Fantastické stezky - CZ/EN

Product detailed description

Fantastic Trails challenges you to help ants traverse the forest and create valuable trails that cover as much territory as possible, ideally collecting as much honeydew from aphids along the way.

How to play

• Setup: At the beginning, each player chooses two of four random forest floor cards.

The number and pattern (shape) decks are shuffled separately.

Turn: Each turn, you reveal the top card of the number and pattern decks. All players then write the number in the boxes that correspond to the revealed pattern.

Jokers, aphids, and wasps:

• Joker: Allows you to write down any number (1–7) or use any pattern.
• Aphid: If revealed, no one writes anything down. Instead, each player circles one free drop of honeydew on their card.
• Wasp: If a wasp appears, no numbers are written down either. Instead, the opponent to your right "places" the wasp on one free pattern (the wasp then blocks the honeydew until you chase it away by writing down a number).

Workers: You start with four workers. By crossing them out, you can adjust the value of the number by +/- 1 (for 1 worker) or write the number in any pattern (for 2 workers).

Tasks: By completing a task on a card (e.g., surrounding a field, filling a section), you earn bonuses – additional workers, honeydew, or bonus numbers.

Scoring

• Rounds: After the decks are exhausted (end of rounds 1 and 2), you receive points for the honeydew you have collected and draw one new forest land card.
Ant Trail: After the third round, you score honeydew for the last time and then evaluate the trails. You create a trail by connecting adjacent fields on each card with a line. The numbers in a row must be the same or one higher than the previous one.
• Victory: You get 1 point for each tile of the longest trail on each card. The player with the highest total score wins.

Who will rule the forest undergrowth?

Fantastic trails are not just about random numbers, but about the ability to see a path where others see only chaos of colors. Will you manage to build the longest ant highway in the forest, or will an annoying wasp thwart your plans? Every decision can determine whether you become a legendary ant architect or remain just a forgotten "greenhorn in the forest."

The whole adventure takes place on washable forest soil cards, on which you draw your paths and numbers using the included erasable markers. This allows you to simply "erase" the forest after each game and start building from scratch.

So hop into the anthill, the journey is the destination!
