u-topia!!!
I used words that were easy to understand.
For this reason, I am using words that are not used in the game to describe it.
e.g., money, stores, etc.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
u-topia*Game Flow*
Roll the dice to get the money.
Use the money you earn to buy dice faces and cards.
The person with the most VP at the end wins.
Starting on the next page, I will explain in more detail.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
u-topiaEach player has two six-sided dice.
- One of the dice is Yellow-1 x5, Red-1 x1.
- The other is Yellow-1 x4, Blue-1 x1, Green-2 x1.
What side is set for each die is shown on the player board.4first-flex-container-84355338000
u-topia*Yellow, Red, and Blue = money*.
*Green = VP*.
Each time you roll a die, you get the money or VP of the die you rolled.5first-flex-container-84355338000
u-topiaFirst, all players roll their own dice.
Then, only the active player will play the action.
When the action is over, the next player becomes the active player.
Again, all players roll their own dice.
The game ends when you have completed the specified number of turns.6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
u-topiaThe BGA system will automatically roll the dice for you when you need it. (See game log)
The current amount of money you have is shown on the player board.
Now you have 6 Yellow, 0 Red, and 0 Blue.
!!! By the way, if you are early in the turn order, you have less initial capital. 7first-flex-container-84355338000
u-topiaThere are two stores on the game board.
- A store where you use the Yellow money to buy dice face. (Yellow - 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12 are arranged in a U-shape.)
- A store where you use the Red or Blue money to buy cards. (Red and Blue - 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... are arranged in a U-shape.)8archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
u-topiaThe active player can play one of two actions.
- *Forge* (= Buy dice face)
- *Heroic Feat* (= Buy card)
You can play only one of these two actions.
(You do not have to perform any actions.)9archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
u-topiaYou only have Yellow right now, so buy the dice face first.
Yellow-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12 represents the cost, and you can buy the dice face by paying the cost.10archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
u-topia!!! The dice face of the red frame is the dice surface to get when I bought a card.
You cannot buy it even if you pay Yellow.11archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000pool-11_item_41 6 pool-11_item_42 6 pool-11_item_43 6 pool-11_item_44 6 pool-12_item_45 6 pool-12_item_46 6 pool-12_item_47 6 pool-12_item_48 6 pool-13_item_49 6 pool-13_item_50 6 pool-13_item_51 6 pool-13_item_52 6 pool-14_item_53 6 pool-14_item_54 6 pool-14_item_55 6 pool-14_item_56 6 pool-15_item_57 6 pool-15_item_58 6 pool-15_item_59 6 pool-15_item_60 6
u-topiaSupplemental dice face
- Dice face "+": You get everything that's shown on the dice face.
- Dice face "?": You get one of that's shown on the dice face.12pool-5_item_18000pool-5_item_18 6 pool-5_item_20 6 pool-6_item_21 7 pool-6_item_22 7
u-topiaThe dice face you purchase will overwrite the face of your dice of your choice.
By doing so, you can increase the income you get from the dice.13archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
u-topiaNow, let's practice the game controls.
*This turn, you will buy the dice face*.
Pay the cost of 3 Yellow and buy the dice face of Red-1.
Then, overwrite the dice face of the Yellow-1.
*Action*: Click *Forge* (= Buy a dice face), then click [red]*red frame*[/red] (Red-1), and then click [blue]*blue frame*[/blue] (Yellow-1).14pile-84355338010player_action_button_forge 3 side_flat_84 7 pool-4_item_13 6
u-topiaWell done!
You can buy as many dice faces as you want if you have the Yellow money.
But you cannot buy the same die face in the same action.
You still have 3 Yellow.
You cannot buy the identical dice face during this action, so buy the dice face of Yellow-4.
*Action*: Click [red]*red frame*[/red] (Yellow-4), then click [blue]*blue frame*[/blue] (Yellow-1).1pile-8435533861cd536e01ac910side_flat_86 7 pool-3_item_12 6
u-topiaYes! Your dice became strong!
One of the fun factors of this game is that the dice get stronger and stronger.
The dice face sold in a shop is limited in number.
If you don't buy the dice face you want soon, it will be sold out!
There is nothing more you can buy.
Your turn is over.2first-flex-container-8435533861cd53906d43400
u-topiaAll players have performed their actions, and the round is now over.
A new round will begin again.
!!! By the way, if you are early in the turn order, you have less initial capital. 1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd53aed1de500
u-topiaIt's your turn again.
Now you have 1 Red.
*This turn, let's buy a card.*
Red and Blue - 1, 1, 2, 3, 4,...arranged in a U-shape represents the cost, and you can buy a card by paying the cost.2first-flex-container-8435533861cd53aedd3a700
u-topiaWhen you buy a card, you get a variety of benefits.
You get VP... You can roll additional dice... You get a dice face...
As for the details, please see a tooltip.4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd53aedd3a700
u-topiaNow, let's practice the game controls.
Pay the cost of 1 Red and buy a card of Wild Spirits.
*Action*: Click *Heroic Feat* (= Buy a card), then click [red]*red frame*[/red] (Wild Spirits).5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd53aedd3a710player_action_button_forge 3 exploit-F2_item_19 6
u-topiaWell done!
When you buy a card, your marker will move to the front of the card. (I explain the details later.)1position-761cd53deb74fa00
u-topiaPurchased cards will be shown on the player board.3first-flex-container-8435533861cd53deb7ba500
u-topiaYou can only buy one card per action.
Please note that this is not the same as the dice face.
The card sold in a shop is also limited in number.
If you don't buy the card you want soon, it will be sold out!4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd53deb7ba500
u-topiaDid you understand the two actions (buy a dice face (= Forge), and buy a card (= Heroic Feat))?
I have a few more points I'd like to explain, so please bear with me.5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd53deb7ba500
u-topiaThe money in hand has the upper limit each. (It's displayed on player board.)
Oops, Yellow is now at the upper limit of 12.
Even if you roll a yellow dice face after this, you will not get it because you will exceed the limit.6first-flex-container-8435533861cd53debf17700
u-topiaThis turn, I want you to buy a "Blacksmith's Treasure Chest ([red]*red frame*[/red])" card, but your opponent's marker is placed in front of the card.
In this case, you can still buy the card.
However, it gives your opponent a chance to roll the dice.
*Action*: Click *Heroic Feat*, then click [red]*red frame*[/red] (The Blacksmith's Chest).2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd540a7203010player_action_button_forge 3 exploit-M2_item_4 6 player_green 12
u-topiaThe opponent's marker has been moved back to the center.
Then, the opponent rolled the dice and received the profit.
It's like you paid opponent to leave.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd545159e7000
u-topiaIt's your turn again.
*Here's how to act twice*.
You can buy a card or dice face twice, or once of each, which is very useful.
First, buy a dice face with a normal action.
*Action*: Click *Forge*, then click [red]*red frame*[/red] (Yellow-2 + Blue-1), and then click [blue]*blue frame*[/blue] (Yellow-1).1pile-84355338_item_461cd5495ce5d810player_action_button_forge 3 side_flat_85 7 pool-5_item_20 6
u-topiaLet's buy also the most expensive dice face.
*Action*: Click [red]*red frame*[/red] (Green-4), and then click [blue]*blue frame*[/blue] (Yellow-1).1pile-84355338_item_461cd54fa7e34110side_flat_81 7 pool-10_item_40 6
u-topiaAfter the normal action is over, you can pay *2 Red* to perform the second action. (Only once per turn.)
I think it's a great deal to be able to act twice by paying 2 Red.
*Action*: Click [red]*2 Red*[/red].1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd550406ea610secondAction0_2_0_0 1
u-topiaGood! Now you can do the action again.
Even if you have lots of money, you can't win the game without VP.
Take lots of action and aim for victory!
Let's buy a card now.
*Action*: Click *Heroic Feat*, then click [red]*red frame*[/red] (The Guardian's Owl).1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd550a13e6210player_action_button_exploit 3 exploit-F3_item_21 6
u-topiaThere are also cards that have reinforcements effects.
Once acquired, it will display on the player board.1power-2161cd551d1e27600
u-topiaThe status bar will let you know when you can use reinforcements.
(The icons on the player board will also light up)
*Action*: Click *red frame*, then click [red]*Red money*[/red] in the Status bar..1power-2161cd553ff319f10power-21 6
u-topiaDon't forget to use it and receive the benefits.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd5558cb29400
u-topiaThis is the last explanation I will give.
VP by dice rolls are always displayed in the player column.
VP by cards are not counted until all rounds are over.
Even if you are winning VP by dice rolls, you will lose depending on the VP by cards.
Please keep your mind on the game until the end.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd5558cb29400
u-topiaThat's all I have to say.
You can't win by luck alone.
Use your strategy to win the game.
Thank you for reading to the end.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61cd5558cb29400
