PLAYED FOR YOU

L’Aventure c’est dur

Dragons and other monsters

It’s a hard life for an adventurer! Once again the kingdom is in peril; a dragon is laying waste to the land and destroys the harvest. As all his knights have deserted the king, he must in the tradition of all kings fall back on his daughter and offer her to the one you will dare to undertake the journey and defeat the dragon.

Players are adventurers travelling across the land and must cover a distance of 100 km, for five or six adventurers this is reduced to 80km. This distance is compiled by playing landscape cards showing stages of the trip. In order to defeat the dragon you collect combat cards. In your turn you draw two cards – there is no limit to the number of cards you can hold - and play up to two cards. You can use Monsters to impede the journey other players, event cards can change the number of cards in your hand or let monsters attack. If you first to complete your journey you introduce the dragon card and remove all your landscape cards. From now on each player who has completed his journey can join the fight against the dragon and play combat cards against the dragon. If you would have to fight the dragon and do not play cards you must discard three cards from your hand. If you are the one to play the card that reduces the life points of the dragon to zero, you win the hand of the princess and the game.

A cute little game with very pretty drawings; kilometer as a part aim of the game are an unusual method to influence the choice of cards to play; you can fight the dragon in a you-hit-the-dragon-as-hard-as-you-can-manage method or play tactical and with noble restriction to be the one to defeat it.
