Primer:I wanted to add a little more detail while still maintaining the same simple mechanic. Mostly it's enhancements to add some depth, a little reality and to enable a few situations. Generally speaking, this is based on the EU rules, will use both EU, NA and custom cards treasure / equipment / quest treasure cards and uses NA monster statistics

Carried ItemsCarried and Equipped ItemsA character may only equip one single handed weapon and one shield at a time. A torch may be equipped with a shield or single handed weapon. Equipped items are placed in front of your character card. All other items are placed behind your character card. Characters may change equipped weapons once on their turn and only if they haven't used their action. Changing equipped weapons does not constitute an action. Potions do not need to be equipped to be used nor does using potions constitute an action
Passing Items Between CharactersTo pass items between characters requires the characters to be adjacent or diagonal to each other. Items may only passed if they haven't used their action
TorchIf a torch is equipped, it is lit. When the holder of the lit torch has their turn, a combat test is taken -
= torch burning down. On the third
, the torch is extinguished and discarded
CombatTarget limited to range of weapon as identified on weapon cards. Possible combinations are;
• adjacent
• diagonal
• adjacent / diagonal
• ranged
• 2nd rank (pike / halberd)
Additional situations;If your movement roll is higher than your charging number, then you may roll an additional attack die as you're trying to take advantage of charging into a monster and knocking it off balance
If you are attacked while a bow is equipped, you defend with one less combat die. If you receive damage, you may choose to take one body point less but your bow breaks
If you are attacked with a torch equipped and without a weapon equipped, you defend with one less combat die. If you receive damage, your torch is destroyed
If you are attacked by a monster while a 2nd rank weapon is equipped, you defend with one less combat dieDead Monsters;When monsters dies, a token is left to mark the place of the body and a hero may loot it if no monsters are present.The hero moves through the square to loot it and the token is removed without penalty. A loot card is drawn to determine what is found. Undead don't carry anything unless noted otherwise and tokens that become out of sight are removed
DoorsDoors are discovered closed unless noted otherwise. Some doors may be locked and require the correct key or use the Genie spell to be opened. Some doors may be jammed and unless they are charging, require a combat test as their action to be opened -
= success
SearchingSearching in a corridor;- player announces they are searching
- they move half the number of squares that they roll (rounded up)
- they reveal both traps and secret passages as they go
- human's see one square away
- the Elf and Dwarf see two squares away
- having a torch equipped doubles a hero's searching distance
- you may search if a monster is present in the corridor but you must stop searching if you move within four squares of it
Searching in a room;Unless a chest is present, specifically searching a room for treasure is as per original rules. To open a chest you must be adjacent to it. You may still search for treasure in a room with a chest however unless noted otherwise, you take a combat test to determine the outcome -
= room empty,
= treasure card,
= wandering monster
Specifically searching a room for traps and secret passages is as per original rules. A player searching in a corridor may not continue searching in a room they enter on that turn.
Unless noted otherwise, secret passages are opened when discovered and may be found on both sides of the wall
Thorough Search;It is also possible to make a thorough search where they search for treasure, traps and secret passages at the same time. This requires a full turn by the hero so they may only do this at the start of their turn. If a treasure card is required (as per quest notes), it is placed on the hero's character card and revealed on their following turn
TrapsSpear and falling block traps are as per original rules
• removing traps is an action however a chests etc contents are revealed once the trap is removed or activated
• if a toolkit is used to remove (permanently close) a pit trap, a combat test is required -
= pit stuck permanently open
Additional Traps• projectile traps
AmbushAn unrevealed monster may ambush a hero if the hero walks past a corner and the monster is placed adjacent to the hero and the hero hasn't rolled a charging roll. The ambushing monster attacks immediately and unless the hero approached the corner while searching, they defend with one less combat die. If a hero stops their movement immediately before a corner and there is an unrevealed monster diagonally around the corner, the monster may immediately move to be adjacent and ambush the hero. A heroes turn ends after being ambushed
Equipment RestrictionsPreliminary table for equipment and weapon restrictions. Original as per EU rules with
x indicating a change
