Introduction
Welcome to Chibi Forge - a small but cute adventure board
game where players become heroes by joining forces against a
big bad boss and his minions.
Each month, the game will get updated with new heroes, new
monsters, and additional rules. We would also love to hear your
feedback after you play the game. Are the rules easy to follow?
Did all elements print out well? We are open to all your ideas
and suggestions that could improve your experience. We intend
for this game to be designed with the community and players
in mind. Even if it is just that one special hero you can’t wait to
see - be sure to let us know!
Thank you for supporting this project. We hope that you will
find some adorable fun and many opportunities to share your
hobby with the ones you love at Chibi Forge.

Game Setup
1. Create a Tier 1 deck by taking a Trader, a Resting Well, and
6 other random Tier 1 tiles. Shuffle them together and place
them face down, creating the first and the second row, with
4 Tiles in each row.
2. Create a Tier 2 deck by taking a Workshop and 7 other
random Tier 2 tiles. Shuffle them together and place them
face down, creating the third and the fourth row, with 4
Tiles in each row.
3. Choose a Boss to face in this playthrough and place its Lair
Tile above the fourth row. Take the Boss miniature and,
depending on the number of players, place it on the first
space of the Boss Track (2 players), the third space of the
Boss Track (3 players), or the fifth space of the Boss Track
(4+ players).
4. Depending on the Boss, take his two Melee Minion
miniatures and his two Ranged Minion miniatures and
place them on the corresponding Lair Tiles. Each Lair Tile
has four dedicated spaces, two for Melee Minions (Training
Dummy Tiles) and two for Ranged Minions (Shooting Range
Tile).
5. Place the Boss Card and all Monster Cards next to the
board.
6. Shuffle Treasure Cards to form a Treasure Deck. Place it
next to the board.
7. Gather all Tokens used in the game next to the board.
8. Each player chooses a Hero they want to play. They take
the corresponding Hero Card and place a Lock Token on
each ability. Place the corresponding Hero miniature at the
Starting Position located beneath the first row of Tiles.

Game Objective
Heroes win when they defeat the Boss. The Boss can be
attacked once he leaves the Boss Track. He does so either after
he reaches the twelfth space on the Boss Track or when a Hero
manages to breach a Wall of a Boss Lair and enter any Lair Tile.
Heroes will not stand a chance to defeat a Boss unless they
become stronger by collecting Treasures and unlocking Abilities.
Once the Boss leaves the Boss Track, the defeated Heroes will
run away instead of respawning. If all Heroes run away, the
Boss wins.
Round Sequence
1. Hero Phase - Heroes, one by one, perform their Turns in
which they can Move and Use Actions.
2. Boss Phase - Boss moves one space forward on the Boss
Track. Upon entering some spaces, he will roll the Spawn
Die to spawn Monsters on revealed Tiles or unleash Bosses’
unique ability.
3. Ambush Phase - All Monsters on the tiles with Heroes
attack them. The Heroes have no chance to defend or
retaliate against an Ambush attack. The attack is preceded
by all Minion Monsters located outside of the Boss Lair
moving toward the Heroes.
Hero Phase
During Hero Phase, the Players take Turns with their Heroes in
which they can Move and Use Actions.
There is no predetermined order in which Players take their
Turns. However, if more than one Player wants to go first (or
last), the Players should discuss which order will be more
beneficial. If they still cannot decide, the youngest Player
chooses an order.
Once a Player starts their Turn, they need to finish it before any
other Player can start their Turn. Once all Players finish their
Turns, Hero Phase ends and Boss Phase begins.
During a Hero’s Turn, the Player may:
• Move twice
• Use Action twice
There is no predetermined order in which Players may Move
and use Actions during Turn.
Example: Player may Move -> Use Action > Move > Use Action or
Move Twice and then use two Actions.
MOVE
To Move a Hero, a Player takes their Hero miniature and places
it on an adjacent Tile. Heroes cannot move diagonally.
At the start of the game and when a Hero is defeated, its
miniature is placed on the Starting Position outside of the Board
located beneath the first row of Tiles. When a Hero is at the
Starting Position, the only thing they can do when they start
their Turn is to use a Move to enter any Tile in the first row of
Tiles.
Heroes may move to any adjacent revealed or unrevealed Tiles.
When a Hero moves onto an unrevealed Tile, it is automatically
flipped to its revealed side. Depending on the Tile, some extra
effects may take place upon reveal. When there is a Dungeon
Icon on the top of the bottom left panel, place a Dungeon Token
on the Tile. If there is an Exclamation Mark on the top of the
bottom left panel, resolve an Encounter. An Encounter typically
means that extra Monsters Spawn on the Tile immediately or
the Hero loses HP. You will learn more about Tiles and their ‘on
reveal’ effects in the dedicated section.
Heroes can leave a Tile with Monsters on it. However, when
they do, they get Ambushed by all Monsters on the tile. You will
learn more about the Ambush attack in further sections.
USE ACTION
There are 5 different actions that Heroes can use.
• Quest Action: Exploration
• Quest Action: Tile Activation
• Combat Action
• Special Attack
• Ability
Quest Action
The Quest Action represents various adventures and quests a
Hero can embark on that are connected to the Tile they are on.
Quest Action can only be used once per turn and only when
there are no Monsters on the Tile. In the Quest Action, a Hero
can either explore the Dungeon located on the Tile (Exploration)
or activate a Tile’s innate effect that is different for each Tile
(Tile Activation).
Tile Activation in Quest Action
When a Hero decides to perform a Tile Activation in the Quest
Action, they resolve the innate effect of the Tile they are on.
In the bottom right panel of each Tile, there is a simplified
description of the Tile’s effect described with icons. The full
rules of each Tile’s innate effect are located in the Tile Section.
Example: Arwyn moves onto a revealed Lone Tree Tile with no
monsters on it and can now use a Quest action for Tile Activation.
Lone Tree’s innate effect grants 1 Coin for chopping down some
wood. Arwyn cannot use the Quest Action again this turn, even if
she moves to another Tile.
6
Tile Exploration in Quest Action
Tile Exploration in the Quest Action can only be used when
there is a Dungeon Token on the Tile. When the action is used,
the following things happen:
• Flip the Dungeon Token to the other side with the Treasure
Icon . You will only fight one monster at a time.
• Spawn the Monsters guarding the Treasure, presented in the
bottom left panel of the Tile. On some Tiles, no Monsters
are guarding the Treasure.
If a Hero, during their turn, is on a Tile with a Treasure Token
and there are no Monsters present, the Hero automatically
removes the Token and draws one Treasure from the Treasure
Deck for each Treasure Icon located in the bottom left panel.
Usually, using Tile Exploration will Spawn Monsters and the
Treasure cannot be picked up unless all Monsters on the Tile are
defeated. In order to defeat the Monsters, after using the Quest
Action, the player will have to use another action (Combat
Action), explained in the next section. It is entirely possible, that
despite one Player using the Quest Action followed by a Combat
Action to defeat some of the Monsters, another player will
swoop in in their turn, finish off the remaining monsters, and
pick up the Treasure.
Example: Arwyn uses a Quest Action to Explore a Tile with a
Dungeon Token on it. The Dungeon Token is flipped to the other
side with a Treasure Icon. However, in the bottom left panel,
there is a Dire Wolf Icon which means that 1 Wolf is Spawned on
the Tile. If Arwyn manages to defeat the Wolf in her next Action
this turn, she will claim it. There is no longer a Dungeon Token on
the Tile, so no Hero will be able to use Tile Exploration on this Tile
again.
Combat Action
When there is a Monster or multiple Monsters on a Tile with
a Hero, the Hero can use a Combat Action to attack. A single
round of Combat is resolved in a single roll.
1. Choose a Monster to attack.
2. Gather the dice you will roll.
First, sum up all Blue/Green dice from your Hero Card, Hero
Abilities, and collected Treasures. Then, check the Monster
Card and take the Black/Red dice shown in the upper panel
(below the Monster’s picture).
3. Roll all dice simultaneously.
4. Compare the initial results.
Sword results indicate that Hero will deal 1 damage to
a Monster, but they are negated by Shield with Sword
inside results.
Claw results indicate that a Monster will deal 1 damage
to a Hero, but they are negated by Shield with Claw inside
results.
5. Apply any bonus effects.
These effects can come from the Hero’s Abilities, Allies,
and Treasures. This includes re-rolling the dice, adding or
negating certain Results, and other effects.
6. Make the final comparison of the results.
Simultaneously, for each unnegated Sword place
1 Damage Token next to the Monster Miniature, and for
each unnegated Claw place 1 Damage Token on the
Hero Card. If the number of Damage Tokens next to a
Monster equals to or exceeded its remaining HP, remove
the Monster Miniature from the Tile. If the number of
Damage Tokens on the Hero Card equals to or exceeds
Hero’s HP, the hero is defeated and placed on the Starting
Position. You can learn more about what happens when
a Hero is defeated in the Hero Defeat section. Finally, if a
Hero has managed to defeat a Monster and survive, the
Hero collects the rewards shown on the Monster Card.
7. The First Round of Combat ends.
If there are no more Monsters on the Tile, the entire Combat
action also ends. However, if there are still Monsters on
the tile (either as a result of not dealing enough damage to
defeat the Monster or other Monsters being on the Tile),
you can choose to enter one more additional round of
combat as a part of the same Combat Action. The Second
Round of Combat is resolved in exactly the same way but
the Monster gets a free +1 Claw in their attack. After
the second round of combat, the entire Combat Action
always ends. Keep in mind that any ‘once per turn’ effects
used in the first round of combat do not transfer to the
second round. Heros cannot change their equipped Treasure
in-between the Combat rounds.
7
Example: Grull Player decides to Attack a Dark Knight (Melee Minion) on the Tile with him.
First, the player gathers all Hero Dice 2 Blue from the Hero Card and an additional Green from the equipped Warhammer
Treasure Card. Then, the player gathers all Monster Dice - Black and Red from the Monster Card. Player rolls the dice and
makes the initial comparison of the results.

VS

VS

Player has rolled 2 Sword results but the monster has 2 Shield results so Grull will deal no damage to the Monster.
Furthermore, the Monster has rolled a Claw result and the Player has no Shield results, so the Monster will deal
1 damage to the Hero.

Fortunately, Grull can still apply bonus effects that can turn the tide of the battle. Grull can reroll one die (blue or green) with his
unlocked Animal Instinct Passive Ability. He decides to reroll the blue die with a Blank result.

After the reroll, the results present like this:

VS

There are no more effects to be used, so it is time for the final comparison and dealing Damage. The extra sword from the reroll means
that Grull now has 3 Sword results to Monster’s 2 Shield results and he deals 1 Damage to it. The Dark Knight still has
1 Claw result to Grull’s 0 Shield results so he deals 1 Damage to Grull. A single Damage Token is placed on both.
But 1 Damage is not enough to defeat a Dark Knight, who has 2 HP.

Grull Player can now finish the Combat Action but there is still a Monster on the Tile with him, so he is allowed to enter the Second
Round of Combat as a part of the same Action. He decides to do so. In the Second round of Combat, Monsters always get a free
+1 Claw result but also Grull will now attack with a bonus, thanks to his unlocked Rage Passive Ability. Now that Grull has a
Damage Token on himself, he attacks with an extra Blue die. The dice for the second round of combat are rolled:

VS + FREE

Grull has 3 Sword results to Monster’s 1 Shield result and Monster has 2 Claw results to Grull’s 2 Shield results.
Grull could still reroll 1 die thanks to his Animal Instinct Passive Ability, but the result is already perfect, leading to 2 damage dealt to
the Monster and no HP lost by Grull this time. Now that the second Damage Token is placed on the Dark Knight, there is enough
to defeat him. Grull collects the Coins reward shown on the Monster Card.

Special Attack
Some Hero Abilities are Special Attacks, highlighted in red.
A player can use a Special Attack action against a Monster on
the Tile with them. Special Attack Action is resolved just as the
Combat Action with a few exceptions:
• Player uses only the Dice and/or fixed Results listed in the
Special Attack’s panel, not any other dice from the Hero
Card, other Hero Abilities, Treasures, etc.
• Player cannot apply any bonus effects (extra results,
rerolls, etc.) except for the ones listed in the Special
Attack’s panel.
• There is no second round of combat.
Example(1): Example: Reckless Swing Special Attack uses no
dice but rather gives guaranteed 3 Sword results. The
Dark Knight has two Black Monster Dice. The results of the
Special Attack are:
VS
As this is a Special Attack, Grull cannot add, negate, or reroll
any results with his items and other abilities. The results are
final, resulting in 2 damage dealt to a Monster and 1 damage
dealt to Grull, which results in defeating the Dark Knight (ranged
minion). As this was a Special Attack, there is no Second Round of
Combat.
Example(2): Arwyn has unlocked a Magic Missile Special Attack.
She can use it to attack a Monster on a Tile with her. In the
Attack, she will roll 3 Blue Dice and whatever Monster
Dice are listed in the upper panel on the Monster Card. She will
get three Rerolls for this attack as they are listed in the Magic
Missile’s panel but won’t be able to use any other rerolls and
bonus effects from her other Abilities and Treasures. As this is a
Special Attack, there will be no Second Round of Combat.
Ability
Heroes can use Ability Action, which allows them to use
unlocked Abilities from their Hero Cards, highlighted in blue.
These Abilities grant a variety of offensive, defensive, and
utility effects. Some abilities will also deal direct damage to
Monsters. Keep in mind that dealing damage to a Monster with
an Ability does not equal entering Combat with a Monster. The
monster does not defend nor retaliate.
Example(1): Player uses Fealic’s Hero Activated Ability Steady
Shot to roll one Blue die and deals 1 damage to a Monster on
an adjacent tile for each Sword result rolled.
Example(2): Player uses Fealic’s Hero Activated Ability Lightfoot
to Move Fealic to an adjacent Tile. This additional movement from
the ability follows the same rules as a regular Move. Effectively, it
means that after Fealic Moves twice in his Turn, he can then Use
Action to continue to Move.
Boss Phase
In the Boss Phase, move the Boss one space forward on the
Boss Track.
When the Boss enters a Boss Track space with a Spawn Die
icon during the Boss Phase, immediately roll the Spawn Die.
There are 6 different results:
• When a Square , Circle , Triangle , or
Star result is rolled, find all revealed Tiles with the
corresponding symbol in the upper left corner. On each
of these Tiles, Spawn the Monsters located next to the
symbol.
• Important: When the Boss is still on space 1 - 6 of the Boss
Track and you roll the Spawn Die, do not Spawn Monsters
on the four Lair Tiles located inside the Boss Lair even
when the corresponding symbol is rolled. Start doing so,
only once the Boss reaches space 7.
• When a Blank result is rolled, the Heroes take a lucky break
and no new Monsters spawn this Round.
• When a Boss Head result is rolled, activate the Boss
Effect located on the Boss Monster Card that is different
for each Boss.
Final Fight
If the Boss Phase begins with the Boss located on the 12th
space, the Final Fight begins.
During the Final Fight:
• In the Boss Phase, the Boss moves three Tiles toward the
closest Hero. If there are 2 or more Heroes at the same
distance or there is more than one path that leads to a
Hero, the Players decide toward who and how the Boss
moves.
• In the Boss Phase, the Boss no longer rolls the Spawn Die
to Spawn Monster and activate Boss Effect.
• In the Ambush Phase, the Minions that were located on the
Lair Tiles begin moving toward the Heroes. See more in the
Ambush section.
• Heroes run away when defeated. They do not return to the
Starting Position. For the Heroes who ran away, the game is
over, but other Heroes can still defeat the Boss to achieve
Victory for everyone. When all Heroes run away, the game
ends in Defeat. Better luck next time, Chibis!
9
Ambush Phase
In the Ambush Phase, all Monsters located on the Tiles with
heroes sneak up and attack them. Additionally, the Minion
Monsters (but not the Neutral Monsters) move 1 Tile towards
the closest Hero.
Monster Movement
• First, at the beginning of the Ambush Phase, move all
Minion Monsters (Ranged and Melee Minions) located
outside of the Lair one space towards the closest Hero.
• Starting with turn 7, the Boss can Spawn additional Minion
Monsters on the Lair Tiles. In the Ambush Phase, if there
are 2 Minions on the same Lair Tile, one of them moves to
the adjacent fourth-row Tile.
Hero Defeat
When the number of Damage Tokens on the Hero equals to or
exceeds their HP, they are defeated.
Immediately place the Hero miniature on the Starting Position
and remove all Damage Tokens from it. It loses all remaining
actions and cannot perform its Turn until the next Hero Phase.
The Hero keeps all Treasure, Coins, and unlocked Abilities.
When a Hero is defeated, move the Boss one space forward on
the Boss Track. If by moving this way the Boss enters a space
that would trigger a Spawn Die roll or another effect, ignore it.
If the Boss is already on the 12th space of the Boss Track, do
not move him, the Boss will trigger the Final Fight in the next
Boss Phase.

• During the Final Fight, all Minions, including the ones on

the Lair Tiles move 1 space toward the closest Hero.

• If there are two or more Heroes at the same distance from

a Minion or there is more than one path that the Minion
can take to get closer, the Players decide toward which
Hero they move and which path they take. If the Players
cannot reach an agreement, the youngest Player decides.

Ambush Attack
After the Monsters have moved, each Monster attacks the Hero
that is on the Tile with them with their Ambush Attack located
in the bottom panel of the Monster Card (Ambush attacks
usually have names). Heroes do not roll the Hero Dice and
cannot use any Abilities or Treasures to prevent the damage
from that attack unless the effect specifically mentions an
Ambush Attack. Place 1 Damage Token on the Hero for each
Claw result from the Ambush Attack.

If there are multiple Heroes on a Tile with a Monster, the player

may decide which Hero is attacked. The Players can also choose
an order in which the Monsters attack. If the Players cannot
reach an agreement, the youngest Player decides.

Important! Some Ambush attacks of Minions have a Range

Icon which means that the Monster can Ambush Attack a
Hero on an adjacent space.

10

Boss Lair Walls

Heroes cannot enter the Lair Tiles from the fourth row of Tiles
before the 7th Turn and without breaching the Walls first. Each
Wall segment is separate and destroying it allows only to move
between the Tiles it was interjecting. Boss and Minions can
move through Walls freely.

The Walls have 5 HP. They can be damaged with a Ballista from
the Workshop Tile Activation (3 Damage) or with an attack
from an adjacent Tile. A Hero can use a Combat action to deal
1 damage to a Wall. When Damage is dealt to a Wall, place the
Damage between the Tiles. Once there are 5 Damage Tokens
there, the Wall is destroyed and Heroes can move between the
Tiles.

Entering the Lair

When a Hero manages to enter the Lair, The Final Fight begins
at the next Boss Phase. Deal 1 damage to the Boss for each
space the Boss has not yet traveled on the Boss Track.

Dice
In the game, there are 5 Dice types. 2 types of Hero Dice ,
2 types of Monster Dice , and a Spawn Die . We
recommend having 1 Spawn Die and ~5 dice of each remaining type
to ensure smooth gameplay. The dice can either be 3D printed, or 2D
printed on the sticker paper to modify regular D6 dice, or you can
use plain D6 dice and compare the results with the chart below (also
available in a separate PDF).
