Structures are figures that provide obstacles and
objectives for your monsters. The most common
structures are buildings. Each structure comes with an
accompanying rubble tile that represents the structure

side displays a pile of rubble, and the other shows a

destruction, like a Blazing Inferno or Radiated Zone.
