Listen, listen, beggars and rich, cowards and brave! You are all invited to Castle de Combo! Show who among you are the rulers! May the best one win!
«Castle de Combo» — is an engaging tabletop game that will immerse you in the atmosphere of a medieval kingdom. You will need to build your own kingdom by placing 9 unique characters on a 3x3 sized board.
All characters in the game are divided into two areas: the castle and the village — village dwellers are usually cheaper (or even free), but to settle inhabitants of the castle in your kingdom, you will have to spend more. Each character has special effects that can be very useful during the game. But in addition to that, each of your subjects will bring you victory points at the end of the game according to the conditions on their card, so it's important to choose a strategy and stick to it, if you want to win.

How to play?
Players take turns clockwise, starting with the first player, until each has made 9 moves.
On their turn, a player performs 4 actions in order.
1. Spend a key (optional action). A player can spend 1 key to move the herald token to another area or refresh the cards in the area where the herald is located.
2. Buy a card (mandatory action). The player chooses one of the open cards in the area where the herald is and pays its cost, considering all possible discounts, and then places this card in their kingdom, following the placement rules.
3. Apply effect (mandatory action). The player applies the effect of the purchased card according to its conditions, if there are any.
4. Move the herald. If the purchased card by the player features the herald, they move the herald figure, and then reveal a new card to replace the one they bought.
Then the turn passes to the next player.
The game ends when all players have placed 9 cards in their kingdoms. Players count their earned points, writing them down in a notebook. The player who has scored the most victory points becomes the winner.
