PLAYED FOR YOU

Bite Night

Monks, coffins and garlic

For a spooky assignment by moonlight there are 72 rendezvous card, 36 of them for the basic game without text, and 4x9 for the advanced game, as well as 50 moon tiles featuring coffins, garlic, vampires, virgins and monks.

All players simultaneously collect moon tiles and bring rendezvous cards for secret collection targets into play. Each player is given 9 rendezvous cards and 12 moon tiles for a game of four players and 15 tiles for a game of three players.

You play as many rounds as there are players, each round comprises four or five turns and each turn has two phases: 1) each player chooses one of his rendezvous cards and places it face-down on the board, beginning with the starting player, this order of placement in the stack must not be changed. 2) All place three face-down moon tiles on the table, turn them up simultaneously and then all grab three tiles, of course trying to get those that match the rendezvous card previously played, for color or image. When all moon tiles have been assigned in this way, the stack of rendezvous cards is turned over - there are point cards for colors and images as well as graveyard cards for actions which make you lose moon tiles or neutralize coming rendezvous cars - and you implement the cards and/or note the points. The cards for the advanced version hold text for interrelations between moon tiles. When all tours have been played you win with most points.

Stressful, hectic, thrilling and challenging - remember cards you played, take suitable tiles and plan for cards you know you want to play demands quick reactions and short fingernails.
