<p>Eternal Library: /* Gameplay */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Card games]]<br /> ==Preparation==<br /> 25 Cards<br /> 7 Wrath (red)<br /> 7 Greed (green)<br /> 7 Pride (purple)<br /> 4 Potions (2, 3, 4, 5)<br /> <br /> Cards are shuffled together and each player is dealt 10. <br /> 5 cards are set aside until next round.<br /> <br /> ===Passing===<br /> <br /> * Each player passes a number of cards equal to the round number.<br /> * If there are at least 2 potions in your hand, you must pass at least 1 potion.<br /> <br /> ===Trick-taking===<br /> <br /> * The starting player depends on the evil progression. If the pawn moves less than 5 spaces, Dr.Jekyll starts first. Else Mr.Hyde starts first.<br /> *Each round consists of ten tricks:<br /> * The starting player leads with any card.<br /> * If the '''starting player''' plays a colour card, the opponent must play a card of the same colour '''or''' a Potion card. If they do not have a card of the same colour, they may play any other card.<br /> * If the '''starting player''' plays a Potion card, they must announce a colour. The opponent '''must''' play a card of the named colour if they can, even if they have a Potion. If they don't have any of the named colour, they may play any card.<br /> <br /> ===Deciding the Winner of a Trick===<br /> <br /> * Compare the played cards to determine the winner of the trick.<br /> * If both cards are the same colour, the highest number wins.<br /> * If both cards have different colours, the stronger colour wins. (Colour strengths are tracked at the top of the board, weakest on the left and strongest on the right). The first colour to be played during a round automatically becomes the weakest colour. When a second colour is played, that becomes the middle colour and the remaining colour becomes the strongest.)<br /> * If someone played a Potion, the Potion's effect is resolved, then the highest number wins.<br /> * The &quot;+&quot; on the potion cards is worth 0.5: Potion 3+ would beat Red 3, but lose to Red 4.<br /> <br /> == Potion effects ==<br /> <br /> The effect of a potion is based on the card played by the other player:<br /> * Purple: winner steals a trick.<br /> * Green: players swap two cards.<br /> * Red: reset the color ranking.<br /> * Potion: they neutralise each other, so nothing happens and the highest wins.<br /> <br /> == Round Scoring ==<br /> <br /> The pawn moves a number of spaces towards Hyde's end of the board equal to the difference between the number of tricks each player won (irrespective of who actually won the most tricks).<br /> <br /> == Game End ==<br /> <br /> The winning condition is different for each player.<br /> <br /> * Hyde: if the pawn ever reaches the last space on Hyde's side, Hyde wins immediately.<br /> * Jekyll: if after three rounds Hyde has not won, then Jekyll wins.<br /> <br /> == Variants ==<br /> <br /> * Return Match: Play two games and switch roles between. The winner is the Hyde player who reaches the leftmost space in the fewest number of rounds. If both players reached the leftmost space in the same number of rounds, the game ends in a tie.</div>

<p>Eternal Library: </p> <hr /> <div>There are two factions in Secret Moon (three when played with the '''Thief'''). <br /> <br /> '''Blue Team:''' '''Minister''' and '''Guards''': their goal is to either capture the Princess or reveal both the Princess and Wanderer.<br /> <br /> x4 Guards (cannot capture but can look for and reveal other players' roles)<br /> <br /> x1 Minister (is able to act as a guard but can also capture the Princess) (Blue team loses if Minister is captured)<br /> <br /> '''Red Team:''' '''Princess''', '''Wanderer''' and '''Priestess'''. They win if the Minister is captured or if the Princess and/or Wanderer stay hidden until the end.<br /> <br /> x1 Princess (may look at, reveal and capture other players)(Red team loses if Princess is captured)<br /> <br /> x1 Wanderer (may look at, reveal and capture other players)(Red team loses if both Princess and Wanderer are revealed)<br /> <br /> x1 Priestess (may look at, reveal and capture other players)<br /> <br /> One match goes over three rounds, during each round the following actions are available:<br /> <br /> '''Inspect''': secretly look at another player's character card.<br /> <br /> '''Inquire''': ask &quot;Who goes there?&quot; to another player. This will give a clue about this player's identity.<br /> The Princess and the Wanderer will answer &quot;...&quot; when asked about their identity, while the Priestess and Guards will answer &quot;It's just me.&quot; The Minister answers &quot;You fool! I'm the Minister!&quot;<br /> <br /> '''Accuse''': guess a character card and reveal it (if incorrect, reveal your own). '''Note''': when Guards are revealed, they are automatically captured.<br /> <br /> '''Protect''': defend someone or yourself (unavailable during round 3).<br /> <br /> '''Disrupt''': force another player to discard their turn order card (in exchange, you are captured).<br /> <br /> '''Capture''': capture a player with a revealed character ('''unavailable''' for Guards).<br /> <br /> '''Pass''': choose a discarded turn order card and take it (for the next round).<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Thief''': The Thief is an optional third faction. <br /> <br /> He tries to avoid being captured until the end. <br /> The Thief cannot protect himself nor can he use '''Capture'''.<br /> All characters including soldiers can &quot;Capture&quot; you.<br /> When inquired about his identity, he can choose to answer like the Princess or the Minister. <br /> The Thief wins alone if he is not captured by the end of the game. However, NPC thief cannot win.<br /> <br /> For example: the Princess gets captured, but the Thief (not an NPC) is still alive. The Thief wins and is the only one to receive a victory point.</div>

<p>Eternal Library: </p> <hr /> <div>==Summary==<br /> Players create a puzzle using the allotted pieces then race to see who can complete the other puzzles the fastest.<br /> <br /> ==Phase 1: Construction==<br /> Using all objects, each player places objects into the grid to create a puzzle that all other players will attempt to solve. All objects must be used and can be arranged in any way the player desires. When a player decides they are happy with the position of all objects they may select &quot;ready&quot; and prepare for phase 2.<br /> <br /> ==Phase 2: Solving==<br /> When all players have completed their grids and pressed &quot;ready&quot; each player will receive the puzzle of another player. Players will then select &quot;start&quot; to begin solving the puzzle.<br /> <br /> By placing objects on the grid, each player will need to deduce how the objects have been placed for this puzzle. To do this, the players must look at the numbers and colors on each square.

<p>Eternal Library: </p> <hr /> <div>==Summary==<br /> Players create a puzzle using the allotted pieces then race to see who can complete the other puzzles the fastest.<br /> <br /> ==Phase 1: Construction==<br /> Using all objects, each player places objects into the grid to create a puzzle that all other players will attempt to solve. All objects must be used and can be arranged in any way the player desires. When a player decides they are happy with the position of all objects they may select &quot;ready&quot; and prepare for phase 2.<br /> <br /> ==Phase 2: Solving==<br /> When all players have completed their grids and pressed &quot;ready&quot; each player will receive the puzzle of another player. Players will then select &quot;start&quot; to begin solving the puzzle.<br /> <br /> By placing objects on the grid, each player will need to deduce how the objects have been placed for this puzzle. To do this, the players must look at the numbers and colors on each square. If a square has a red outline that means that square's laser does not meet the requirements of reflection; the laser projected from that square does not project in the manner the other player set up with their puzzle. <br /> <br /> '''A puzzle is solved when a player places objects so that all lasers for all squares meet their requirements.'''<br /> <br /> Players will attempt to solve each other player's puzzle.<br /> <br /> Players may &quot;give up&quot; at any time if they find a puzzle too difficult. <br /> <br /> ==Game Physics==<br /> Each square with a number projects a laser directly away from itself.

Players must discard down to 7 tiles and 7 inks. <br /> <br /> ==First Hour (Inks)==<br /> '''Players collect inks for laying tiles.'''<br /> The player with the Quill (the Archivist) always begins this phase. Play continues until all inks are gone.<br /> <br /> Players may take 1 or 2 of the available inks '''or''' may take the grimoire. <br /> * '''Inks''' - players may select any two inks, with one exception: '''Gold and Black inks cannot be taken together'''.<br /> **Black ink is important because it is required for every tile.<br /> **Gold ink is required by some tiles but can also be used as any other color.<br /> * '''Grimoire''' - the player who takes the grimoire does not take any more ink this phase, but goes first during the Second Hour.<br /> <br /> ==Second Hour (Lectern)==<br /> '''Players select lecterns that have a bonus and contain tiles'''<br /> This phase will play out in one of two ways depending on if a player took the grimoire during the First Hour.<br /> <br /> *'''If no player selected the grimoire:''' the Quill player will select a lectern and choose which of the other players to give it. The receiving player will then do the same for another player until each player has a lectern. All other lecterns are discarded and their tiles are placed on the Scriptorium (the board in the upper left).<br /> <br /> *'''If a player selected the grimoire during the First Hour:''' that player will select a lectern for themselves. Then, starting with the Quill player, each player will select a lectern for another following the rules above. <br /> <br /> ==Third Hour (Illumination)==<br /> '''Players play tiles onto their manuscript to gain points, and/or purchase tiles from each other or the Scriptorum board.'''<br /> <br /> The player with the Quill (the Archivist) always begins this phase.

'''This scores illumination points.'''<br /> * '''Play a tile without ink''' - This can only be done with border tiles. Players may select and lay a border tile on their manuscript using no ink. '''This does not score illumination points.'''<br /> * '''Purchase a tile''' - Players may use one of their available help tokens to purchase a tile from the Scriptorium or another player. See Help Tokens below for more information.<br /> ** '''From the Scriptorium'''- Players must first select one of their available help tokens, then click on the pile of tiles they wish to purchase from, then click the tile they want. This tile will be placed in their reserve spot and is immediately available to place by spending ink (or without if it is a border tile). <br /> ** '''From another player''' - Players must first select one of their available help tokens, then click on the tile they wish to purchase from another player's reserve slot.

'''The player from whom you've taken a tile will immediately receive the help token you've used and may use it on their turn.'''<br /> <br /> ==End of the Day==<br /> *All tiles not played from a player's lectern will go into their reserve slots on their player board. <br /> *Players are limited to 7 tiles in reserve and 7 inks between days. During this phase, players must discard down to 7 tiles in their reserve slots, and 7 total inks in their ink wells.<br /> <br /> ==Help Tokens==<br /> *Each player begins with 3 Help Tokens (the small circles on the upper left part of your player board). <br /> *They can be used to purchase tiles during the Third Hour (Illumination) from either the Scriptorium or from another player. <br /> *Each unused Help Token gives a player 2 points at the end of the game. <br /> *If used to purchase a tile from another player, that player will receive the Help Token unused and can then either use it themselves later, or keep it for the 2 point bonus.

A kingdom may contain leaders of different players as long as they are different colors.<br /> <br /> ==Tile Placement==<br /> Tiles can be placed anywhere on the map with the following restrictions.<br /> * No tiles except for blue may be placed on rivers<br /> * Blue tiles can '''only''' be placed on rivers<br /> * No tile may be placed on top of a leader<br /> * Only [[#Catastrophe Tiles|catastrophes]] can be placed on other tiles<br /> <br /> When a tile is placed in a kingdom, the leader of the matching color in that kingdom scores a point of the tile's color. If there is no leader of that color, but there is a king (black leader), then the king (black leader) scores a point of the tile's color.<br /> <br /> If a tile is placed such that it joins two kingdom, a [[#War|war]] is started and no placement point will be scored (even if there are no opposing leaders).<br /> <br /> If a tile is placed such that a 2x2 square of like colored tiles now exists, a [[#Monuments|monument]] of a matching color may be built.<br /> <br /> ==Leader Positioning==<br /> A leader may be positioned from your hand to the board, from the board to another spot on the board, or returned from the board to your hand with the following restrictions.<br /> * A leader must be placed on an empty space<br /> * A leader must always be adjacent (common edges, not diagonal) to a temple (red tile)<br /> * A leader may not be placed to join kingdoms<br /> * A leader cannot be placed on a river<br /> <br /> Placing a leader does not award any points. However, a player may not score any points without having at least one leader on the board.<br /> <br /> If a leader is placed in a kingdom containing a similar colored leader, then a [[#Revolts|revolt]] occurs.<br /> <br /> ==Revolt==<br /> A revolt occurs when a player places a leader in a kingdom that already contains a leader of that color.<br /> <br /> The newly placed leader is the attacking leader and the opposing leader is the defender.<br /> <br /> To resolve the revolt strength needs to be determined.<br /> * First count the number of temples (red tiles) adjacent to each leader, that is their board strength.<br /> * Then the attacking player may play temples (red tiles) from their hand as additional support.<br /> * After seeing the attacking leader's support the defender may likewise play temples (red tiles) from their hand as support.<br /> <br /> The winner is the leader with the greater total strength (board strength + support), defender always wins ties.<br /> <br /> The losing leader is returned to their owners hand, and the winner scores one red. All support tiles played from hands are discarded.<br /> <br /> ==War==<br /> A war occurs when a player places a tile that joins two kingdoms. All leaders that have a like-colored leader in the joined kingdom are in conflict.<br /> <br /> Wars are resolved through the following steps.<br /> * Determine who is the attacking leader<br /> The player who placed the tile is the attacker. If the active player has multiple leaders that are in conflict, they may select one to be the first attacking leader. If the active player controls no leaders in conflict, the next player in turn order selects a leader to be the attacking leader.<br /> * Count board strength for attacker and defender<br /> In a war a leader's board strength is the number of like-colored tiles in their kingdom.<br /> * Play support from hands<br /> Starting with the attacker, play tiles from hand matching the attacking/defending leader color as support.<br /> * Determine winner and remove tiles<br /> The winning leader is the leader with greater total strength (board strength + support), defender always wins ties.<br /> <br /> The loser withdraws their leader and all supporting tiles from the board. This may break apart the kingdom.<br /> The winner scores one influence of the defending leaders color plus one for each tile removed.<br /> <br /> If the war involved priests (red leaders), then no temples (red tiles) supporting another leader or containing treasures are removed.<br /> <br /> If there are still leaders in conflict continue to the next war.<br /> <br /> ==Monuments==<br /> Whenever a player places the fourth tile in a 2x2 square of the same color, a monument may be built on the spot.<br /> The tiles are flipped over and a monument is placed on them.<br /> The monument has 2 colors, and one of those colors must match the flipped tiles.<br /> Monuments do not have a color of their own for purposes of supporting leaders or counting as board strength.<br /> <br /> Monuments regularly provide influence. <br /> Every monument awards 1 influence to the active player at the end of the turn for each of their like-colored leaders in the monument's kingdom.<br /> <br /> ==Treasures==<br /> Treasures are wild points.<br /> At the start of the game all temples on the board start with an treasure on them.<br /> At the end of a player's turn if a kingdom contains 2 treasures and a green leader, the leader's owner picks up one of the treasures.<br /> Some of the starting temples have an extra border around them, those treasures must be taken first if there is an option.<br /> <br /> ==Catastrophe Tiles==<br /> Each player starts the game with 2 catastrophe tiles.<br /> These cannot be discarded, and are the only tiles that may be played on top of other tiles.<br /> They destroy the tile under them and cannot be part of kingdoms.<br /> <br /> ==English Variant==<br /> During a conflict (war or revolt) both the attacker and defender are only able to contribute tiles if the total would exceed the strength of the other. This variant prevents players from using conflicts as a way to simply dump tiles from their hand. <br /> <br /> ==Civilization Buildings Variant==<br /> There are four civilization buildings, one for each color.<br /> <br /> When a player places a tile so that there are three or more in a row (horizontal or vertical)they may place the same color building on any of those tiles. <br /> <br /> If the building is already on the board, a player may move it to another row if it is longer than the one it is currently on. <br /> <br /> Tiles that have a building cannot be destroyed by war, revolt, or catastrophe. They can be flipped to create a monument which takes the building off the board.<br /> <br /> Civilization buildings must be placed prior to building a monument or wonder. <br /> <br /> Placing a tile into a kingdom that contains a building gives the leader there two cubes instead of one (blue leader receives two blue cubes instead of one, etc.).<br /> <br /> ==Wonder Variant==<br /> The wonder is a special, single, five-tile monument in a cross-like shape. A player may build this wonder when they place a tile that results in a cross-like shape of a single color. All rules for monuments apply.<br /> <br /> At the end of a turn in which a player has a King connected to the wonder, they may receive a cube of any color they choose.</div>

<p>Eternal Library: </p> <hr /> <div>==Summary==<br /> You play as the leader of an civilization in fertile Mesopotamia (which means &quot;between two rivers.&quot;) By laying tiles of different types, you will shape the landscape of this ancient region, fight wars, suppress or lead revolts, and watch cities rise and fall, all while attempting to gain influence in 4 key areas. At the end of the game the winner is the person with the highest influence in their lowest category.<br /> <br /> Each player is represented by a specific shape goat/urn/bow/lion) and not a color.<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+Areas of Influence<br /> !

A kingdom may contain leaders of different players as long as they are different colors.<br /> <br /> ==Tile Placement==<br /> Tiles can be placed anywhere on the map with the following restrictions.<br /> * No tiles except for blue may be placed on rivers<br /> * Blue tiles can '''only''' be placed on rivers<br /> * No tile may be placed on top of a leader<br /> * Only [[#Catastrophe Tiles|catastrophes]] can be placed on other tiles<br /> <br /> When a tile is placed in a kingdom, the leader of the matching color in that kingdom scores a point of the tile's color. If there is no leader of that color, but there is a king (black leader), then the king (black leader) scores a point of the tile's color.<br /> <br /> If a tile is placed such that it joins two kingdom, a [[#War|war]] is started and no placement point will be scored (even if there are no opposing leaders).<br /> <br /> If a tile is placed such that a 2x2 square of like colored tiles now exists, a [[#Monuments|monument]] of a matching color may be built.<br /> <br /> ==Leader Positioning==<br /> A leader may be positioned from your hand to the board, from the board to another spot on the board, or returned from the board to your hand with the following restrictions.<br /> * A leader must be placed on an empty space<br /> * A leader must always be adjacent (common edges, not diagonal) to a temple (red tile)<br /> * A leader may not be placed to join kingdoms<br /> * A leader cannot be placed on a river<br /> <br /> Placing a leader does not award any points. However, a player may not score any points without having at least one leader on the board.<br /> <br /> If a leader is placed in a kingdom containing a similar colored leader, then a [[#Revolts|revolt]] occurs.<br /> <br /> ==Revolt==<br /> A revolt occurs when a player places a leader in a kingdom that already contains a leader of that color.<br /> <br /> The newly placed leader is the attacking leader and the opposing leader is the defender.<br /> <br /> To resolve the revolt strength needs to be determined.<br /> * First count the number of temples (red tiles) adjacent to each leader, that is their board strength.<br /> * Then the attacking player may play temples (red tiles) from their hand as additional support.<br /> * After seeing the attacking leader's support the defender may likewise play temples (red tiles) from their hand as support.<br /> <br /> The winner is the leader with the greater total strength (board strength + support), defender always wins ties.<br /> <br /> The losing leader is returned to their owners hand, and the winner scores one red. All support tiles played from hands are discarded.<br /> <br /> ==War==<br /> A war occurs when a player places a tile that joins two kingdoms. All leaders that have a like-colored leader in the joined kingdom are in conflict.<br /> <br /> Wars are resolved through the following steps.<br /> * Determine who is the attacking leader<br /> The player who placed the tile is the attacker. If the active player has multiple leaders that are in conflict, they may select one to be the first attacking leader. If the active player controls no leaders in conflict, the next player in turn order selects a leader to be the attacking leader.<br /> * Count board strength for attacker and defender<br /> In a war a leader's board strength is the number of like-colored tiles in their kingdom.<br /> * Play support from hands<br /> Starting with the attacker, play tiles from hand matching the attacking/defending leader color as support.<br /> * Determine winner and remove tiles<br /> The winning leader is the leader with greater total strength (board strength + support), defender always wins ties.<br /> <br /> The loser withdraws their leader and all supporting tiles from the board. This may break apart the kingdom.<br /> The winner scores one influence of the defending leaders color plus one for each tile removed.<br /> <br /> If the war involved priests (red leaders), then no temples (red tiles) supporting another leader or containing treasures are removed.<br /> <br /> If there are still leaders in conflict continue to the next war.<br /> <br /> ==Monuments==<br /> Whenever a player places the fourth tile in a 2x2 square of the same color, a monument may be built on the spot.<br /> The tiles are flipped over and a monument is placed on them.<br /> The monument has 2 colors, and one of those colors must match the flipped tiles.<br /> Monuments do not have a color of their own for purposes of supporting leaders or counting as board strength.<br /> <br /> Monuments regularly provide influence. <br /> Every monument awards 1 influence to the active player at the end of the turn for each of their like-colored leaders in the monument's kingdom.<br /> <br /> ==Treasures==<br /> Treasures are wild points.<br /> At the start of the game all temples on the board start with an treasure on them.<br /> At the end of a player's turn if a kingdom contains 2 treasures and a green leader, the leader's owner picks up one of the treasures.<br /> Some of the starting temples have an extra border around them, those treasures must be taken first if there is an option.<br /> <br /> ==Catastrophe Tiles==<br /> Each player starts the game with 2 catastrophe tiles.<br /> These cannot be discarded, and are the only tiles that may be played on top of other tiles.<br /> They destroy the tile under them and cannot be part of kingdoms.</div>
