Here are two optional game modes which you can use while playing Lands of Galzyr. Both of them are also in the Dreams and Mysteries expansion booklet and in the base game’s rulebook for the 3rd printing and later.

Co-op travel mode

Travel together easier

---

If you want to make it easier to travel together in co-operative play, you can resolve your travels in a shared travel phase where everyone resolves their moves freely. This phase is considered to be everyone’s turn. Afterwards, each player resolves a scene [SCN] as normal.

This makes certain skill checks easier by allowing you to partner [2P] more regularly, so we recommend also using the challenge mode below if you like to travel together a lot.

Challenge mode

Harder skill checks

---

If you want the game to be more challenging, when playing with the co-op travel mode for example, you can enable the challenge mode in the storybook settings [COG]. It makes the skill checks more difficult in scenes [SCN] where you can have a partner [2P]. The minimum number of successes required in these challenge skill checks is raised by one, as shown below.

Difficulty	Easy	Medium	Hard	Unknown
Regular skill check	1 [SCC]	2 [SCC]	3 [SCC]	? [SCC]
Challenge skill check	2 [SCC]	3 [SCC]	4 [SCC]	? [SCC]
