Bloodrush társasjáték

Angol leírás

Bloodrush is a quirky survival game from Fitz&Pops Tabletops featuring tile placement, resource management, and push-your-luck mechanisms where vampires hunt for humans in a Far West frontier town. Players strategically place human tiles during setup, then navigate the board using blood as both currency and life force while managing an autonomous mosquito threat that follows programmed movement patterns. The game combines set collection with color-matching bonuses, wraparound "Mario pipe" movement for tactical positioning, and a burst mechanism that punishes greedy blood hoarders, creating a light yet strategic experience where players must balance aggressive hunting with careful resource management to survive until dawn.

SETUP
Follow these steps to prepare your game:
Phase 1: Determine Turn Order

The player who bled last will be Player 1 (starts first)
The next player clockwise will be Player 2 (places the Mozzie on the board)
Remaining players continue clockwise for turn order
Phase 2: Dynamic Human Placement

Shuffle all 10 human tiles face-down into a stack
Flip the entire stack face-up so only the top tile is visible
Players take turns placing one human tile at a time in turn order
Placement Rule: Humans can be placed anywhere on the board EXCEPT tiles immediately adjacent to the graveyard
Humans can be placed on special tiles (Damage, Clocks, Steps)
Continue until all 10 humans are placed
Phase 3: Final Setup

Player 2 places the Mozzie anywhere on the board
Each player places their Vampire tile in the graveyard
Each player starts with 5 blood tiles
Set the time tracker to dusk (starting position)
Shuffle the card deck

VICTORY CONDITIONS (RANKED BY PRIORITY)
The game concludes when either only one vampire remains alive or all humans have been consumed from the board. Winners are determined in priority order:
Survival Victory - Last vampire standing wins immediately (regardless of human collection)
Collection Victory - Most human tiles collected when all are taken (count number of tiles)

Strategy Bonuses - If tied on tile count, calculate tile values and color-matching bonuses:
Base value: Sum of all collected human tile numbers (1-5)

2 humans same color = +1 bonus point
3+ humans same color = +3 bonus points
Resource Tiebreaker - Most blood tiles remaining

TURN STRUCTURE
Each vampire player's turn consists of:
1. PLAYER ACTION (Choose ONE):

Draw a card:

Black card: Roll the die and resolve the action
Red card: Keep it or play immediately (can be played at any time)
Collect 1 blood tile

2. MOZZIE CONTROL:
Choose direction: Straight, left, or right (no U-turn)

Roll the die: Move the Mozzie by that number of Steps
3. TIME EFFECTS (If Applicable):

BLOOD MANAGEMENT
Start with 5 blood tiles

Maximum capacity: 10 blood tiles
Cannot collect blood beyond maximum

Burst Mechanic: Exceeding 10 blood tiles reduces player to 1 tile and forces graveyard return
MOVEMENT AND NAVIGATION

Players act as walls - cannot occupy same tile
Movement is orthogonal only (up, down, left, right) - no diagonal movement
Wraparound Movement ("Mario Pipe"): Players can move seamlessly from any edge square to the opposite edge
MOVEMENT STOPPING RULE

When any creature (Vampire or Mozzie) encounters a target during movement, their movement stops immediately regardless of remaining Steps:
Vampire stepping on Human: Movement stops, collect human
Mozzie stepping on Human: Movement stops, human eliminated
Mozzie stepping on Vampire: Movement stops, vampire drained
Example: If a Mozzie is 1 tile away from a human and rolls 2 Steps, the Mozzie stops after moving 1 Step onto the human and does not continue for the remaining Step.

Collect the tile

Gain 5 blood tiles (cannot exceed maximum of 10)
Hidden Hazard: If human was placed on a special tile, the underlying effect triggers BEFORE collecting the human's blood
