<hr />
<div>In "Le Dernier Peuple" (The Last Folks), you personify a people.<br />
<br />
Each player has a "home" card which of his/her color. You play cards to move your 2 meeples around the cards's circle and gain points.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Goal ==<br />
Reach 12 points.<br />
<br />
== A turn==<br />
<br />
=== Power Cards Phase (optional) ===<br />
You can use a power card (those cards are collected on pickaxes). Each card has a unique effect - read it by hovering the card in your hand with your mouse. See section below for more details on each specific power card.<br />
<br />
=== Movement Phase ===<br />
You have to chose between:<br />
(a) drawing 2 movement cards; OR<br />
(b) use 1 movement card then draw 1 movement card.<br />
<br />
A grey downward arrow allows you to move your meeple ; a black upward arrow allows you to move any opponent's meeple. Each arrow gives 2 possibilities : <br />
(a) moving a meeple by the number indicated in the circle <br />
(positive = clockwise ; negative = unclockwise); OR <br />
(b) moving a meeple toward the card with the number indicated in the square.<br />
<br />
Some movement cards have 2 small numbers next to the big circled number. The big number X is always the addition of the 2 small numbers Y and +/- 1 : X=Y+1 or X=Y-1. It means that, by using this card, you'll first move the meeple by Y cards, then see if an event (attack or supply) occurs. If yes, solve the event, and redeploy the involved meeples normally. If no event occurs, move the meeple once more.<br />
<br />
If your meeple ends up on a card with a pickaxe, you draw a power card (purple outline).<br />
<br />
You'll gain points by surrounding any "home" card with your 2 meeples or with 1 of your meeple and one opponent's meeple.<br />
<br />
=== Resolving attacks and supplies ===<br />
<br />
''Supply'' : If a player surrounds his own "home" card with his 2 meeples, he gets 2 points.<br />
<br />
''Noble Attack'' : If a player surrounds another player's "home" card with his 2 meeples, he wins 3 points, and the attacked enemy loses 1 point.<br />
<br />
''Sneaky attack'' : If a home card is surrounded by a meeple of the active player and another player's meeple, the active player gets 2 points, the other meeple's owner gets 1 point, and the attacked player loses 1 point.<br />
<br />
=== Redeployment ===<br />
<br />
If an attack or a supply has been made, then both meeples involved will be redeployed. The meeple of the active player gets redeployed first ; then the other meeple (of the same player, or of another player).<br />
<br />
A movement card is drawn, and the meeple is moved toward the card with the number indicated in the square. Same process for the second meeple.<br />
<br />
Basically, on BGA, this will mean the 2 meeples will be teleported randomly to some card on the board.<br />
<br />
== Power Card Details ==<br />
(Card names may not match BGA exactly since Google translate used: http://www.ledernierpeuple.com/regles.php#but_du_jeu)<br />

Curse: The player of your choice returns 1 VP to the bank.<br />
<br />

<br />
Barter: Trade your hand of cards with the player of your choice.<br />
<br />
Speed: Play 2 consecutive rounds.<br />
<br />

<br />
Switch: Swap one of your pawns with another pawn of the player of your choice. (Do not resolve the possible actions generated by this new configuration.)<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Played out of turn in response to an attack or power card (except Swap) ===<br />
<br />
Defence: You do not suffer the effect and the attackers do not earn VPs. Moreover, in case of attack countered attackers pawns are still repositioned.</div>FanEmperor83https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/index.php?title=Gamehelpdownforce&diff=6737Gamehelpdownforce2021-01-05T15:38:50Z<p>FanEmperor83: /* Savanna Stretch */</p>
<hr />
<div>Downforce is a card-driven bidding, racing, and betting game for 2-6 players based on Top Race, the award-winning design by the legendary Wolfgang Kramer. Players first bid to own the six cars in the race, then they play cards from their hand to speed them around the track. However, most cards will also move their opponents' cars. So figuring out just the right time to play a card is the key to victory. Along the way, players make secret bets on who they think will win the race. Whoever has the most money from their prize money, winning bets, and remaining bank wins.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Start of the game ==<br />
<br />
The game is composed of:<br />
<br />
* a game board<br />
* six colored cars (black, blue, green, yellow, orange, red)<br />
* speed cards with one to six lines with a color and a speed on each<br />
* six special speed cards with a single speed line<br />
* power cards with special abilities <br />
<br />
A race circuit is chosen and all six racing cars are placed randomly on starting spaces. Then, six color cards are shuffled and disposed on a stack. Each player takes an equal number of speed cards.<br />
<br />
== Auctions ==<br />
<br />
The first color card is then drawn and every player will secretly and simultaneously choose a card from their hand to auction on it. The highest speed line matching the current auction color will win the auction and get the car, the special speed card and a power card associated to the car if this game option has been selected.<br />
<br />
When all auctions are processed, the race begins.<br />
<br />
== Player's turn ==<br />
<br />
During a player's turn, a player plays a speed card and moves in order every car that matches a speed line on it from top to bottom. Cars have to move as far as possible unless blocked by "traffic jams" and it is the current player that moves all cars, even opponents'. So it is possible (and advised!) to play opponents' car so bad they are stuck and cannot move.<br />
<br />
If during a turn a car crosses a yellow line, all players must secretly bid on which car will win the race. Betting on the winner will provide additional points and sound bets can win a game even for the last of the race. <br />
<br />
== End of the game ==<br />
<br />
The game ends when all of the cars have crossed the finish line. Payouts are given to players according to their race results:<br />
<br />
* '''winner of the race''': 12M$<br />
* '''second''': 9M$<br />
* '''third''': 6M$<br />
* '''fourth''': 4M$<br />
* '''fifth''': 2M$<br />
<br />
Additionally, betting payouts are awarded as follows:<br />
<br />
* '''first bet''':<br />
** betting on the winner: 9M$<br />
** betting on the second: 6M$<br />
** betting on the third: 3M$<br />
* '''second bet''':<br />
** betting on the winner: 6M$<br />
** betting on the second: 4M$<br />
** betting on the third: 2M$<br />
* '''third bet''':<br />
** betting on the winner: 3M$<br />
** betting on the second: 2M$<br />
** betting on the third: 1M$<br />
<br />
<br />
== Variants ==<br />
<br />
=== Powers ===<br />
Powers can be added into the game for additional complexity and more dynamic games. During each car auction, a power is attached to a car an the winner of the auction get the power. If a player has several powers, they must choose only one.<br />
<br />
The base powers are the following:<br />
<br />
* '''Aggressive''': If you play a card with your car at the top the the card, you may move that car 1 additional space<br />
* '''Cunning''': You always move your cars, even on other player's turns<br />
* '''Determined''': On any player's turn, if your car moved into only rectangular spaces, you may move it 2 additional spaces<br />
* '''Strategic''': If you play a speed car with all six colors on it, you may ignore one color of it<br />
* '''Tricky''': On your turn, you may move the cars in reverse order, from lower to highest<br />
* '''Unpredictable''': If you play a card with a wild on it, you may use that wild for a color that is already on the card<br />
<br />
If the "additional powers" option is selected, the powers from the ''Danger Circuit'' expansion are added into the game:<br />
<br />
* '''Ambitious''': On any player's turn, if your car crosses a betting line you may move it 2 additional spaces<br />
* '''Experienced''': On any player's turn, if any car starts its movement in a space directly ahead of your car, you may move your car into the space that car moved out of<br />
* '''Tough''': On any player's turn, if your car ends its movement in a space adjacent to a rumble strip, you may move it 2 additional spaces<br />
* '''Bold''': On your turn, if your car would move 1 or 2 spaces, move it 3 spaces instead<br />
* '''Defensive''': If none of your cars move on your turn, move one of your cars 3 spaces<br />
* '''Reckless''': On your turn, if your car moves through a Tight Space, you may move it 2 additional spaces<br />
<br />
=== Betting variants ===<br />
<br />
Two additional betting variants are provided:<br />
<br />
* '''odds betting''': instead of normal betting payout, multiply the '''current''' position of the car you bet on (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) by the betting modifier (3 for finishing 1st, 2 for finishing 2nd, 1 for finishing third on the first bet; 2,1,0 for the second and; 1,0,0 for the third) to get the payout at the end. For example, your first bet is on a car that is in 4th place and it ends up in 1st place at the end of the race, your payout is 4x3 = $12M! If you bet on a car that is in second on the second bet and maintains that place to the end of the race, you would only earn 2x1 = $2M. And finally, if you bet on the 1st place car on the last bet, but they end up placing only 3rd, you would get nothing because 1x0 = $0M. <br />
<br />
* '''odds betting, winner only''': same as above but only the winning car provide payouts, making it a high risk, high reward game of all or nothing!<br />
<br />
== Race Tracks ==<br />
<br />
There are 6 tracks for choosing in the game.<br />
<br />
=== River Station and Marina Bay ===<br />
There are normal boards with no special features.<br />
<br />
=== Crosstown Speedway ===<br />
This track features two crossover loops and two split sections. Cars entering the crossover loop must move into the loop. They cannot move directly from the entry to the exit directly or with a power.<br />
<br />
=== Switchback Pass ===<br />
This track features dangerous spaces which are too small to fit any cars and have cracks on them. They can only be used to pass another car. You cannot end your movement on it and you are forced to move back to a regular space if there is one.<br />
<br />
=== Aloha Sands ===<br />
This tracks features ramps which can be used to zoom ahead. They can only be used if the car has an equal or higher speed than the one on the ramp, has at least 1 space of movement remaining and the landing space is empty.<br />
<br />
=== Savanna Stretch ===<br />
This tracks features animals including antelope, elephant and python. They occupy one space on the board and block any movement until passed by, then they will move to their next space, but only AFTER all cars have moved.</div>FanEmperor83
