Gosu

Goblin Supremacy!

For once, goblins are not fighting elves, Gosu tells the story of a war of Goblins against Goblins. With the Rising of the Blood Moon the age of the Elders ands and the rules are abolished by chaos. With the chaos the lust for conflict grew and the era of the Warlords began.

100 cards show one goblin each of one of 5 clans and of one of three different kinds: There are 25 foot soldiers or Bakutos of Level 1, each is present twice, 35 individual veterans or heros of Level 2 and 15 generals or Ôzekis of Level 3. The clans are Ancient Gobans (white), Alpha Goblins (green), Dark Goblins (black), Meka Goblins (blue) und Fire Goblins (red).

Players embody warlords and recruit goblins for their armies. Each round ends with a big battle and the strongest army wins a victory point. The first player to collect three victory points wins the game. In a round you have any number of turns until you want to pass, but only one action per turn. Possible actions are: Play one card into your own army display, mutate a goblin, draw a card at the cost of one activation marker, activate a goblin at the cost of 2 activation markers or pass. When all have passed all add the values of their goblins not trapped, the strongest army wins the battle. In following rounds you can only get new cards via activation markers or the special abilities of your goblins.

Gosu is super, a witty and cute game with a focus on hand management, because only successful combinations earn you new cards. The strategies are manifold, the graphics superb, the playing time short – can it get any better? The expansion Kamakor has been announced!
