Winged hussars and Cossacks társasjáték

Angol leírás

Become the most powerful magnate family in the Wild Fields!
Euro, deck building, and area control.

One to six players play cards and expand their deck of cards, but they have to be careful, because if their family head dies, they will lose the cards drawn to the deck!
Found new villages, cities, and forts and protect them from enemies.
Players will be forced to face Tatars, Muscovites, Cossack rebels, and every magnate's greatest enemy—his neighbor!

There are almost no dice rolls in a game. Strategy, planning wealth and decption rules the Wild Fields.

The round consists of:
Season One.

All players decide which cards they want to play this season, placing them in front of themselves.
Then everyone reveals them simultaneously. Each card has its own initiative, which we calculate for each player. The player with the lowest initiative will play cards first (all cards in chosen order).
If players have played an auction card, we bid on yellow cards – one-time powerful cards: building a city, fortress, new estate, bringing in settlers, buying artillery, sending instigators, etc.

Season Two – the same as in Season One.

Harvest Season.
Players collect taxes from their subjects and generate prestige (titles held generate prestige).
Then we play world cards – historical events that occurred in a given scenario. To avoid repetitive gameplay, these cards are shuffled and revealed in random order (1-5 cards per round). The final element of the round is to determine whether the heads of the player families have lost their health and consequently died. Since titles are held for life, this may mean that the position has become vacant and a new official must be elected.

Voivode, castellan, bishop, or hetman increase prestige but also impose on players the associated responsibilities. The voivode should not break the law and must punish criminals. Failure to do so results in loss of prestige.
The castellan is his deputy.
The hetman must fight enemies of the Commonwealth and prevent peasants from being kidnapped by the Tatars. If they escape with them, he lose prestige.
The bishop simply needs to avoid shedding the blood of the king's loyal subjects.

Each time a magnate plays a yellow card, commands a battle, or commits a crime, they receive experience points.
Each level of experience earned allows them to gain one card for their playing or tactics decks (for combat).
Unfortunately, each subsequent level of experience requires more experience points, and they are gained more slowly. Therefore, it is sometimes beneficial to have the head of the family die to gain cards that are more relevant at that moment in the game. Additionally, once the head of the family rests in their sarcophagus, they receive victory points for each level of experience they gain.

During the round, players recruit troops, plunder neighboring estates, participate in royal expeditions to other countries or provinces, and expand their own estates.

The player with the most victory points wins the game.
Players receive victory points for: income, experience level of the family head, happiness of their subjects, building fortresses and destroying units of Commonwealth enemies.
