Nastaa[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ecee6603c7.96632385.jpg[/img] 🧝 Greetings young elf! It is time for the ritual journey in Elfenland taken by all elves entering adulthood. Finally, it is your turn to go and shine! :)1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NastaaYour goal is to visit as many towns as possible in Elfenland. You have one year (4 rounds) and there are many possible transports: giant pigs, elfcycles, magic clouds, unicorns, troll wagons, dragons, and rafts. [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ecee94af89.29732681.jpg[/img] However, they are limited in number and have region-specific costs.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NastaaEach round, elves will first pick [blue]*travel tiles*[/blue], then place them on the map to determine which transports can be used where (available to all elves), and finally travel in Elfenland using the [red]*cards*[/red] to pay the cost (each elf individually). (Note: You may need to scroll down to see the cards in your hand, depending on the size of your screen.)3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000counters_market_item_5 2 counters_market_item_34 2 counters_market_item_35 2 counters_market_item_37 2 counters_market_item_52 2 player_hand_item_5 1 player_hand_item_11 1 player_hand_item_29 1 player_hand_item_30 1 player_hand_item_32 1 player_hand_item_35 1 player_hand_item_54 1 player_hand_item_69 1
NastaaIn your childhood, you heard all there is to know about transports but you are so excited by the journey that you forgot these details, so here's a [blue]*handy summary*[/blue] (it can be on the right or at the very bottom, depending on your screen size). Each row is a transport and indicates in which regions it can be used and what is the cost.4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000costs_overview 2
NastaaHere are examples of how it reads: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785eceec84b96.98668684.jpg[/img] The giant pig can travel through the plains or the woods for a cost of 1 giant pig card, but cannot be used in other regions. [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785eceeef6fd0.55695926.jpg[/img] The dragon can fly over the plains, the desert, or the mountains for 1 dragon card, but requires 2 cards to go over the woods.5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000costs_overview 2
NastaaThe elves are represented by the giants boots and all start from the capital: [blue]*Elvenhold*[/blue]. You will need to optimize your road and transports according to what you have but also what the other young elves are doing because they may facilitate or worsen your plans. Let's start to play!6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000town_Elvenhold 2
NastaaPhase 1 is about picking travel tiles. You can choose a tile face-up in the market. [tip] It's usually a good idea to have tiles that match your cards. ► *Take the dragon tile.*7archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment010counters_market_item_52 16
NastaaEvery elf sees that you have this [red]*dragon tile*[/red], but any [blue]*tile with a "?" sign*[/blue] is hidden to the others (until it is played).1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b85d1c7ae0000counter_hidden_31 2 player_counters_86451482_item_52 1
NastaaYou can also randomly draw a tile from the [blue]*stack*[/blue]. ► *Try that (you can click on the stack or on the "Draw from stack" button on top).*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b85e111a31810action_draw 16 counters_deck 16
NastaaYou keep picking tiles until everyone has picked 3 (no matter if they were taken from the market or randomly from the stack). ► *Take a magic cloud tile as your last tile.*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b85e3f091ae10counters_market_item_5 16
NastaaGood, now phase 2 starts, where you'll place the tiles on the map. You can put them on any road, as long as the transport can be used in this region. [tip] You can hover over (computer users) or long press (mobile/tablet users) on a tile to get info about it. ► *For example, put a dragon tile on this road in the plains.*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b860201e58910road_27 18 player_counters_86451482_item_52 17
NastaaIt means that this round, everyone can travel by dragon on [red]*this specific road*[/red] but cannot put another transport here.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b86030d3c9400counter_52 1
Nastaa► *Now, put the magic cloud tile on this road.*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b86046754fc10road_23 18 player_counters_86451482_item_5 17
NastaaAt any time you can decide not to put a tile. ► *Click on "Pass your turn" on top.*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b8607c588ad10action_pass 16
NastaaIf not all elves have consecutively passed, this phase continues and you have again the opportunity to place a tile. ► *Put a dragon tile in the desert.*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b860c1994eb10road_42 18 player_counters_86451482_item_47 17
NastaaYou may have notice this [red]*obstacle tile*[/red], every elf starts with one. An obstacle can be placed on a tile on the map: it increases the travel cost of that road by 1 card. ► *Put the obstacle on the giant pig tile.*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b861200158b10counter_37 18 player_counters_86451482_item_1 17
NastaaOnce all elves have consecutively passed, the phase 3 comes, where you get to travel. ► *Use 1 dragon card to fly on the plains with the dragon (first select the card, then click on the destination).*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b861cf5b7b510token_40 18 player_hand_item_30 17
NastaaCool, you have visited your first town. :) On the map, the token of your color was removed from this town so that you can differentiate which towns you already visited or not. On the player's panel you can see your [green]*number of towns visited so far*[/green] (the capital does not count).1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b861e2a29dc00player_score_86451482 3
NastaaContinue your journey. Sometimes you'll need more than one card. ► *Use 2 magic cloud cards to travel down in the plains.*2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b861e2a29dc10token_20 19 player_hand_item_29 17 player_hand_item_32 18
NastaaThere are no boat tiles, the raft cards can be used to travel on lake (along the white dashed lines) for 2 cards, or on the rivers where the cost depends on the direction of current (white arrows). If you go in the same direction as the current it costs 1 card, but to go backward it costs 2. ► *Minimize this tutorial comment, then use 1 raft card to travel on water (I let you figure out the destination).*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b861e73c32a10town_Jxara 2 town_Strykhaven 2 town_Elvenhold 2 player_hand_item_5 17
NastaaGood :) If you don't have the required card(s) for a transport on a road, you can use a caravan: it costs any 3 cards. It can only be used on a road that has a tile on it, and never on water (otherwise the caravan would sink!). ► *Decide which 3 cards to use to travel up in the forest, knowing that after you will want to go in the desert.* (Minimize this comment to see properly the board.)1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b861eab389010
NastaaWell done! :D ► *Now you know what to do with the last card...*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b861f3174c110
Nastaa:) Perfect, you have finished your travel for this round. You can always see in which round you are on the [red]*top right corner of the map*[/red]. 1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b861fa7aca000el_round 1
NastaaRemember about that obstacle that you placed before? To pass on [red]*this road*[/red], one must pay 2 giant pig cards (instead of 1) or any 4 cards for a caravan (instead of 3) because of it.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b8620abb90e00counter_1 1
NastaaAt the end of the round, all tiles on the map are removed and you can keep at maximum 1 travel tile (the obstacle does not count) and 4 cards. Then every elf gets a hidden tile, cards up to 8, and the [blue]*first player token*[/blue] changes. Notice that if you used your obstacle tile you will not get a new one (obstacles cannot be picked or drawn). And the new round can start!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b86270a97e400first_player 2
NastaaAfter 4 rounds, the elf who has visited the most towns wins. If necessary, the most cards left in hand is used as a tiebreaker. In case an elf manages to visit all 20 towns in only 3 rounds, they win, but that is very rare.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b86270a97e400
NastaaThere is a variant called Hometown where you are given a secret indication of a town at the beginning of the game, and you have to finish your travel there at the end of the 4th round. If you don't manage to finish there, you get 1 point penalty per distance away from this town.5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b86270a97e400
