The game of Nile trade and corruption!
Sobek is an ancient Egyptian god with the head of Nile crocodile.
This is a fast-paced trading card game for two to four people, making money by visiting the market, buying and selling items. but if you're not careful, you might not get a popular item without receiving a point of corruption.
If there are too many points of corruption. your economic empire will collapse!
The design is Bruno Catala, a French genius who has worked on popular games such as 「 MOW 」, 「 Cyclades 」 and 「 Mr. Jacques 」. It's a simple but profound game.
■ Simple Rules ■
The 『 Sobek 』, which is named after the ancient Egyptian god, is a game in which, in order to advance each round piece every round, if there is a product card you want, you get it with an unnecessary deduction product card in the middle and collect it for each type.
Collect three or more product cards of the same type, put them out and score, and advance your score frame by that amount and aim for 100 points.
There are 6 types of product cards, each with a score scale of 0 to 3. If you collect three or more copies of the same type, the number of copies multiplied by the number of magnification marks will be the score, so I want to collect them efficiently.
Every round, this commodity card is arranged at random in front of the scene.
One by one, take the card from the front.
If there is a card you want in the back, you have to save the cards in the middle as 「 Corruption 」 and store them in the deduction card storage.
I want three or more cards of the same kind, and if possible, I want a card with high magnification, so let's get a point deduction for a card that is far away.
Continue like this, and when you have more than 3 cards of the same kind, you bring the set in your hand to score.
Among the cards lined up on the field are the 「 Card, which has a strong effect, such as the 」 「, which reduces the deduction, and the 」, which can be taken without corruption. These cards are placed on the other side, so it is difficult to decide whether to take the Character Card far away by taking the deduction. Character
Also, let's make use of the effect of the tiles that you can get if you present a set of 3 or more of the same kind at an early timing.
Settles each time the round ends. The person who reaches the mass of 100 points while advancing or returning the score frame wins.
