Example: Kratos would like to move to the column to his right, but with Freya and Brok there, there are no available spaces he can occupy.
Kratos then decides to move to the column on the far right. He places his standee there, and after discussing with Atreus, he takes the front
position. Sindri is now the only Hero in the leftmost column, and therefore assumes the front position.

PLAY ACTION CARDS

The player can play as many Action cards and sets (see below) as they wish (and are able) during their turn. After resolving each action, the played cards and/or
sets are discarded into the player’s own discard pile. Players are allowed to discuss openly which cards they have in hand and plan their actions together.

• Action cards
There are 5 different kinds of Action cards: Melee (red cards), Ranged
(yellow cards), Defense (blue cards), Special (purple cards), and Number
(black cards). Some cards include a combination of kinds (for example
Melee + Number), and some cards are wild, and show different options of
Actions (for example, Melee OR Attack) that can be used. Whenever a Hero
plays a wild card they must announce which option they are choosing to use.

In order to perform a , or , or action, they must be accompanied
by 1 or more Numbers, either on their own card, or in a combination of cards,
called Action sets. The strength of the Action is the combined value of the played
numbers. This means , or , or can’t be played alone, unless they are
accompanied by a Number.
