## Description

_Akiko’s Trivocum_ is a trading card game and based on the _H ohlenwelt_
novels by Harald Evers. The basic concept: The goal is simply to hit the
opponent once – one hit is enough because everyone has just one life point. Of
course this sounds easier than it is: at first the player has to build a magic
spell using six cards of his deck. Basically a spell consists of three
components: the foundation which decides the magic type, boosts with artifacts
and creatures and an Aurikel card to trigger it. Then the player has to pass a
handicap with a dice throw and he defeats his opponent – if his protection
doesn’t cancel it out. It is also possible to invoke a helper creature, then
the opponent has to defeat it first.

There are overall 195 cards and a deck consists of 46, 60 or 72 cards. The
game features three playing modes: random fights, duel (fighting many
opponents until the whole world map is conquered) and adventure. In the latter
one is based on the first few chapters of volume 1 ( _Die Bruderschaft von
Yoor_ ). As Leandra the player uncovers a conspiracy. Of course there are a
lot of card fights but the rest of the mode is played like classical Choose-
your-own-adventure books: The player gets to read a text passage and has
multiple choices on what to do next. The same goes for the numerous
conversations.
