PLAYED FOR YOU

Richard Ritterschlag

Esquire to Knight

Knight Conrad the Confused is searching for his horse - players are esquires and want to become knights - so they need to confront tasks like giants, dragons, witches and other dangers. This is accomplished by joining landscape tiles to achieve the necessary locations. You have 4-6 task tiles, the starting landscape with the castle is laid out. In your turn you always draw and place a tile, crosses and tournament segments must correspond. Then you check for actions - completed tasks, completed tournament arenas, meeting Conrad the Confused or finding his horse.

When due to placing a tile two crosses of the same colors are next to each other and you have a cross of this color on one of your task tiles you have mastered the task and place your tile on the crosses. When you have completed the circle of a tournament arena you can place any of your task tiles there. When you could place your tile next to the tile carrying Conrad the Confused you get another turn. If the tile you placed shows Conrad's horse you take Conrad the Confused and place him next to his horse.

If you have completed all your tasks you win instantly, otherwise you win with most completed task when the last tile landscape tile has been placed. The rules provide a solo version featuring different geometrical shapes in three levels of difficulty which you should lay out, beginning with the castle starting tile and adhering to the placement rules.

A pretty game and a good training for spatial thinking and finding of optimum possibilities to one's advantage; the solo version can get quite tricky if you draw the tiles instead of searching for suitable ones.
