About the game
Designed for 2 - 5 players, Llamasters is premium entertainment created for card game revelers looking to nurture their relationships with one another. There is more than one game mode to choose from, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a teenager, an old age pensioner, or anything in between: just about anyone can play and be transported to a wacky world of llamas. The game is set in a savage Llama Kingdom, containing a plethora of comical llama characters - from royalty to thieves, and oracle readers to singers. There are also a bunch of other whimsical figures, such as killer sloths and armadillo guardians, that come with their own perks. The aim of the game is to ultimately protect your kingdom, by ensuring your Llama King or Queen remains standing, which you can do by keeping their cards in your possession until the very end. You can also win by collecting 3 Buddha Llamas, but this can be reduced to 2 with the right combination of cards. Gameplay involves tactical scheming through the use of various card types: Action, Magic, and Collectibles, and drawing a card from the deck ends your go. It’s essentially the luck of the draw, but you must devise strategies, use your wit, and play combinations of cards to battle against other players, in an attempt to force them to remove their valuable cards and lose the round. There are other dangers lurking within the deck too, as drawing certain cards can mean instant death. However, there are ways to deflect this and Llamasters offers its players several routes back towards victory even when you’re on the brink of giving up. One of the unique points of the game is the use of augmented reality, which if used, can allow players to re-enter a round they have already been knocked out of. The augmented reality app also includes enchanting animations to complement the gameplay. —description from the publisher
