Any number of Heroscape players can play. Competitive Heroscape games are typically 2 players, and multiplayer games tend to be best at 3-5 players.
How do I use the Order Markers?
At the start of each round, you and your opponent(s) place your Order Markers - 1, 2, 3, and the decoy maker X, onto your Army Cards, and then you roll Iniatitive. Whoever rolls highest goes first, revealing their Order Marker 1 and moving and attacking with the figures on that Army Card. Then the next player continues, in clockwise order, until all players have played their Order Marker 1 - and then it continues with Order Marker 2. When all Order Markers have been revealed and all turns taken, then it's time to begin a new round!
