is completely destroyed, the team with a higher total of remaining
Toughness points (the team whose HQs sustained less damage) wins.
• If two opposing HQs are destroyed in one battle, the remaining two
HQs are taken into consideration and the one with more Toughness
points remaining wins.
• The Final Battle: If any of the players draws his last tile from the pile, the
others complete their own turns as usual, and only then does the Final
Battle start.

Moloch in a Team Match

Moloch is a unique army in the game. Its units hit and damage friendly units
as usual, but Modules and the HQ give them bonuses. Moloch’s army can also
use Modules and HQ bonuses from the allied army. Additionally, Moloch’s
allies can push back its units, be pushed back by them, and always disable each
other’s units with a Net.

2. Deathmatch
The rules are the same as in the 3-player Deathmatch mode.

3. Deathmatch with an optional score rule

The rules are the same as in the 3-player Deathmatch mode with and optional
score rule.

Expanded Battlefield
The main game board consists of 19 hexes set in the middle of the board.
Around it you can find a single circle of additional eighteen hexes (see Board
description on page XX). We suggest to use it during the game of five or even
six players. In a 4-player game, however, players can also agree to use the
expanded battlefield.
When playing on the expanded board, the Battle still commences as soon as
the main board is filled up.
