Wayfare társasjáték

Angol leírás

Wayfare is a strategy game for two players: Black and White. It is played on the intersection (points) of a hexagonal board composed of triangles. The default size is 8 points per side, but boards of 6 or 10 are also valid. The game is played with two types of pieces: Guides and Adventurers.

The board represents an ancient enclosure whose final chamber lies at the central point. Each concentric ring represents a floor, from the outermost ring to the central chamber. Both players compete to lead their adventurers to the final chamber and establish their dominance there.

Definitions:
A ring is the set of points at the same distance from the central point. The central point is the final ring.
A central line is a straight line of point passing through the central points.

Setup:On the outermost ring, excluding the corners, place a row of 6 guides along each side of the board. The colors of these rows alternate around the board.

On the next ring, place a row of 5 guides adjacent to each of the previous rows. Each row is the opposite color of the adjacent row, and the colors also alternate around the board.

Turns:White plays first and then turns alternate. On your turn, perform one of the following actions:

Move a guide in a straight line to an empty point, passing over exactly one enemy guide and any number of empty points (before and after the enemy guide). The passed-over guide becomes an adventurer of your color.
Choose guides or adventurers as the reference type. Then, move an adventurer through consecutive empty points, changing direction freely. From the starting point or the first traversed point, every traversed point must be adjacent to at least one friendly piece of the chosen type; the adventurer lands on the first point that is not. If the destination point contains an enemy piece of the chosen type, capture it by replacement; otherwise, it must be empty.

Both guides and adventurers must end their move closer to the central point than the starting point or, if they remain in the same ring, closer to a central line.

End of the gameThe game ends when neither player can move.

If exactly one player has an adventurer on the central point, that player wins; otherwise, compare both players' adventurers in the next ring outward, then continue ring by ring until a difference is found. The player with an adventurer in the ring closest to the center wins.
