    Description

    Each player will lead one of the animal parties using a clever strategy and their best negotiation tactics to make it successful. Trust your animalistic instincts to win elections and hold political offices or plot and pressure the government from the opposition. In the end, whoever has implemented the most political goals, will win.

    Every round there is a parliamentary election campaign where players can spend their food tokens on different animal species to win their votes for the next parliamentary election. The parliament usually gets elected every other round and after that players have to form a coalition with a majority of seats in the parliament. Obviously players with a better election result have an advantage during these negotiations, however it is also possible for weaker parties to form a coalition against stronger ones. The players simply have to agree on how the government offices get distributed and which political goals will be implemented.

    In case the government lost its majority of seats in the parliament, there is also the possibility for the opposition leader to initiate a no-confidence vote against the current government. However to be successful this vote needs a majority of seats as well to elect a new government.

    Moreover there are also presidential election that usually occur every 2 rounds in a direct vote. Here the winners takes it all! The president can also implement a political goal of his party and has some further advantages.

    Finally, some random events may always shake up the situation and force the players to change their plans.

      Excellent game, that comes alive with 4 or more players as the grubby work of making coalitions between the players takes it to another level. Still entertaining as a two player experience and not too tricky to learn or teach.

      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.
