| == Game Overview ==
| |
| In '''Pacts''', you lead a group of adventurers taming creatures and forging powerful alliances. It is a tactical optimization game focused on resource management and card synergy.
| |
|
| |
|
| == Core Concept: The Captain’s Wheel ==
| |
| Your Captain moves along an action wheel. The position of your Captain determines:
| |
| * Which '''resources''' you generate.
| |
| * Which '''card actions''' (playing or drawing) are available to you.
| |
| * Your interaction range with the central game board.
| |
|
| |
| == Gameplay ==
| |
| A turn always consists of three distinct phases:
| |
|
| |
| === 1. Movement Phase (Captain) ===
| |
| Move your Captain on the action wheel.
| |
| * Initial steps are usually free; further movement requires spending resources or energy.
| |
| * Your final position determines which actions you can perform effectively.
| |
|
| |
| === 2. Action Phase ===
| |
| Perform actions based on your Captain’s location:
| |
| * '''Recruit (Draw):''' Take cards from the market or the deck. Watch your hand limit!
| |
| * '''Play (Forge Pact):''' Place cards into your reserve. You must pay the costs shown in the top-left corner (resources or discarding other cards).
| |
| * '''Harvest:''' Collect resources from the board generated by your cards or your Captain’s position.
| |
|
| |
| === 3. Clean-up Phase ===
| |
| * Resolve instant effects of newly played cards.
| |
| * Trigger "End of Turn" abilities in your reserve.
| |
| * Pass the turn to the next player.
| |
|
| |
| == Pacts (Achievements) ==
| |
| Pacts are special goal cards in the center of the table.
| |
| * '''Claiming:''' Once your reserve shows the required icons or creature combinations, you can claim the pact.
| |
| * '''Benefit:''' Pacts grant significant victory points and often provide a powerful permanent bonus for the rest of the game.
| |
|
| |
| == End of Game & Scoring ==
| |
| The game ends when a specific number of pacts are forged or the deck runs out.
| |
| * '''Card Points:''' Each card in your reserve has a fixed point value.
| |
| * '''Pact Points:''' Add up all your completed pact cards.
| |
| * '''Resource Bonus:''' Remaining valuable resources are converted into small amounts of victory points.
