Monster Focus Rules

[Hikka]

Hello,

I think the monster focus rules devite a bit from the board game, is this on purpose?
Acc to the rulebook a monster can only focus an hero, if the path to it is unblocked.
This means, that a path to any hero which is not blocked by walls, obstacles OR enemies (in this case monster of the same team) must exist, before it can focus this hero.
Only then will it move toward the respective hex that it can legally stand, even if it would take multiple turns to get there.
So the monster should not move towards a bottleneck if it is already blocked by another monster.

Or in short, if a monster (which is moving this turn) can in theory get into attack range of any hero with unlimited movement, it will move according to his normal movement range. Otherwise it will grab some pompons and cheer for his team this turn.

AFAIK they will still move toward the hero if the end of the path is currently occupied, as long as the path is otherwise clear and puts them closer to the hero. It's only when they'd end up having to end that turn further away without being able to attack that they'll just twiddle their thumbs instead.
