Embark on a journey through a fairytale land as a wanderer seeking new experiences. A competitive family game where players collect useful items, meet unusual friends, and experience numerous adventures. Become the most seasoned wanderer with sleeves full of the best stories - the star of every campfire gathering! Based on the video game of the same name by Amanita Design, Pilgrims will speak to all its fans!
The game is played over 4 rounds and it is built around a movement-puzzle mechanic, where each turn presents a small riddle: how to best combine your party's movement abilities to navigate the map and collect the right cards. The players try to complete as many adventure cards as possible and gain victory points. These points symbolize the fame and wealth, both material and spiritual, that their group has acquired.
Each player will move their piece across the map to collect items and gain new companions for their group. By successfully combining their character and item cards, they can trigger additional actions. The collected items and companions will then be used to complete adventure cards. Each completed adventure rewards the player with victory points and a permanent upgrade that will help them throughout the game. The player with the most victory points at the end of the 4th round wins.
The game is being developed in cooperation between Pink Troubadour and Amanita Design.
The mighty castles and sprawling cities of Rokugan are merely tiny islands of civilization in the vast wilderness that surrounds and envelops the Emerald Empire. From the dark and haunted depths of the Shinomen Mori forest to the sharp and icy peaks of the Great Wall of the North mountains, these ancient and wild lands hold countless dangers for the unwary. Only the wise samurai of the Dragon Clan embrace their writ to live in the wilds, and create the bridge between this world and civilization.
