First, choose a difficulty for Otto: [Easy, Normal, Hard]. Any time you see text like this [E1, N2, H3], it is referring to the difficulty level that you chose.

Set up the Adventure board, the main deck, and your own pieces as normal.

After choosing your Initiate Villager, perform the following setup steps for Otto:

1) Shuffle the Theme Deck that you did not choose, and set it aside as Otto’s personal deck.

2) From Otto’s deck, reveal the top 8 cards. Otto will play [E1, N1, H2] of these cards, one at a time, by following these rules:

- If there are any Villagers remaining, Otto plays the Villager with the highest cost.

Do not place Supplies on this card.

- If there are no Villagers remaining, Otto plays the Gear card with the highest Supply value. Place Supplies on this card as normal.

If there is a tie, choose randomly from among the tied cards.

3) Trash the remaining cards in a random order.

4) Choose one of the two remaining Initiate Villagers for Otto to play, and Trash the other.

Do not place Supplies on this card.

5) You take the first turn.
