This is a fast-paced board card game of greed and luck with strong player interaction. You will collect animal and food cards in your castle, while trying to deprive your opponents of good resources and supporters.
You will collect cards from a common deck, revealing one card in front of you. The main thing is not to reveal two identical cards! But it`s not that simple: each card has its own unique abilities, and therefore the course of the game is completely unpredictable!
Game process
The game consists of two main phases: Collection phase and Intrigue phase.
Collection phase:
On your turn, you reveal cards from the deck one by one, gathering resources and inhabitants for your castle. But there is a risk: if you draw two identical cards (except Wheat), all open cards are discarded, and the turn passes to the next player.
You can stop at any time and take all open cards to your castle. The cards have different effects, which are mostly triggered immediately as soon as the card is drawn from the deck. For example, the Fox card allows you to "steal" a card from someone else`s castle, the Cow card allows you to peek at the next card in the deck, and the Dog card allows you to take up to two cards to your castle in case of an unsuccessful move, when all cards must be discarded.
Intrigue Phase:
When all cards in the deck are drawn, it is time for intrigue. You and the other players take turns activating the abilities of the animal cards. For example, the cards have the following effects:
All abilities are listed on a separate sheet with hints.
Scoring:
After the intrigue phase is over, you and the other players count the points for the cards that remained in the castles. The one whose castle is the strongest and most secure wins.
