Nekonyancer[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed1560a284.79267854.jpg[/img] The next Doge of Venice will soon be elected, and two families are expecting to see their representative take the title. Everyone at the carnival is masked, giving you the perfect opportunity to discredit your rival! [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
Nekonyancer*Volto* is a 2-player game of tactics. On their turn, players can move one piece onto another square. If they move onto an opponent's piece, they can *capture* it, just like in traditional chess. Both players' pieces are *masked,* so neither will know what the other player's pieces are until it's too late!2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerThere are 3 ways to win: *1.* Capture your opponent's [red]*candidate.*[/red] *2.* Fool your opponent into capturing both of your [blue]*ladies.*[/blue] *3.* Move your candidate onto the opponent's [green]*Palace row.*[/green]3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000token_1 3 token_2 3 token_3 3 token_4 3 token_5 3 token_14 2 token_16 2 token_19 1
NekonyancerAt the beginning of the game, each player may rearrange their ten pieces however they wish. Let's try it! *Click on the indicated pieces to switch them, starting with the bottom-right piece.*4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment010tokeninside_12 18 tokeninside_20 17
NekonyancerGood! I think our pieces are in a good formation now. *Click on "Validate" at the top!*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6451cf4d9576310
NekonyancerOkay, it's time for our first turn. We have to select one piece and move it, respecting the [blue]following rules:[/blue] - You *must* move a piece on your turn. No passing allowed. - You can move onto an empty square or an opponent's piece, capturing it. You may not move onto one of your own pieces. [green]Each piece also has its own specific movement rules![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6451cf793482500
NekonyancerLet's start with [red]*the soldier.*[/red] Each player only has one of these. The soldier can only move forward, but it can move any number of spaces. However, it may not jump over pieces.2token_136451cf793482500token_13 1
Nekonyancer*Select your [red]Soldier![/red]* *Move him to the [blue]indicated square![/blue]*3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6451cf793482510square_4_3 2 token_13 1
NekonyancerGood! Now it's the opponent's turn...1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6451cf7f188c400
Nekonyancer*Yikes!* They moved one of their pieces two spaces forward, capturing our soldier! Our fallen comrade will sit quietly on the sidelines - unmasked - until the game is over.1token_136451cf85be4a900token_13 1
NekonyancerSoldiers are the only pieces that can more than one space. Therefore, this must be the [blue]*opponent's soldier!*[/blue]2token_76451cf85be4a900token_7 2
NekonyancerLet's move one of our [red]*advisors*[/red] to threaten their soldier. Advisors can move one space diagonally. Each player starts with three of them. *Move our advisor to the [blue]indicated spot![/blue]*3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6451cf85be4a910square_5_4 2 token_15 1
Nekonyancer*Good!* Remember, soldiers cannot move diagonally, so our advisor is safe. 1token_156451cf8beded800
NekonyancerThey moved their soldier one space forward, dodging our advisor. Hmm, I wonder why they didn't move all the way forward to capture [blue]*this piece?*[/blue] Maybe they got this game confused with chess! 😂1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6451cfa65a49400token_18 2
NekonyancerLuckily, we have [blue]*another advisor*[/blue] who happens to be in the perfect position to take them out. *Move it onto the opponent's piece to capture it!*2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6451cfa65a49410token_7 1 token_20 2
Nekonyancer*Nice work!* When we captured their piece, its identity was revealed (even though its movement made it obvious earlier).1token_76451cfaabc70500
NekonyancerI'll quickly go over [red]*Nobles*[/red] and [green]*Candidates*[/green] now. [red]*Nobles*[/red] are the counterpart to advisors. They can move 1 space orthogonally. Each player starts with 3. [green]*Candidates*[/green] are similar to kings in chess. They can move 1 space in any direction. If you lose yours, it's game over!1token_186451cfcba934800tokeninside_11 1 tokeninside_18 1 tokeninside_19 3 tokeninside_12 1
NekonyancerNext, let's move one of our [red]*ladies.*[/red] These gals are a bit different. They move just like candidates do - 1 space in any direction - but they [red]can't capture enemy pieces.[/red] (That's why the circles in their movement diagrams are white!) *Move her to the [blue]indicated space![/blue]*2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6451cfcba934810square_5_5 2 token_14 1
NekonyancerThere's one more thing about ladies that's special - when they are captured, the capturing piece is dishonored and removed from the board as well! Let's see if we can bait our opponent into capturing our [red]*lady.*[/red] *Move her to the [blue]indicated spot![/blue]*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6451cffd8f99010square_4_5 2 token_14 1
Nekonyancer[red]Our opponent fell for it![/red] And the piece they used to capture our lady was... [green]*their own candidate?!*[/green] Their candidate was removed from the game, which is the same as us capturing it, so we immediately won! Hah!1token_96451d0092bcb300token_9 8
NekonyancerRemember, there are [blue]two other ways[/blue] you can win the game: - Fool your opponent into capturing both of your ladies. - Move your candidate onto the opponent's [green]*Palace row.*[/green]2square_1_36451d0092bcb300token_1 3 token_2 3 square_1_3 3 token_4 3 token_5 3
Nekonyancer[blue]*Thank you for playing through this tutorial for Volto!*[/blue] If you have any questions or comments about the tutorial, feel free to send *Nekonyancer* a message! A big thank you goes out to *Mistergos* for bringing this game to BGA! Have fun! :D3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6451d0092bcb300
