Duels and bounty

Back to Start Here

A duel decides who keeps a tile. Elements and luck both matter. Friends who watch can join in.

Recap: Mia landed on Leo's tile. She must pay rent or fight.

In short: Pick an element that beats your opponent's. Then spin the wheel and hope for a high number.

How it works

1. On an opponent's tile, press Give Up or Fight. The player who lands is the attacker. The tile's owner is the defender.
2. Give Up pays the normal rent.
3. Fight starts a duel for the tile.
4. Each player taps an element, then taps again to lock it. You may pick any element, even if it is not your role.
5. The winning match-up earns the Element Bonus.
6. Each player spins a wheel to get a number.
7. Your score is your wheel number plus any bonus.
8. The defender also adds the tile's HP.
9. The higher score wins.
10. A winning attacker takes the tile and pays no rent.
11. A losing attacker pays extra rent.
12. A tie ends with a coin flip.
13. A bounty names an element. The first duel winner with it gets 1 star.
14. In a Guess Duel, a player outside the duel guesses the winner.

Example

In round 3, Mia rolls 2 and lands on tile 9. It is Leo's tile.
She presses Fight. Mia picks FIRE. Leo picks WIND.
FIRE beats WIND, so Mia gets the Element Bonus.

Mia's wheel shows 7. Leo's wheel shows 4.
Mia scores 7 plus 3, which is 10.
Leo scores 4 plus the tile's HP of 3, which is 7.

Mia wins tile 9 and pays no rent.
Since round 2, a BOUNTY! banner has named FIRE.
Mia wins with FIRE, so she gains 1 star. She has 5 stars.

Only two players are here, so nobody can guess.
If their friend Ava joined, she could guess the winner.
