Freitag

Island training camp

Friday living peacefully on his lonely island is extremely irritated by Robinson’s arrival and tries to get rid of him quickly. This he manages by training him to overcome hazards and get stronger to enable him to leave the island. This Robinson will do when he has defeated two pirates. A round of the game comprises first turning up of two hazard cards and choosing one of them for the hazard of the round. Then you fight the hazard and score the outcome. The chosen danger cart shows how many fighting cards you can draw for free to fight the hazard. The hazard has been defeated if you equal or top the green hazard value on the card when playing at the green level, later in the game the yellow or red values. The fight itself is done by drawing the allotment of fighting cards. If necessary you can then discard life points to draw one more card per point. Then you can use the special abilities of each displayed fighting card in any order; each one only once and each must be implemented completely before you can use the next one. Aging cards must be implemented in any case. When then the hazard has been defeated the hazard card becomes a new fighting card for your stack; if not, Robinson looses life points accordingly and can use those lost points to destroy an unwanted fighting card, for instance an aging card.

Friday is a cute version of the deck building mechanism, which you can play in four different levels of difficulty; you have all information available at any time because you can rifle through any stack and you have only yourself to blame when Robinson does not survive.
