THE GOLDEN SOLO RULESET

HERO DECK GAMEPLAY

VARIANT OVERVIEW
1. Set the mastermind, scheme and villain decks up per
the standard two player rules
2. Choose Standard Base (5 heroes) or Quick Play (3
heroes) mode and create the hero deck.
START OF ROUND (REPEAT TILL WIN OR LOSE):
3. Draw your hand of 6 cards
4. Draw 1 hero card and add it to HQ following the
same rules as the villain city track (Skip on first
round)
5. Draw 2 villain cards and resolve
6. Play your 6 cards as per the rules
WIN CONDITION: Defeat the Mastermind 4 times
LOSE CONDITION: Scheme triggers
ULTIMATE KO & VICTORY: Defeat the Mastermind 4 times
& win Final Showdown!
HQ NEW RECRUITS: At start of round you'll be drawing one
new hero card to add to HQ. The new hero card goes in the
rightmost spot of HQ and pushes all existing cards to your
left. The card in the leftmost
most spot is then pushed out of HQ
and removed from the game. This keeps the cards available in
HQ fresh and puts a timer on how long you have to recruit
before a hero is deployed to fight other evils invading the
city! SKIP THIS STEP ON THEE FIRST ROUND.
HQ REFILL: Per the rules, refill HQ after recruiting a hero or a
villain triggered KO. But instead of refilling the spot the card
was removed from, place the new card in the rightmost spot
of HQ and slide all other cards to your left. HQ operates
identical to the villain city track when new heroes are added.
VILLAIN DECK GAMEPLAY
When drawing from the villain deck at the start of each round
draw TWO cards instead of one.

escape!
The term "Other Player" is represented by the hero deck. For
example, if the text says each "other player" KO's a card or NOTES

hero deck being KO'd or cycled to the bottom. SCHEMES NOT RECOMMENDED DED FOR QUICK PLAY
