Culdcept
Culdcept is a hybrid board/card game where the objective is to generate the
most mana before making it back to the castle.
Each player starts out with a deck of 50 cards. Card types range from monster
cards (e.g. Skeleton), which are used to accumulate territory on the board to
increase your mana; Equipment (e.g. Chain Mail), which will boost your
monsters’ abilities when they battle; and Magic (e.g. Holy Word 0), which can
be used to help you or hinder the other players on the board. When a player
lands on another player’s monster, he/she can challenge it to a battle in an
attempt to take over the territory. If the attacker wins, he/she gets the
space on the board and additional mana.
There are more than sixteen different game boards, each with different rules
and layouts (such as the maximum number on dice rolls, the elements on the
board, etc.)
