Where *exactly* to place the monsters? |

I don't have a copy of the rules that came with the game, but Family Pastimes was kind enough to email me a Word doc with the rules. I have a question about placing monsters:

When you must place a monster on a path leading into a location, do you place it so it covers an *entire* adjacent path tile, or just the path *segment* leading directly into your location? From one of the pictures of the game here, it appears that you only put the monsters on the segment of the path leading directly into your location, leaving the rest of that tile "navigable" by your pieces.

We started playing that way (just placing monsters on the segments) but it seemed the game would be WAY too easy, so we switched to covering the entire adjacent tile. In that case, we missed the final treasure. So it seems an appropriate level of difficulty, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,

I don't exactly remember, but it is my recollection that a monster will only block a single door (which makes sense.) If you have another door open you can still exit. If you only have a single door, then you are stuck.

My family has always assumed the monsters/obstacles were placed on the entire tile. We feel it gives the game the right amount of difficulty for us.

I think that makes sense - I've found that it makes the game too easy if the monsters only affect a single segment on a given tile.
