Fantastic Trails (CZ/EN/DE) - card game

Product detailed description

Fantastic Trails challenges you to help the ants through the forest by creating valuable trails that will cover lots of ground, ideally picking up honeydew along the way.

🐜 Gameplay

To set up, each player chooses two of four random Forest Floor Cards and places them in front of themselves. The number and pattern decks are shuffled separately.

On a turn, you reveal the top number and pattern card. Each player can then write the indicated number into spaces showing the indicated pattern. Jokers are included in each deck, allowing you to write a number of your choice in the indicated pattern or vice versa.

The Anteater is also in each deck: if one is revealed, no one writes anything that turn, and you immediately reveal new cards.

You start with four Worker Ants and can spend them to adjust the value of a number or let you write in any pattern you wish.

If you complete a Task written on a Forest Floor Card (such as surrounding a space or filling a line or section), you receive the indicated bonus—some combination of worker ants, honeydew, and the ability to mark indicated spaces.

🌳 Scoring

After the number and pattern decks are empty, you score points equal to your accumulated honeydew, and then receive a new Forest Floor Card. You repeat this after the second round.

After the third round, you score honeydew a third time, and then score a Trail on each card. To create a trail, mark a continuous line on each card through adjacent spaces where the numbers on this line are the same or one higher than the previous number. Score points equal to the number of spaces covered.
