If you want a written teaching script for Guards of Atlantis II, check out my file on BoardGameGeek: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/242456/guards-of-atlantis-ii-teaching-script Game Setup Instructions (for "Long" length game): 1. Place the blue and red life counter tokens on their respective thrones (6 for 2v2, 8 for 3v3). 2. Randomly flip the tie breaker coin and place it in a corner of the board. 3. Place 5 wave counter tokens in the same corner of the board as the tie breaker coin. 4. Place all coins in the opposite corner of the board. 5. Each player picks a hero, starting with the tie breaker coin and alternating between teams. For first game, recommended heroes are Wasp/Xargatha/Tigerclaw vs. Arien/Brogan/Sabina. 6. Give each player their 18 hero cards. Find the 3 tier 1 cards and the 2 basic cards with no tier. Those 5 cards are your starting hand. Keep the other 13 cards nearby. 7. Give each player a level indicator card. Tuck it under left edge of hero dashboard at level 1. Note: This is not needed if you remember that hero level is equal to 1 + number of items. 8. Attach the appropriate colored bases to the selected heroes. 9. Place heroes on any hero spawn point within their respective throne zone. 10. Place minions on spawn points in the middle battle zone. 0:00 Introduction 0:07 Victory Conditions 0:38 Map Zones 1:00 Round Overview 1:24 Initiative 1:58 Primary Actions & Secondary Actions 2:21 Movement Action and Fast Travel 4:23 Attack Action Overview 5:00 Defeating Minions 5:24 Attacking Heroes 6:30 Minion Defense Modifiers 7:29 Attack and Defense Calculation Example 8:26 Blocking an Attack 9:13 Defeating a Hero 10:55 End of Round - Minion Battle 11:38 End of Round - Lane Push 12:39 End of Round - Retrieve Cards 12:46 End of Round - Level Up 14:20 End of Round - Collect Pity Coin 14:28 Team Communication 14:51 Initiative Tie-Breakers 15:51 Clear Action 16:16 Hold Action 16:25 Active Effects 16:39 Minion Outside of Battle Zone 17:17 Occupied Minion Spawn Points 17:59 Must Level Up If You Can 18:23 Ultimate Card 18:33 Tokens and Markers 18:57 Thanks for Watching!

About Guards of Atlantis II, from BoardGameGeek:

Guards of Atlantis: Tabletop MOBA is a competitive "zero-luck" team-based board game inspired by computer games of the MOBA genre. In the game, each player controls a single hero and uses a hand of cards to move that hero around the game board, employ special abilities, and attack enemies. Defeating enemy minions earns you coins, which are used to buy levels and upgrade your hero. Your goal is to help your "minions" - units that are not directly controlled by the players - reach the enemy base and capture it. Guards of Atlantis II is a complete overhaul of the original game with 32 new heroes, new double-sided game board and much more. In addition to new content, Guards of Atlantis II streamlines the rules of the original, making it faster and tighter. -description from the publisher
