MIA AND ME

DER MAGISCHE TRUMPTUS

 

In the land of Centopia the elves are searching for parts of the magical Trumptus; when it is complete the instrument will oust Panthea and her Munculus warriors. At the start of the game all players together place all parts randomly into the board and each player takes one Elf board; if only two are playing, each player takes two boards.

You roll the die: For a number you draw the same number of parts from the board and place them next to your Elf board. Then you can again roll and draw or stop. This choice between rolling and stopping is possible as long as you do not draw a Munculus part or roll the Munculus symbol. If you stop voluntarily you keep all the Trumptus parts of your color that you drew from the board in this turn, put them on your Elf board and put parts of other players back into the board. If you draw a Munculus part you lose all parts that you drew in this turn; the Munculus part is placed on the Munculus board. When you roll the Munculus symbol you hand all parts that you did draw in this turn over to their owners, your own you can keep, too. If you are first to have found all 8 parts of your Trumptus, you win. In a game for two players you must completely fill both Elf boards with Trumptus parts in the correct color in order to win. When the board of Panthea is completed first, all players lose the game together.

Standard mechanisms have been nicely varied for this new license topic of Mia and Me, featured in a TV Series which is a mixture of live action and CGI animation; if you watch closely when parts must be put back into the board you can later draw your own parts unerringly.
