Rycerze okrągłego sera is a dynamic, two-player card game set in the world of the web comic Fox Matters by Beata Smugaj. During gameplay, participants will create their own teams of fluffers by recruiting foxes from the market and resolving their effects. Each successive card selected will not only affect the course of the game, but also the way points are scored at the end of the game. The goal of the game is to get the most profitable combination of fox cards that will bring the most points at the end of the game. To do this, players will take their turns. In his turn, a player: Buys a fox card from the queue (the cost of each card depends on its place in the row). Resolves the ability of the purchased card. Places the purchased card face up in his team. Shifts the cards in the queue to the left. Draws as many cards from the deck as there are empty spaces in the queue (usually 1). Replenishes the queue with any cards from your hand. In this way we act until the deck is exhausted. The player with the most points wins. In case of a tie, the other player wins. Lisi król i jego puchaterowie wyruszają na walkę z koszmarami. W tym czasie mieszkańcy lisiego królestwa, Foxenfurtu, postanawiają stworzyć zastępcze drużyny puchaterów. Rycerze okrągłego sera to dynamiczna, dwuosobowa gra karciana osadzona w świecie internetowego komiksu "Lisie Sprawy" autorstwa Beaty Smugaj. Podczas rozgrywki uczestnicy będą tworzyli własne drużyny puchaterów poprzez rekrutowanie lisków z kolejki i rozpatrywanie ich efektów. Każda kolejna dobrana karta będzie wpływała nie tylko na przebieg zabawy, ale również na sposób punktowania na koniec gry. Celem gry jest zdobycie najbardziej opłacalnej kombinacji kart lisków, która przyniesie jak najwięcej punktów na koniec gry. W tym celu gracze będą kolejno rozgrywali swoje tury. W swojej turze gracz: Kupuje kartę lisa z kolejki (koszt każdej karty jest zależny od jej miejsca w szeregu). Rozpatruje zdolność kupionej karty. Kupioną kartę umieszcza odkrytą w swojej drużynie. Przesuwa karty w kolejce w lewą stronę. Dobiera na rękę tyle kart z talii, ile jest pustych miejsc w kolejce (zazwyczaj 1). Uzupełnia kolejkę dowolnymi kartami z ręki. W ten sposób działamy aż do wyczerpania talii. Gracz z największą liczbą punktów wygrywa. W przypadku remisu wygrywa drugi gracz. —description from the publisher
