You may translate a Page Card at your current location. To translate, perform the following steps in order:

A Spend matching Madness Tentacles shown on the Page Card from your Temperance Tracks and place them on the Discard Mat. You may spend Chaos Tentacles as wild tentacles, and if spent they go to the general supply.

B Take the same number of Page Tokens shown on the Page Card and place them on the Necronomicon in the left-most spaces available for the numbers indicated on the Page Card.

C If a column or row of pages is completed, you gain a small bonus. Remove the associated Chaos Tentacle in that column or row and place it on the Discard Mat.

D Take the translated Page Card and place it next to your Player Mat. Start a column of Page Cards next to your Player Mat for each of the three colored runes shown on the Page Card. These runes will assist in Sealing the Portals (see Seal a Portal) once the Necronomicon has been completely translated.

E Draw a new Page Card from the deck, keeping it face-down, and replace the Page Card you just translated.

• Important: If you translated the last page of the Necronomicon, immediately flip the Great Old One Mat to its opposite side and move the Strength Token to the start of the Strength Track on the new side. Then place all tentacles on the Discard Mat and the Great Old One’s Energy Track into the Tentacle Draw Bag.

Note: Once all 25 pages of the Necronomicon have been translated, then Phase Two immediately begins and players can attempt to seal the portals!
