About the game

Adventure, magic and betrayal... Embark on the epic mission to collect the precious Tartapies in this strategy and adventure challenge. Use your cunning, unique abilities, and powerful items to outmaneuver your opponents. When the deck runs out... Will you be the hero with the most Tartapies? Good luck adventurer! The objective of the game is to collect as many Tartapies until the deck runs out. Each player chooses a character (adventurer) with their own skills and strategy. Also, randomly take a potion and a super item. These 3 cards will be your initial game engine. The game is divided into turns, each player starts their turn by drawing a card from the deck. Then you can perform a series of actions in the order you want without repeating. Hoard: Play a Tartapie from your hand. Equip: Play an attack, defense or relic item. Play your skills (Talent and Mastery). Play your super item. Play a Faction. Many of these actions are played as a "reaction" to what another player plays, so it will be possible for you to perform actions outside of your turn, all in order to ruin the game of other players. The game ends when you can no longer draw any cards at the beginning of the turn. If at that moment you are the one who manages to collect (or not lose) the most Tartapies, you will be the winner. —description from the designer Aventura, magia y traición... Embárcate en la misión épica de recolectar los preciosos Tartapies en este desafío de estrategia y aventuras. Usa tu astucia, tus habilidades únicas y tus poderosos elementos para superar a tus oponentes. Cuando se acabe la baraja... ¿Serás el héroe con más Tartapies? ¡Buena suerte aventurero! ​ El objetivo del juego es reunir la mayor cantidad de Tartapies hasta que se acabe el mazo. Cada jugador elige un personaje (aventurero) con sus propias habilidades y estrategia. Además, toma al azar toma una poción y un súper ítem. Estas 3 cartas serán su motor de juego inicial. El juego se divide en turnos, cada jugador inicia su turno robando una carta del mazo. Luego podrá realizar una serie de acciones en el orden que quieran sin repetir. Acaparar: Jugar un Tartapie de su mano. Equipar: Jugar un ítem ya sea de ataque, defensa o reliquia. Jugar sus habilidades (Talento y Maestría). Jugar su súper ítem. Jugar una Facción. Muchas de estas acciones se juegan a modo de "reacción" a lo que juegue otro jugador, por lo que te será posible realizar acciones fuera de tu turno, todo esto con el fin de arruinar el juego de otros jugadores. El juego termina cuando ya no se puede robar carta alguna al inicio del turno, si en ese momento eres quien logro reunir (o no perder) más Tartapies, serás el ganador. —description from the designer (Spanish)
