Aventuria Das Kartenspiel

Das Schwarze Auge

Conflicts in the universe of Aventuria, players are permanently confronted with new challenges. In the Duel mode, you want to improve your hero – a Dwarf blacksmith, a Sorceress, a Half-Elf jester or an Elf – by tactical play of action cards and to reduce the life points of opponents to zero by attacking them. In a turn, you first resolve start-of-turn effects draw cards and reactivate exhausted cards. Then you play stamina cards and then action cards or attacks – attack results are determined by dice – and pay with stamina. For some of the cards, you need to comply with conditions set by the cards before you can use the card effect. If a trial must be mastered, the result is, as in skirmishes, determined by a dice roll. Finally, you check your hand for the limit of seven cards, discard cards, if necessary, and end your turn.

If you gained some experience with mechanisms and the variety of cards by playing in Duel mode, you can then play the cooperative adventure mode, in which players want to achieve certain results together and support each other in skirmishes. In the adventure mode, players can assemble their own hero deck from all available cards. The turn sequence is the same as in the Duel mode, there is also use of Fate points, special abilities, free actions and others. The rules also provide a short adventure and the adventure „Das Erbe von Wildenstein“.

Das Schwarze Auge is still the best-known and most successful fantasy role playing system in German, the Land of Aventuria and his characters are well-known, as are the mechanisms, which are perfectly implemented in the card game.
