Cards

Back to Start Here

Cards give you a lucky push. Some work at once. Others wait until you need them.

Recap: Mia won a duel, and now she owns three tiles.

In short: Walk onto a card tile and pick a card. Keep it, then play it at the start of a later turn.

How it works

1. A card tile is a map tile that gives cards. Walk over it to see face-down cards.
2. Tap one card to take it.
3. Some cards work at once, like coins or stars.
4. Other cards stay with you, like HIGH ROLL.
5. Press Use Card at the start of your turn to play one.
6. LOW ROLL and HIGH ROLL force low or high dice.
7. You pick yourself or an opponent as the target.
8. SHIELD gives you coins when you use it.
9. A Sword card adds power when you attack in a duel.
10. You can only use a sword when you attack.
11. Your hand can hold only three cards.
12. A Comeback Card helps a player who falls far behind.

Example

In round 4, Mia rolls 4 and lands on card tile 13.
Three cards appear face down. Mia taps one: HIGH ROLL (10-12) 3 Turns.
In round 5, she presses Use Card (1) and then Use on Yourself.

She rolls 11 and picks up the gem on the way. She stops on START.
Her salary is 530 coins and 3 stars.
Now she has 2,430 coins and 8 stars.

Leo has not needed a Comeback Card yet.

Tip: Play HIGH ROLL on yourself. Play LOW ROLL on an opponent who is near a good tile.
