Rampallians

About the Game

In Rampallians you build a deck of 40 cards from the nearly 400 cards in the game. It is a PvP where you play gatherers to get the resources to play your other cards and build your settlement. The first decision you make each game is your faction:

PICK A FACTION

• The aggressive and fast acting Orcs. These are the simplest faction, they go aggressive early and don't require much set up. The Orcs can call on their comrades the Ogres and Trolls for help, or unleash the evil spirits of Gaelic Folklore. But if you don't manage to rush down your opponent you might be in trouble.

• The versatile and dynamic Humans. Will you train up great Wizards? Or Knights? Archers? Mechanics? The Humans are a slower faction, but their ability to turn their Gatherers into Units, then upgrade those units in different upgrade trees makes them very adaptable. 

• The magical and tenacious Elves. A mid game faction, you can tend to the treefolk, growing them from saplings to great warriors or defenders of the land. Or Perhaps the druids which transform into beasts are more your style? 

• Or the slow but stout Dwarves. Possibly the most comlex of the factions. There miners gain experience at mining or in combat to become more effective in their chosen field. Will you harness the skill of the Smiths? Or the wisdom of the Longbeards? Or maybe the great crafters who can construct workshops to build Automatons and Runes?

• Plus Dragon cards, which grow from babies into their adult form, each with unique effects from disrupting battle orders to devouring the opponents gatherers. These cards can be included in any deck. 

SELECT YOUR BOARD

You then need to decide which resources to fill the 6 slots of your board, between Gold, Ore, Food, and Wood. Prioritising based on the cards in your deck. 

BUILD YOUR SETTLEMENT

Play Gatherers to gather resources, Units to bolster your defences and attack your opponent, Support cards to give powerful long term effects, and Special cards for one off abilities. Build a deck of 40 cards from these main Card Types to build your Settlement. 

DEFEND YOUR PEOPLE

Choose the order of your Units and Gatherers as well as Attackers and Defenders. Then let the battle commence, as effects and attacks are resolved automatically, but there can be only one Victor!

DESTROY THEIR KEEP

After winning battles you can attack their settlement, choosing between attacking their Gatherers, Supports, or their Keep. When a player's Keep reaches zero health they lose and their opponent is victorious!
