## How to Play
Objetivo do Jogo  
O objetivo de The South Tigris Moonsaga é coletar o maior número possível de Goal Cards ao longo de três jogos sequenciais: Wayfarers, Scholars e Inventors. Cada Goal Card representa um objetivo específico que, quando alcançado, concede recompensas e pontos. O jogador com mais Goal Cards no final da campanha é o vencedor. Em caso de empate, priorizam-se as Goal Cards faceup, seguidas pelo maior score em Inventors.  

Preparação (Setup)  
  
  Coloque o Campaign Board ao lado da área de jogo.  
  Coloque as 3 Bonus Cards e os Trinket Tokens próximos ao Campaign Board.  
  Embaralhe as 6 Goal Cards para o jogo atual (Wayfarers primeiro, depois Scholars e Inventors). Coloque 3 faceup no Campaign Board e 3 facedown perto dele.  
  Monte o jogo atual conforme as regras de seu respectivo manual (Wayfarers, Scholars ou Inventors).  
  Distribua recompensas em Silver com base no número de Goal Cards que cada jogador tem (consulte o Campaign Board para valores).  
  Determine o jogador inicial: para Wayfarers, é aleatório; para Scholars e Inventors, o vencedor do jogo anterior começa.  
  

Fluxo do Jogo  
O jogo é dividido em três fases sequenciais: Wayfarers, Scholars e Inventors. Cada jogo é jogado independentemente, mas as Goal Cards e Trinket Tokens coletadas em um jogo afetam os próximos. Após cada jogo, distribuem-se novas Goal Cards e Trinket Tokens com base nos resultados (vitórias maiores ou menores). No final da campanha (após Inventors), o jogador com mais Goal Cards vence.  

Ações e Como Jogar  
  
  Coleta de Goal Cards por Objetivos: Durante o jogo, 3 Goal Cards faceup no Campaign Board podem ser coletadas ao cumprir seus objetivos. Exemplo: um Goal Card de Wayfarers exige 2 conjuntos completos de Primary Tags.  
  Coleta por Vitórias: No final de cada jogo, os jogadores podem ganhar Goal Cards facedown ou Trinket Tokens com base no tipo de vitória (maior ou menor).  
  Trinket Tokens: São usados para coletar Bonus Goal Cards (que exigem 3 Trinkets específicos).  
  Gerenciamento de Estado: As Goal Cards devem permanecer faceup ou facedown conforme coletadas, exceto em vitórias maiores em Wayfarers ou Scholars, onde podem ser viradas faceup.  
  

Fim de Jogo e Pontuação  
O jogo termina após os três jogos (Wayfarers, Scholars, Inventors) serem concluídos. Os jogadores contam todas as Goal Cards coletadas (faceup e facedown). O vencedor é o jogador com mais Goal Cards. Em empates:  
  
  Prioriza-se o jogador com mais Goal Cards faceup.  
  Se ainda empatado, o jogador com o maior score em Inventors vence.  
  
Após Inventors, devolva as Goal Cards faceup ao Campaign Board e verifique o vencedor final.  

Dicas para Vencer  
  
  Priorize Trinkets: Colete Trinkets para trocar por Bonus Goal Cards, que não concedem habilidades, mas aumentam pontos.  
  Aim for Maior Vitórias: Em Wayfarers e Scholars, uma maior vitória (15VP ou mais que o segundo lugar) permite ganhar mais Goal Cards faceup.  
  Gerencie o Estado das Goal Cards: Mantenha-as faceup para aproveitar habilidades em jogos subsequentes, mas evite virá-las faceup precocemente se não forem necessárias.  
  

Consulte o manual para detalhes sobre mecânicas específicas de cada jogo (Wayfarers, Scholars, Inventors).
