Balada

The game is played in twelve rounds.

In each round, the players will have to fill in a square on their "Landscape" sheet. This board symbolizes the path that the hero had to cross to achieve his quest. The game is in the flip & write genre.

At each turn, two "Event" cards and one "Environment" card are revealed. Each player must then choose one of these events and draw its symbol on his "Landscape" sheet. But you must think carefully before making your choice. Indeed, the third card drawn at each turn is an "Environment" card that will limit the choices of the players in the places where to write its symbol on the board.

To maximize points, you'll need to make sure your hero's quest goes as smoothly as possible. Each event card has properties and earns you a number of points depending on its placement on the hero's path and its characteristics. For example, an "Obstacle" card represents an enemy. Each enemy can be defeated with a "Sword" card.

Each defeated enemy gives you an amount of points. On the other hand, if too many enemies inflict wounds on you, you will not score any more points. You should therefore try to place a "Sword" event before each enemy as much as possible. Among the "Event" cards, players will have to juggle between magic portals, bosses, healing fountains, equipment collection points, treasures, etc...
A game for young and old:

•     In the standard mode, your hero travels to the top of the mountain, then returns to the second side of the "Landscape" sheet.
•     The easy variant allows you to play on one side of the map with a single deck of 12 event cards without having to choose between two events each round. However, you should always think carefully about where to place your symbol.
