Add one in the lobby before the game starts, choosing its temperament: a HUNTER marches for treasure, a BERSERKER hunts wizards over gold, a WORRIER keeps its distance and guards what it has. Pick MYSTERY and the maze deals a temperament in secret — you'll have to read its play to guess its mood, and the roster only unmasks it (🎭) when the game ends.",

Every tier plays its cards correctly; none of them cheats, peeks, or rolls loaded dice.",
