The overlord uses trap cards to deal damage directly to the heroes. The overlord player may play trap cards at any time as long as the triggering conditions on the card have been met. After playing a trap card and paying its threat cost, the overlord simply follows the instructions printed on the card, resolves its effects, and discards the card.
Important: Only one trap card may be played per triggering condition. So, for example, each time a hero moves into a space, the overlord may play only one trap card that is triggered when a hero moves into a space.
