Nekonyancer[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed82414069.32518752.jpg[/img] You and your rivals are building hiking, biking, and kayaking trails! [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1player_name_11941354000
NekonyancerEach turn, each player will simultaneously play two cards from their hand into their personal play areas to create *loops -* [blue]continuous trails that begin at a camp of the matching type and then return to the same camp.[/blue] Doing so will earn points and aid in accomplishing goals for even more points. [green]After 4 rounds, whoever has the most points wins![/green]2player_name_11941354000
NekonyancerAt the beginning of each round, each player must play a *camp.* Each player starts with one of each type - hiking, biking, and kayaking. *Click on the brown Hiking camp to play it. Then continue.*3card_site138000
NekonyancerAlright, our Hiking Camp should be on the board now. [blue]Let's improve our perspective of it.[/blue] *First, click on the Zoom Out button two or three times.* [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed82801b75.22104401.jpg[/img]4player_name_11941354000
Nekonyancer*Next, click anywhere near our hiking camp. Drag your mouse until there's some space on each side of the camp.* [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed82c3c3b7.81003167.jpg[/img]5player_name_11941354000
Nekonyancer*Great!* Next, let's take our normal turn, which consists of playing 2 Trail Cards from our starting hand of 8. 7card_trail4000
Nekonyancer[blue]When playing Trail Cards, we must follow these two rules:[/blue] *1.* Cards must be placed orthogonally adjacent to previously placed cards or camps. *2.* Cards may not overlap (cover up) camps. [green]That's it! The trails on the cards don't even have to match up![/green]8player_name_11941354000
Nekonyancer[red]Let's give it a try![/red] *1.* Select the tile on the far left. *2.* Place it so that the bottom part of the tile touches the left side of our hiking camp, like so: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed825ee617.59146474.jpg[/img]10player_name_11941354000
Nekonyancer[red]We're not done yet![/red] *3.* Select the third tile from the left. *4.* Place it below the first tile, like so: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed829deb67.89625284.jpg[/img] *5. [blue]Confirm[/blue]* your action!11player_name_11941354010
Nekonyancer*Excellent!* We created a brown hiking trail that *starts* and *ends* at a hiking camp. This is a *complete loop.* To confirm this, BGA painted a thick light brown line along the loop. [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed82ecefe2.90491215.jpg[/img] If we tried the same thing with a [blue]blue kayaking route[/blue] at this camp, it wouldn't make a loop because the type of route must match the camp!1player_name_1194135465d978c425dde00
NekonyancerAt the end of the game, we will score 1 point for each *1x1 square* that each of our completed loops passes through. [green]Our loop passes through two 1x1 squares, so it's worth 2 points.[/green]2player_name_1194135465d978c425dde00
NekonyancerIf you don't want to count squares, you can instead count *features,* which include benches, rapids, mud, bridges - basically anything that is directly on the loop. Our loop has some [red]*mud*[/red] and some [blue]*rocks.*[/blue] [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed831a6894.03085411.jpg[/img] 2 features = 2 squares = [green]2 points![/green]3player_name_1194135465d978c425dde00
NekonyancerIt is possible to make a trail that loops back and crosses itself. If this happens, one feature will be counted *twice.*4player_name_1194135465d978c425dde00
NekonyancerLet's move onto our next turn. If you examine our hand, you may notice that these are not the same cards we had last turn. That's because at the end of every turn, each player's hand is given to an opponent. [blue]In other words, we now have the cards our opponent was looking at last turn, and vice-versa![/blue]5card_trail1565d978c425dde00
NekonyancerBefore we play our next two cards, let's take a look at the *Goal Cards.* There will always be four laid out in each game. [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed833c9547.49361451.jpg[/img] 6card_goal665d978c425dde00
NekonyancerThe two on the left will always be *End-Game Goals,* granting *6/3/1* points to players who are *1st/2nd/3rd* in a certain condition at the end of the game. For example, the [blue]Forever Float goal[/blue] will grant *6* points to whoever has the longest kayaking loop at the end of the game, and *3* to whoever has the 2nd longest loop.7card_goal765d978c425dde00
NekonyancerThe two on the right will always be *In-Game Goals,* which grant *6/3/1* points to the *1st/2nd/3rd* player to meet a condition during the game. For example, to get *6* points from Hiker's Quartet, we'll need to make 4 hiking loops before anyone else.8card_goal065d978c425dde00
Nekonyancer[red]You know, Hiker's Quartet doesn't look too bad![/red] We already have one hiking loop, and the cards in our hand are perfect for making more!9card_goal065d978c425dde00
Nekonyancer*1.* Take the 2nd tile from the left. Rotate it and position it underneath our Hiking Camp, like so: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed836319d8.61329517.jpg[/img]10player_name_1194135465d978c425dde00
Nekonyancer*2.* Take the 2nd tile from the left (which was the 3rd from the left) and place it to the right of our Hiking Camp, like so: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed838072e2.16901550.jpg[/img] *3. [blue]Confirm[/blue]* your action!11player_name_1194135465d978c425dde10
Nekonyancer[blue]Great job so far![/blue] Just like last turn, the rest of our hand was given to our opponent, and we received the rest of theirs in return.1card_trail765d979096639100
NekonyancerHmm, there aren't any good Hiking cards left in this hand, so let's start working on a long kayaking loop for the Forever Float goal. *1.* Select the second card from the right and place it as shown: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed83aed3f9.56088568.jpg[/img]2player_name_1194135465d979096639100
Nekonyancer*2.* Take the middle of the three remaining cards and place it above the previous card, as shown: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed83d0e997.72073548.jpg[/img] *3. [blue]Confirm[/blue]* your action!3player_name_1194135465d979096639110
NekonyancerAfter our last turn, instead of giving our remaining two cards to our opponent, we simply *discarded* them. [red]That was the end of the first round! To recap, the round involved...[/red] - Placing a camp. - Playing 2 cards and swapping hands (three times) - Discarding the last two cards. Not too complicated, right?1player_name_1194135465d9793c7f50700
NekonyancerNow we'll start the second round, which means each player must place a second camp! *Select the blue Kayaking camp. Then continue.*2card_site13865d9793c7f50700
Nekonyancer*Place the camp as shown here:* [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed83ece019.93876710.jpg[/img] *Then continue.*3player_name_1194135465d9793c7f50700
NekonyancerI think you got the hang of it, but I need to take you through one more turn to show how cards can *overlap.* *1.* Select the fourth tile from the left. Position above the hiking camp, like this: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed841c53d1.99081555.jpg[/img]4player_name_1194135465d9793c7f50700
Nekonyancer*2.* Select the second card from the right. Position it as shown, so that it covers half of the previous card! [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed843600e0.67019716.jpg[/img] *3. [blue]Confirm[/blue]* your action!5player_name_1194135465d9793c7f50710
Nekonyancer*Awesome!* We finished this goal of making 4 hiking loops. We were the first player to do it, so we earned [green]6 points![/green] [blue]We put a special Player Card here to show other players that the 1st place reward has been claimed.[/blue]1player_goal_gi1_165d979bb4f1d400
Nekonyancer[red]Okay, that's everything![/red] The game will continue as you've seen for a total of 4 rounds (12 turns). Since each player only has 3 camps, no one will place a camp at the beginning of the 4th round. At the end, BGA will count up the points. Remember, it's one point per feature/square on each completed loop, plus points from goal cards. [green]Whoever has the most points wins![/green]2player_name_1194135465d979bb4f1d400
Nekonyancer[blue]*Thank you for playing through this tutorial for Trailblazers!*[/blue] If you have any questions or comments about the tutorial, feel free to send *Nekonyancer* a message! A big thank you goes out to *BanBan* for bringing this game to BGA! Have fun! :D3player_name_1194135465d979bb4f1d400
