How to Play Oltréé: Undead & Alive

Objective of the Game

In Oltréé: Undead & Alive, players are Rangers in a world where death is not always final. Strange creatures like ghouls, necrophages, and vampires haunt ghastly places, feeding on carrion and live prey, and reproducing by infecting living creatures. Necromancers and monsters revive rotting corpses and ancient skeletons, creating dumb undead beasts. Madmen use arcane rituals to become liches and mummies, trading reason for eternal unlife. Finally, wraiths and ghosts are trapped by powerful emotions and memories. The game's theme revolves around these various forms of undead and the supernatural evil known as Languor that can afflict Rangers.

Preparation (Setup)

Languor Cards

When playing with the Undead & Alive expansion pack, place the Languor cards in a stack, face down, near the main board.

Equipment

The expansion includes:

• 3 new Chronicles (36 cards in total): Starved (Short), With a Wave of the Hand (Long), Old Bones (Long).
• Languor cards.
• "Death on the Prowl" Incident cards (3 short, 3 long).
• 6 new Assignment cards (3 short, 3 long).

Fluxo do Jogo

Languor Cards

During new Chronicles and Incidents, Rangers may fall prey to Languor, a type of supernatural evil. A Ranger who is stricken with Languor must draw the top card in the Languor card pile. The Ranger takes note of the card’s effects and places it, face up, next to their Ranger card. The effect described on the card is applied as long as the Ranger is in possession of this card.

Accumulating Languor

Each Ranger may only have one Languor card. If a Ranger must draw a Languor card when they already have one, the previous card is discarded and replaced by the new one. The Ranger then loses 1 Vitae.

Adversity Marker Movement

• The Adversity marker cannot skip the Chronicle space if a die roll indicates it should. It must stop there.
• The Adversity marker cannot stay on the Chronicle space 2 turns in a row. If the marker is already on the Chronicle space and a die roll indicates it should move, the marker must move forward one space.

Ações e Como Jogar

Dispelling Languor

The action Healing in the Community in Region 6 allows you to get rid of a Languor card in addition to regaining all your Vitae. Some cards also allow you to get rid of a Languor card, which will be specified on the card itself.

Treasure

Treasure is a special resource. This resource is not a "wild card" and cannot be used in the place of other resources. Treasure can be exchanged by Calling on a Community in Region 1.
