Shaffle társasjáték

Angol leírás

Shaffle is a strategic and engaging board game where players aim to create pairs or couples of animals by matching pieces of the same type and colour. The game is played on a 21x21 board divided into 49 Colonies. Each player has 196 pieces that represent 49 different animal types. The goal is to form as many pairs or couples as possible, with rarer animal types earning more points. The game combines elements of hidden information, strategy, and movement to create a unique and challenging experience.
Board: The board is a 21x21 grid, divided into 49 Colonies, each consisting of a 3x3 section of squares.

Pieces: Each player has 196 pieces representing 49 different animal types, each type having 4 pieces.
Animal Categories: Animals are grouped into 7 categories, from Domestic animals to Iconic and Legendary animals, each with a different point value when pairs or couples are created.
Starting Conditions: Pieces are placed face down during the initial dropping phase, and only 8 pieces can be placed in each Colony. The pieces are then flipped over at the end of the dropping phase.
Dropping Phase: Players take turns placing pieces on the board, one piece at a time. A maximum of 8 pieces can be placed in each Colony, leaving one square empty in each Colony. A total of 49 empty squares will remain on the board after the dropping phase. All pieces are placed face down and their identities are hidden.
Flipping Phase: After all pieces are placed, all pieces are flipped over, revealing their identities.
Movement: During the movement phase, players move their pieces orthogonally like a Rook in chess (one or more squares, provided the destination is empty). The goal is to move the pieces strategically to form pairs or couples.
Forming Pairs or Couples: A pair or couple consists of 2 pieces of the same animal type and colour placed in the same Colony. The player who forms a pair or couple scores points based on the animal's group:
Group 1 (Domestic animals) = 1 point
Group 7 (Iconic and Legendary animals) = 7 points
Winning: At the end of the game, players tally the points based on the number of pairs or couples they have formed. The player with the most points wins.
