CastleMania

Many years ago, the Great Squeakening overcame the world. Cattlewood Castle was ransacked, stormed by the Circus Soldiers, threatening their fair world with humoristic tendencies and cream pies to the face. However, the world grew tired of this hedonistic merriment. A lowly group of feline soldiers donned their boots and set out to cause cat-astrophe on the stormed castle to reclaim their home.

 How to play

 Firstly everyone needs to pick a character, choose one of the healer, scout, warrior and jester and pick the belonging piece and info card. 

 To set up the board take the yellow pieces and set up in a 5 x 2 rectangle. Take the blue pieces and set up in a 5 x 4 rectangle under the yellow ones and leave the middle square the furthest away from the yellow pieces empty. This is start. 

 Take the items card, shuffle them and place them face down. Take the win condition cards and place them faced up so everyone can see them. Take the enemy cards and place them faced up so everyone can see them. On the first turn decide who you want to go first, follow clockwise after this. 

In combat if there are more than 2 players in a battle, follow normal turn order with the players and you have the enemy go last. On your turn you can do: Movement; move into another square adjacent to the one you are standing on Special abilities Enemy; attack an enemy in a room you are in, flee from an enemy, distract Draw an item card if room tells you to, once a tile is discovered and the card is drawn the tile is used up. Use an item card, some of these are passive and does not require your turn and some are once per game and requires you to use your turn.

Combat

 When you walk into a room marked clown, lion tamer, juggler, magician you will immediately be ambushed by the character unless you already knew about the danger; for ambush roll the enemies attack, take it minus your defense and that’s how much damage you take. On your next turn you can attack, flee or distract the enemy. To attack you roll your attack and take minus the enemies defense and that’s how much HP they loose. To flee you roll for movement and have to get double the defense of your enemy, if you succeed move back to your previous tile. Then at the end of your turn if you are still in the same tile as an enemy, they attack you. If you successfully kill the enemy place a downed token on the tile. If you are 2 or more people in the same tile, add a plus 2 to your attack and defense after your roll, the same goes for enemies. How to win: at the start of the game you placed up all of the win condition cards. Your goal is to complete as many as possible of these and then escape the castle. Add up how many points you got and try and beat it on your next run.
