MelakyeWelcome to *TRAILBLAZERS*, a drafting game where players compete to score the most points by laying down cards to build 3 types of Trails. The game will last 4 Rounds. At the end, you will score all of your completed Trails as well as any Goals you've met.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
MelakyeAt the beginning of each round, you must play one of your Camp Cards. Go ahead and start by selecting your Brown Camp. Then click Continue.2card_site136000
MelakyeEach Round, players are dealt 8 Trails Cards. You must select 2 Trail Cards to play and pass the remaining cards to the next player.1card_trail465ddd93a94c0e00
MelakyeTrails Cards may be rotated in any direction. They must be placed orthogonally adjacent to a Camp or another Trail Card. It is not required that the color of the Trails match adjacent ones. Trail Card may be placed on top to cover another Trail Card (either halfway, or entirely) but may never cover any part of a Camp.2card_trail665ddd93a94c0e00
MelakyeWe want to create Brown Trails so select the 4th & 6th Cards (one at a time) and place them adjacent to your Brown Camp so that their positions match the picture below. [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed845c87c6.57589934.jpg[/img] You can click and drag your player area to move it around if you need to. Click continue when done.3card_goal465ddd93a94c0e00
MelakyeYour first Camp has been placed along with 2 Trail Cards. If you have trouble seeing all of that on your screen, you may need to scroll down a bit. You can use the Zoom button on the top right of your play area or the Bullseye button to center everything.1pan65ddd95548ce100
MelakyeNow that you've passed your 6 remaining Trail Cards to your opponent, you also received the 6 Trail Cards that she didn't pick. I'll just go ahead and pick 2 and place them for you.2card_trail965ddd95548ce100
MelakyeNow you got back 4 Trail Cards that your opponent didn't pick. You will pick 2 again, but instead of passing the last 2 Trail Cards, they get discarded.1card_trail165ddda7be64ff00
MelakyeThat was the end of the first Round. Now is a good time for a *Round Summary.* *1*. The first thing you do is to play one of your Camps (Except the 4th Round since you only have 3 Camp to play.) *2*. You select and play 2 Trail Cards and pass the rest to the next player (Except the last 2 Trail Cards which get discarded.) And that's it. Easy.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment65dddb6c51b0900
MelakyeBefore we proceed, let's go over how you will score points for your Trails. [red]A Trail only gets scored if it is a completed Loop[/red], which means that it must make an *uninterrupted path starting and ending at the matching Camp*. (eg. Brown Trails on Brown Camp) If your Trail does not make a completed Loop by the end, it scores nothing. :( 2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment65dddb6c51b0900
MelakyeAssuming you've made a Completed Loop, you will score 1 Point each time you come across an intersection or make a turn. *To put it another way, each half of the Trail card is worth a Point when your Trail passes through it.*3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment65dddb6c51b0900
MelakyeThe other way to score Points is to meet Goal Cards objectives. 4 Goal Cards are randomly selected at the beginning of the game, 2 of them are *End Game Goals* and the other 2 are *In Game Goals*.4card_goal965dddb6c51b0900
MelakyeEnd game Goal will grant 6 Points to players who meet its requirement the most, 3 Points to the second, and 1 Point to the third. For example, Wildlife Whisperer End Game Goal require the most Trail Cards with animals on them and is not covered by another Trail Card.5card_goal1165dddb6c51b0900
MelakyeIn case of a tie, all players receive the full Points. For example, in a 4 player game, if players' animal count looks like this 10/10/8/5, the top two players with 10 animals will receive 6 Points, the second place with 8 animals will receive 3 Points, and the third place will receive 1 Point.6card_goal1165dddb6c51b0900
MelakyeThe In Game Goal card is a race to see who can meet the requirement first, second, and third - and will receive 6/3/1 Points accordingly. If more than one players meet the objective in the same turn, everyone scores the full Points.7card_goal065dddb6c51b0900
MelakyeNow let's return to the second Round of the game. Your second Camp must be placed orthogonally adjacent to another Camp or Trail Card. And then you will pick 2 more Trail Cards to place. I'll place it for you and let's see what that looks like.8card_site13865dddb6c51b0900
MelakyeYou've now created 2 Completed Loops, a Brown and a Blue. Each one of these will score 2 Points at the end since they consist of 2 turns each. They are highlighted for you when they are completed so they're easier to see. Your score for each color is also indicated at the top left of your player's area.1pan65dddcecec79300
MelakyeLet's move forward and keep building your Trails.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment65dddcecec79300
MelakyeCongratulations! :) You've met the first In Game Goal which is to have 4 Hiking (Brown) Loops. And since you're the first one to achieve it, you get 6 Points. In case you're wondering how your opponent's trails are coming along, you can see their progress by clicking on the name tap at the top of your player area.1card_goal065dddf1050eaa00
MelakyeLet's place your last Camp and put down 2 more Trails cards.2card_site13765dddf1050eaa00
MelakyeYour opponent met the requirement for this In Game Goal card 1 turn after you and so only received 3 Points.1player_goal_gi1_265ddfb7a9abb900
MelakyeAfter receiving Points for In Game Goal Card, even if later on you no longer meet the requirement (eg. by placing another Trail Card to cover the previous one), you do not lose the Points already gained.2card_goal065ddfb7a9abb900
MelakyeDuring this turn, both you and your opponent met the Loop Junkie In Game Goal at the same time so you both score 6 Points.1card_goal465de47b5ef99200
MelakyeThis is the 4th and final Round. Since you have no more Camp to place, you skip that step.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment65de55bd417bf00
MelakyeLet's fast-forward to the end of the game and I'll cover final scoring.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment65de68de265e900
MelakyeIf you look at your Brown Trails, you'll notice that some of them actually crosses the same intersection twice. You score 1 Point each time you cross it.1pan65de76edbf44e00
MelakyeThe top left of your player area also tells you how well you did to meet the End Game Goals. You score 3 Points for having the second most sets as well as 6 Points for having the most animals.2pan65de76edbf44e00
MelakyeIn the event of a tie, the winner is the one who met the most number of Goal Cards.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment65de76edbf44e00
MelakyeNow you know how to play *Trailblazers*. Good luck and happy trails. :$4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment65de76edbf44e00
