    Description

    Card Based Kingdom Capture Game

    In Animal Empire, you take on the role of Monarchs of the various kingdoms of the realm.

    By conquest, diplomacy, and trickery you must deploy you rarmies to capture the other kingdoms. You will need to capture your former friends as well - if you seize the Crown of another player, they become your Vassal and must serve you, until their sudden but inevitable betrayal.

    The first of you to seize 9 of the 16 kingdoms will be crowned the first Empress/Emperor of the first Animal Empire!

    Winning the Game through Conquest

    You win the game if you, or you and your Vassals combined, are the first to capture the majority of the 16 Kingdoms (9 in total).

    Two-Player Mode: Mustering

    You win the game if you are the first to capture the majority of the 16 Kingdoms (9 in total). You also begin with two Kingdoms each.
    You cannot attack until both you and your opponent have at least three Kingdoms each.

    Each turn, a player may take up to two Actions using their Armies.

    Each Army can only perform one action per turn

    Armies can perform the following Actions:

    March - Move your Army to any Kingdom card or to the Wilderness Deck. You may march to any Kingdom, whether it be yours, a Free Kingdom, or an Enemy Kingdom.

    Capture - If your Armies outnumber the enemy Armies on a Kingdom, or you are faced with no opposition, you can Capture that Kingdom

    Battle - One of your Armies on a Kingdom forces an enemy Army to retreat to its owner’s hand.

    Seize Crown - If a Kingdom you capture has a Crown card, you may use your Capture action to claim this instead. This makes the player that originally owned that Crown card your Vassal

      Heroes of Barcadia

      In Heroes of Barcadia, two to six players take on the roles of Barcadian champions to battle monsters and bosses, collect Power-Ups with mystical abilities, and race to collect the elusive Drink Hoard hidden in the dungeon! There is a special twist to this drinking game: your character’s health is measured by the liquid in your cup. Getting hit by a monster forces you to take a drink, slowly sipping down your health pool until it’s back to square one.

      Traps

      In Traps, players take control of a team of two unique adventurers. Each team is desperate to escape the jungle the first.

      -You’ll use a variety of cards and special abilities to make it happen.
      -Draw from hundreds of unique cards to help you make your escape
      -Use your characters’ special abilities to incite game changing moments
      -Plan your perfect strategy (and a few backup strategies) to stay one step ahead

      Card Types:

      TRAPS: Place these cards directly on the board to stop your enemies dead in their tracks, wipe out their funds, or just generally cause chaos.

      ACTIONS: Play these super-powered cards right from your hand. They’ll help you tilt the game in your favor—from blocking Traps to giving you special perks that last all game.

      MONEY PITS: These Traps are all about the money. When an opponent lands on one, they pay you. When you land on one, the bank pays you. It’s a win-win.

      FOUND TREASURE: These cards help you accrue sweet, sweet cash to fund your wildest dreams and schemes. You’ve just got to be lucky enough to draw one.

      Each turn consists of rolling and moving, drawing cards (see above), and playing those cards with devastating effect.

      These cards reshape the jungle with each playthrough so that no two games are ever the same.

      Beyond cards, one of the primary game mechanics is character abilities. These let you perform unique actions such as stealing a ton of extra cash from your foes to dodging a Trap at the last minute.

      There are 8 characters (4 humans and 4 animals). Each team is made up of a randomly paired human and animal duo. Since every character has their own ability, you never know what combo (and strategy) you’ll end up with.

      Along the way you’ll encounter spaces that protect you, beef up your wallet, or poison you, severely setting your progress back.

      Nothing is truly as it seems in this jungle. So be warned: Trust no one. Trap everyone.
