Lemming Reavers: LR "Lemming Reavers"

LR. Lemming Reavers

LR.1 OVERVIEW

The Lemming Reavers are nomads desperate to survive a brutal upcoming winter. They hunt for supplies in the form of CACHES scattered throughout the Woodlands. They grant powerful boons and victory points to the Lemmings, but other factions can claim them as their own. As they spread across the map, they must manage their UPKEEP and protect their ENCAMPMENTS from enemy raiders.

LR.2 FACTION RULES AND ABILITIES

LR.2.1

Crafting.

The Lemmings craft during Daylight by activating encampments.

LR.2.2

Caches.

The Lemmings have eight cache tokens, two of each type.

Removal Condition.

Caches can only be removed or moved by a player if no other enemy pieces are in the clearing.

Clearing the Clearing.

If an enemy uses an effect that removes all enemy pieces (such as Revolt), and a cache would be the only enemy piece remaining, they remove the cache as well.

Clockwork Cache Removal.

If a bot would target a cache for battling or removal effects while other enemy pieces are in the cache’s clearing, they ignore the cache and choose another target.

Scouting Reward.

When another player removes a cache off the map, they immediately trigger its removal effect and you score one victory point.

Provisions Removal.

The player removing the cache may place two warriors in the clearing from which the cache was removed, or they may flip an exhausted item face up on their faction board.

Depot Removal.

The player removing the cache may take a move or initiate a battle in any clearing.

Reserve Removal.

The player removing the cache scores one extra victory point (two in total) (3.2.1 - Removing Buildings and Tokens.)

Loot Removal.

The player removing the cache draws one card.

LR.2.3

Encampments.

The Lemmings have 5 encampments.

Raided.

When an encampment is removed, the Lemmings return a cache from their faction board back to the supply.

LR.2.4

Upkeep.

The Lemmings cannot place warriors if they would have 10 or fewer warriors remaining in their supply. This limit is decreased by 5 warriors for each provisions token on their faction board.

Idle Warriors.

The Lemmings may store warriors from your supply in the Idle Warriors box. Warriors there are still in their supply; it is purely cosmetic and serves as a reminder for the Upkeep.
