About the game
What you do in a play session
In TREOS, the realm is abuzz with a tempting rumor: a luck potion, available on the black market for 20 gold coins. The catch? The realm is vast, its forests are dark, and the roads are dangerous. But the rewards for brave couriers are high, and the chance of fortune is an irresistible call to venture beyond the protective walls of one's hometown. Each player takes on the role of one of four asymmetrical characters, each with their own quirks and challenges. The journey won't be easy, with highwaymen and other obstacles lurking. The secret to success? Outmaneuvering the competition and being the first to accumulate the necessary fortune.
The game unfolds over several 'days,' each divided into five distinct phases. The movement mechanic is crucial and strategic: movement cards are drawn, and choosing them wisely is vital, as the numbers on them will determine turn order. Each round, you'll need to plan three turns in advance, executing them one by one, in a tactical dance of anticipation and reaction. This cycle repeats until a player manages to accumulate 20 gold coins or more, securing an immediate victory. And if the adventure itself wasn't enough, the TREOS map offers impressive replayability, with the game board able to be arranged in over 1,500 different variations, ensuring that each game is a unique and challenging experience. Get ready for the race for luck!
