How to play ?

Your HQ is located in a safe place near Ancedale. In this base of operations, you will create the cure by validating various objectives, prepare your expeditions but also spend your money and experience points on permanent improvements.

In Ancedale's Hope, expeditions are at the heart of the game. But beware, your time is limited, you only have 10 days to find resources, complete the various objectives and finally evacuate the island before the virus infects you too.

An expedition consists of 3 steps:

• First: roll the single colored dice to find out the position of arrival on the island. Then roll 2x all 4 dice of the same color to determine the strength of the island's watchtowers
• How a day unfolds: At the beginning of each day, during your expedition, roll all 5 dice. The single colored dice will determine the direction of the watchtower's view. The 4 dice of the same color will be used for your movements and for the items collected during that day. Simply note your movement on the map and mark the areas you have searched. At the end of the day you should have enough resources (food and water). In some cases you will also need to find a warm place to shelter from the cold before nightfall. If not, your health will be diminished.
• At the end of an expedition: this one can be a real success or an abject failure. Fail and you will lose all the resources collected during the expedition. Succeed and you can bring them back to the safety of your HQ.
