Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
Protect your clan
Each player is a clan leader with four cards face down in front of them: their villagers. At the start, you can only peek at two of these cards: from there, the challenge of memory, bluffing, and intuition begins to defend your clan from monsters.
The goal is freedom
The winner is the one who manages to free their clan from the monsters, accumulating the fewest points. When you feel you have the safest and lightest clan, you can declare "Saorsa" (Gaelic for "freedom") to end the round.
The game turn
Each turn you can draw from the discard pile and exchange the card with a villager of your clan, or draw from the face-down deck and decide whether to play it on the open field by activating its special action, or replace it with one of your cards.
Memory and twists
The heart of the game is remembering which cards are in the opposing clans. If you recognize a discarded card, you can immediately play it back into the pile, thus reducing the size of your clan. Witches, priests, and missionaries bring unique abilities and can turn the game around at just the right moment.
- Who leads the clan to glory
Each round awards a victory token to the clan leader with the fewest points. The game ends when a player earns four tokens: only then will their clan be remembered as the one who won the battle against the Loch Lomond monsters.
