Encantados (second/third Edition)

Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Encantados is a filler where players assumes the role of a gardener in need to populate his garden with magical creatures. Fairies, leprechauns, gnomes, goblins and Kobolds! Every race has a special ability to help you (or disturb your friend/opposing team). Encantados knows how to balance simplicity with an awesome replay and a lot of fun. Wonderful in every way , whether in its simple mechanics, either in its neat art! Encantados is played in a series of rounds. Every round, in alternate turns, players buy a new card and have the chance to play one Song and one Set of cards of the same Magical Creature. You can only play creatures if you have three of a kind in your hand. After you play them, they start giving you passive bonus. If one or more players empty their hand the round is over and points are counted. If, by the end of a round, a player score is 100 or higher he is the winner! —description from the publisher What changes: > The 2nd edition is leaner, with blister box instead of the box with a lid, and only cards as components. > The game comes with only one deck (2 to 4 players), instead of two decks (2 to 6 players). It will still be possible to play up to 6 with two copies of the game - the rules for this variant are in the rules book. > A new character comes in (the Troll) and an old one comes out (Mandragora, who misses but is remembered fondly in all the cards in the game. > Powers of the races revised with the aim of making the game more friendly to non-gamers and rebalanced card scores. > New graphic design and revised manual with minor changes.
