Fortune & Famine társasjáték

Angol leírás

Fortune & Famine is a strategy card game, set in medieval Europe. You play as the king of a growing kingdom, attempting to store more grain in 12 rounds than opposing kings. To do that, you will spend silver to bid against other kings on workers which produce unique goods or services for your kingdom. You will need to balance your silver and grain economies, and take some risks. The primary risk-reward comes in the form of FAMINE cards, which show up with increasing regularity as the game progresses. You can store as much of your grain as you want for a single silver coin, making it economically beneficial to leave your grain growing as long as possible. But beware! When FAMINE strikes, you will lose much of it!

Asymmetry is built in with six queens. Each queen gives a unique power to her kingdom. Queens can be distributed randomly at the start or chosen by a player for the penalty of less starting silver.

Finally, if all else fails and you see an opposing king running away with the game, you may be able to slow them with judiciously played evil wizard cards, although each wizard will cost a precious spot in your kingdom!
