HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
In 'Friday', you step into the shoes of the loyal Friday, and your peaceful island life is turned upside down when Robinson Crusoe shipwrecks there. Your mission? To help the castaway survive the island's dangers and prepare him to face the pirates who are on their way. This is a solo deck-building game where your goal is to optimize your combat cards to overcome the challenges the island presents. Each round, you attempt to defeat hazard cards using the fight cards from your deck. If successful, the defeated hazard card transforms into a new fight card, strengthening your deck. But if you fail, you lose life points, although you get the chance to remove some unwanted cards from your fight deck, which is a great way to refine your strategy. The journey is divided into phases, each increasing the difficulty of the hazards and testing your ability to adapt. In the end, with your deck sharp and ready for battle, you will face the two pirate ships approaching the island. By defeating them, you ensure Robinson Crusoe's escape and can finally enjoy the peace you so desire. It's a race against time and luck, where every decision in building your deck counts for the success of the mission.
