The House Player victory objective: any two Defence Shields win the game for that player.
Also indexed as：Defense Shield · Shield · 盾牌 · 防御护盾
Reference facts
Effect & use
Collect a shield by exchanging one Library Book Card, one Parchment Scroll and the third component depicted on that shield. Winning belongs to the House Player who obtains two.
Where to find it / how to resolve it
Have all three required components when your pawn lands on a Defence Shield Space containing that shield.
Restrictions & timing
- There are three Dark Detector shields and three D.A. Coin shields; the third component must match the particular shield.
- Components are relinquished when collecting the shield; merely possessing them does not award a shield anywhere on the map.

Added a 24-category component catalogue, nine sourced card examples and a rechecked Alohomora entry; the catalogue remains an identified sample rather than a complete Acquire Deck. Added a complete setup and first-round walkthrough with a player-count checklist, cross-links across all eight guides, reference information boxes, a clarification register, page-specific history and local correction drafts. This records reviewed preview content, without announcing the custom-domain launch.
