Intruder Setup

Shuffle Sangrevore Exploration deck; place face down with discard space.
Separate Sangrevore tokens by type; shuffle each pile; place model-icon side up.
Fill Intruder bag: 1 Blank, 2 Blood Specter tokens, 3 random Ghoul tokens + 1 extra Ghoul per Character.
Place all Sangrevore models nearby.
Shuffle Sangrevore Attack and Event decks separately; place face down.
Shuffle King Health cards numbers-down onto Queen Health space of Section 'C' border; place Universal marker on '0' of Queen's Hits track.
Place Sangrevore Help sheet 'The King is Alive' side up near the bag.

Additional Setup

Shuffle Shadow deck; place face down near Exploration deck (replaces Contamination deck).
Shuffle Infection deck; place on right side of Facility (replaces Contamination deck position).
Shuffle Tainted Blood deck; place near Serious Wound deck.

Movement does NOT trigger a Noise roll — place 1 Shadow marker in each adjacent Corridor instead (except the one just moved through) [p.3 — Movement Sequence]
If moving through Shadow markers, draw 1 Shadow card and resolve by number of markers passed; discard markers [p.3 — Movement Sequence]
Moving Cautiously: place a marker in destination room, skip Shadow card draw, leave Shadow markers in place [p.3 — Movement Sequence]
Opportunity Attacks trigger for Intruders in same Room or target Corridor (max 3 attacks, largest first) [p.3 — Movement Sequence]
Infections in hand may be played for their bottom effect (costs 1 Action) or discarded when Passing (lose 1 per pass) [p.4 — Infections]
Tainted Blood Ability: usable once per Round, costs an Action [p.4 — Tainted Blood]

Action	Effect	Limit
Move	Move through Corridor; resolve Shadow markers if not Cautious	Per move rules
Move Cautiously	Move without resolving Shadow markers; place marker in room	Per move rules
Burst Shadow markers	Apply Hits to Shadow markers, removing them; no other effect	Uses ammo
Play Infection (bottom effect)	Remove Infection from deck	1 Action, once per card
Discard Infection (on Pass)	Discard any number of Infections; lose 1 per discard	Only when Passing
Rest (card)	Discard any number of Infections from hand to discard pile	No extra cost
Tainted Blood Ability	Use Active Tainted Blood card's special Ability	Once per Round

Sangrevore Intruder hierarchy: Ghouls = Adults, Blood Specters = Drones, King = Queen equivalent; no Larvae [p.4 — Intruders]
Opportunity Attacks: resolve for each Intruder in same Room or target Corridor; max 3 attacks; largest Intruders first [p.3 — Movement Sequence]
Being attacked may result in gaining Infection cards (shuffled into Action deck) or losing Tainted Blood cards [p.4 — Infections / Tainted Blood]
Shadow marker limit: max 3 per Corridor; placing a 4th replaces ALL with 1 Blood Specter [p.3 — Shadow Markers Limit]
Each Hit in a Corridor may be applied to 1 Shadow marker, removing it [p.3 — Movement Sequence]
When discarding Tainted Blood: always discard the bottom-most card in the stack [p.4 — Tainted Blood]

Trigger: same as base game (Characters Escape or Hibernate) [p.4 — End of the Game]

End Sequence (surviving Characters only)

Any Character with Infection cards (deck, hand, or discard) performs Eclosion Procedure — drawing an Infection card = death [p.4 — End of the Game]
Surviving Characters reveal and check their Objective (choose now if not yet chosen) [p.4 — End of the Game]
Characters who completed their Objective win [p.4 — End of the Game]

Shadow marker: replaces Noise marker; represents lurking Sangrevores; max 3 per Corridor before converting to Blood Specter [p.3 — Shadow Markers]
Shadow card: drawn when moving through Shadow markers; has 3 effects keyed to number of markers passed [p.3 — Shadow Cards]
Infection card: deck-polluting card gained from Sangrevore attacks; used in Eclosion Procedure at game end [p.4 — Infections]
Tainted Blood card: gift from Sangrevores; grants a once-per-Round Ability; only the Active (top) card can be used [p.4 — Tainted Blood]
Active Tainted Blood: the face-up top Tainted Blood card; the only one usable for its Ability [p.4 — Tainted Blood]
Eclosion Procedure: end-game check; drawing an Infection card during it kills the Character [p.4 — End of the Game]
Blood Specter: Drone-tier Sangrevore; spawns when 4+ Shadow markers would occupy one Corridor [p.3 — Shadow Markers Limit]
Ghoul: Adult-tier Sangrevore; primary enemy drawn from Intruder bag [p.4 — Intruders]
King: Queen-equivalent Sangrevore; Health tracked on King Health cards on Section 'C' border [p.2 — Intruder Setup]
