PLAYED FOR YOU

DRACHENSCHATTEN

Collect treasures or hunt dragons?

Beneath the peaks of the Magical Mountains one night the shadow of a dragon appears which initiates a big hunt for the dragon and his treasures. The hunt is not easy and you need items to defeat the creatures in the dungeons and caves of the mountain; and you need to collect them quickly so as not to be too late for the treasure hunt. Eight stacks of Village cards and eight stacks of Cave cards are set up face-down. Each player takes a Village card and lays it out open-faced. Then you play in turns; the active player must implement the action „Turn over“ and can implement the action „Use items“ in any order of his choice. „Turn over“ must be done exactly once in your turn; you turn up the top card from any Village or Cave cards stack and put it down in your display; items you find can be immediately used or saved, a treasure is deemed to be collected. If you turn up Dragon or Hydra you need to fight.

If you have items for use in your display you can use the action „use items“ any number of times before and after the action „Turn up“, each item can only be used one. In order to fight Hydra or Dragon you use a corresponding item, this item is used and the opponent you defeated is put into your display. If you do not have a fitting item you lose all cards in your display. If you have defeated three creatures you win.

Sounds more than simple, but is not simple at all, especially because you can use items to take used items from other players or look at stacks. Fast, cute, simple yet with tactical depth and enticing for playing it again and again and maybe several times in a row.
