FLYING PTERODACTYLS Centurions may move into and out of locations containing pterodactyl tokens and may do activities at locations as usual. The pterodactyls are hovering and only impact play during the Dealing with Danger step! DEALING WITH DANGER SWOOP & FLY! The pterodactyls swoop! If your Centurion is on a location with a pterodactyl at the beginning of the Dealing with Danger step, the winged beast steals one clue! Take one clue from your passport and place it on Lundy Island. If you do not have a clue, take one clue from the pile and place it on Lundy Island. After the pterodactyl steals one clue, it flies away. Move the pterodactyl to any other location, including the Century Club sections. You may not place a pterodactyl token on a location already containing a pterodactyl token. The player who lost the clue decides where the pterodactyl flies. Centurions may move into and out of locations containing saurian agent tokens and may do activities at locations as usual. The saurians are stalking and only impact play during the Dealing with Danger step! DEALING WITH DANGER PSYCHIC ATTACK! The saurian agents attack with mind powers! If your Centurion is on a location with a saurian agent at the beginning of the Dealing with Danger step, the saurian steals one clue! Take one clue from your passport and place it on Lundy Island. If you do not have a clue, take one clue from the pile and place it on Lundy Island. If your location had multiple saurians on it, each saurian steals one clue. After the saurian agent steals one clue, the agent then travels elsewhere. Move the saurian agent left, right, up or down to an adjacent location. Saurians may travel to the Century Club sections. You may place a saurian agent token on a location already containing a saurian. (They stack.) The player who lost the clue decides where the saurian moves. If there are multiple Centurions and multiple saurians on the same location, the impacted players take turns moving saurian tokens until there are none left on their location. The player closest clockwise to the first player gets first choice. Multiple Centurions attacked by the same dinosaur? The dinosaur steals one clue from each Centurion! Afterward, the player closest clockwise to the first player moves the dinosaur. Moving dinosaurs each round is meant to be fast-paced. If you want to slow down, it s okay to move tokens in clockwise order from the first player instead of at the same time. AMELIA STONE A strong-willed heroine known for bold actions! 4
