Nekonyancer[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ecf888aef3.08919498.jpg[/img] Once an age, a mythic wind lifts the veil between the spirit world and ours. Whimsical seraphs, drawn to the vigor of an ancient forest, descend through clouds to, once again, take up their centennial game... [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerYou are a *seraph* - a being of great power and curiosity. Each turn, you will sample the life of the forest (take tiles from the table). Other seraphs are doing the same thing! You'll also use *gemstones* to reserve certain tiles.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerEach tile has up to two symbols on it. These symbols are of two different kinds: *Spirits* and *Power Sources.* [blue]There are 9 different kinds of Spirits:[/blue] [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ecf8af3955.97477425.jpg[/img] [red]And 3 different power sources: Fire, Sun, and Moon.[/red]3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerEach tile also has a number that shows how many Spirit symbols of that type exist in the game. For example... [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ecf8d2b100.27402963.jpg[/img] [green]This tile provides 1 Web Spider spirit. There are ten web spider spirit symbols in the game.[/green]4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerWhen all the tiles have been taken, the game will end, and players will score points depending on how many of each symbol they have! [green]Whoever has the most points wins![/green]5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerWe can usually take 2 tiles per turn, but we're the first player. The first player can only take 1 tile on their first turn. Whenever we take tiles, they must be on the *left* or *right* side of a particular row. That means only [blue]*these tiles*[/blue] can be claimed right now!6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000spirit_tile_6 2 spirit_tile_21 2 spirit_tile_23 2 spirit_tile_24 2 spirit_tile_27 2 spirit_tile_32 2 spirit_tile_43 2 spirit_tile_45 2
Nekonyancer*Click on this tile to take it!*7spirit_tile_27010spirit_tile_27 16
Nekonyancer*Good!* The tile went into our inventory. After taking tiles, you have the option of placing a [blue]*gemstone.*[/blue] Each player starts with *3* in their inventory. (Only 2 in a 3/4 player game.)1playerarea_gemstones_1194135463e2fce21eab600playerarea_gemstones_11941354 7
NekonyancerPlacing gemstones is a way of *reserving* tiles for your own use. They can be placed on any tile on the table, not just the ones on the edges. *Click here to place a gemstone!*2spirit_tile_3063e2fce21eab610spirit_tile_30 16
Nekonyancer*Good!* If we take this tile, the gemstone will return to our inventory. If [red]an opponent[/red] takes it, the gemstone will still return, but our opponent will have to [red]permanently sacrifice[/red] one of their own gemstones! Now it's our opponent's turn...1spirit_tile_3063e2fce79ceaf00
NekonyancerOkay, time for our second turn! As I said earlier, we can take *2* tiles per turn from now on, but only if both tiles have only *one* spirit symbol, and both cards are the *same color.*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63e2fcf9953e000
NekonyancerThis tile is particularly good to take because it has a favor token on it. That's what those gray circles represent! *Take this tile!*2spirit_tile_3063e2fcf9953e010spirit_tile_30 16
Nekonyancer[green]Good, we took the favor token along with the tile![/green] Favor tokens usually grant additional spirit symbols or power sources - [blue]*this one grants a web spider spirit*[/blue] - but they cannot be seen by our opponents! Also, some favor tokens let you reclaim gemstones that were previously sacrificed.1favor_token_163e2fd06d096100favor_token_1 2
Nekonyancer[red]*The first tile*[/red] we took this turn had *1 web spider spirit* on it. If we want to take a second tile, it must *also* have 1 web spider spirit. And, as always, only tiles on the edges of each row can be taken. Do you see a tile we can take?2spirit_tile_3063e2fd06d096100spirit_tile_30 1
NekonyancerYep, it's this one! Unfortunately, our opponent has a gemstone on it, so we'll have to sacrifice one of our own to take it! Ehh... *go ahead and do it.*3spirit_tile_3263e2fd06d096110spirit_tile_32 16
NekonyancerNow that we've taken tiles, we can place a gemstone. *Place one here!*1spirit_tile_2463e2fd305a2f010spirit_tile_24 16
Nekonyancer*Good!* By the way, if you run out of gemstones in your inventory, you'll be able to move a previously placed stone instead of placing a new one. In some cases, you may find yourself unable to claim a tile because your opponents' gemstones are on all the available ones, and you have no gemstones left to displace them. If this happens to you, [red]you must pass your turn.[/red]1playerarea_gemstones_1194135463e2fd418a6e400
NekonyancerOkay, you've seen everything! The game will continue as you've seen until [red]all the tiles have been taken.[/red] Then we go to scoring!2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63e2fd418a6e400
Nekonyancer*SCORING*---[blue]For each spirit symbol or power source, each player gains:[/blue] [green]- 1 point per symbol[/green] *if* they have the most of that type. [red]- Minus 3 points[/red] *if* they have no symbols of that type. Players who are tied for the most spirits all score points as if they had the most.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63e2fd418a6e400
NekonyancerFor example, we currently have the most [blue]*web spider spirits*[/blue] (3, including the favor token), so we'll gain 3 points at the end of the game. [red]Our opponent has no web spirits, so he'll lose 3 points at the end of the game![/red]4favor_token_163e2fd418a6e400favor_token_1 2 spirit_tile_30 2 spirit_tile_32 2
NekonyancerHere's another example. [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ecf8f01f85.82423347.jpg[/img] The *2nd* player has the most leaf spirit symbols (5), so they score *5 points.* The *1st* player does not have the most, so they score *0 points.* The *3rd* player does not even have one, so they get *-3 points.*5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63e2fd418a6e400

A big thank you goes out to *XiaoYi* for bringing this game to BGA! Have fun! :D6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63e2fd418a6e400
