In this version of the game, one player becomes the Overlord and takes command of the Monsters while the other players work together to defend Castle Bravehold.

The Overlord player’s turn consists of these 3 steps in this order :

1. Move Monsters

2. Draw up to a hand of 3 Monster tokens

3. Play Monster tokens

The Overlord takes his or her turn at the end of each Castle player’s turn, replacing phases 5 and 6 of that Castle player’s turn. After a Castle player has played their cards in phase 4, that Castle player’s turn ends. The Overlord player’s turn now begins.
