PillarAngel[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed7a0d7ee9.54855823.jpg[/img] For more than a century, there were [blue]two[/blue] [green]families[/green] whose [red]*hatred*[/red] for each other was like none other. This deep loathing was such that it endured even after their *death*! Ready to do anything in order to claim the *greatest Mansions of the land* for their own lineage, these *[blue]g[/blue][green]h[/green][blue]o[/blue][green]s[/green][blue]t[/blue][green]s[/green]* have since been haunting *Manors* and *Castles* to scare away the poor souls that dared to come close! [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer.[/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

PillarAngelYou play as a *family of ghosts* trying to *control* the most *Manors(yellow)* and *Castles(red)*, both of which are collectively referred to as *Mansions*! [green]You instantly win the game as soon as you control *4 Manors* or *3 Castles*![/green] [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed7a2dd4b3.93741581.jpg[/img]2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

PillarAngel[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed7a55f244.18932948.jpg[/img] Each *round*, players play cards on their side to control the *Castle* or *Manor* in the line of 10 between both players. The locations are fought for *one at a time* from *left to right*. In this game, the first location we're fighting for is for a "*Manor*"!3psychic-slot-4

PillarAngelEach player starts the game with a hand of *5* cards from a personal *21 card deck* consisting of: [blue]6[/blue] value [green]1[/green] cards [blue]5[/blue] value [green]2[/green] cards [blue]4[/blue] value [green]3[/green] cards [blue]3[/blue] value [green]4[/green] cards [blue]2[/blue] value [green]5[/green] cards [blue]1[/blue] value [green]6[/green] card *A random player* is selected to be the first player, looks like that honor goes to our [blue]*opponent*[/blue]!4card-12

PillarAngelOn a player's turn, they can play *as many cards as they want* from their hand. Playing *zero cards* is also an option! Our [blue]opponent[/blue] has just played *2* value *1* cards, for a total value of *2*. When it comes to your turn, you can either play cards to try to beat your opponent by at least *1* or *withdraw*, which will cause your opponent to gain control of that location!1card-20

PillarAngelWe have quite a few options to beat a value of *2*, but since we're ghosts, let's see if we can scare them off by playing something high, but not too high so we don't *waste* our cards too early! *Click on [green]this value 2 card[/green], then click "Play Card" at the top!*2card-10

PillarAngelGreat! Now the *2* alone *wont work* cause we must beat our opponent's current value by *at least 1* or we'll be forced to withdraw! Since we already played a card, we don't want it to go to waste, so let's play another card! *Play the [green]value 3 card[/green]!*1card-13

PillarAngelAwesome scaring! We currently now have a total value of *5*! Our opponent will have to play additional cards totalling to at least *4* in order to beat us! That should give us a good chance of them backing off! 1psychic-slot-2

PillarAngelWhen you are currently *winning* a location, our withdraw action turns into a *pass* action. So now we can either choose to play more cards, or pass the turn to our opponent, giving them the chance to either play more cards, or withdraw, allowing us to win the location! I think we got a pretty good lead, so let's *pass* for now and see what our opponent does!2button_1_id

PillarAngelWell then... Looks like they reeeeeally want that Manor! Can't blame them, its got a really good view!1card-24

PillarAngelWe fought a pretty good ghostly fight, but played cards *stay on the table*, meaning that once those cards are played *they are gone for good!* So since we want to save our cards for future rounds, I think we should *withdraw*! 2button_1_id

PillarAngelIt sucks to lose the location, but we gained something just as good, if not better! The loser of that location gets the *[green]psychic ability card[/green]* that the Manor was on top of. They can be played just like any other cards, but with cool effects! Sometimes its best to *lose the location on purpose* so you can claim the card if you think it'll be *really useful later*! Since this game has *alooooooot* of these cards, we're not gonna go over all of them, but you can hover over any one of them to check what that card does!1card-29

PillarAngelThe loser also gets the option to place cards *face down* on the *10th location*. If no one has won the game before the 10th round, all cards on that location are flipped, and whoever has the higher value on this location, gets the location on that card! Psychic ability cards can also be played at the 10th location! Speaking of which, the psychic ability card we gained from withdrawing allows us to treat it as a *value 3* ghost card, but can *only* be played at the 10th location. Well, since we can't play it anywhere else, might as well *play [green]it[/green] now!* *Play the [green]psychic ability card[/green]!*2psychic-slot-10

PillarAngelPsychic ability cards are played *face up* on the 10th location, so our opponent knows that we are currently winning it by *3*!1psychic-slot-6

PillarAngelAt the end of the round, each player draws *2 cards* from their personal deck. If your deck is empty, *you don't draw anything!* The player who *won the location* takes the *first turn* on the next one, so our *opponent* will be playing cards first again!2psychic-slot-5

PillarAngel[green]The game ends instantly when a player controls either *4 Manors or 3 Castles*, in which case, they win the game![/green] If neither of these conditions are met, then the player who gained control of the *10th location* wins! if there is still a tie, then the player player who won the most *Mansions* wins! If there is *STILL* a tie, then the endless family feud continues!3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment
