PLAYED FOR YOU

Adventure Tours

Explorer or equipment for Explorers?

As the leader of an expedition you must decide again and again if you want to provide better equipment or if you hire another adventurer, of course one with money, as participant in the expedition. The more of an asset the new adventurer will be the more demands he in his turn has about the equipment.

You play a card from your hand and place it to the right side of your personal board for equipment improvement or to the top of the board as a new member of the expedition. If you did play the card for equipment, you draw a card. If you play the card as an adventurer his demands on the equipment must be met from the equipment card in your display. Immediately after placing a new adventurer you can make use of his special ability, and you draw no new card for an adventurer you placed.

In the standard version the expeditions of all players are identical; in the expert version expeditions are different and come with special abilities, which you can use once per turn.

An expeditions ends instantly when a player has placed his last card and you earn money for the adventurers in your expedition. Should you have adventurers left in hand you pay 2 coins for each of them. You play three such expeditions, that is, rounds and win then with most money.

The game was already published in 2010 as “Mai Star” and the topic of succeeding a Geisha, by the designers own company. In this edition the very good mechanism has been provided with a much better topic which lets the double options of using a card appear much more plausible. An absolutely nice family game with very nice components and well-written rules.
