Fair. We've been meaning to do a instructional video since we launched, but our day jobs have got in the way. I'm going to start making it on monday, so expect it soon.
Can multiple players attack at the same time? Or is the first player to attack the attacker and the rest can only defend?
A player can only initiate an attack on their turn as one of their three orders. Once that player has launched an attack, then the following players then decide wheter they want any or all of their riders to join the attack (to add to the gap total), or defend (and decrease from the gap total). When it's been calucated, that's then end of that one order. If the player has any orders left, then can play them still, as each player has up to three orders per turn.
So basically the attack/creating or joining the break mechanism, although invoves all players, is still one order on one players turn.
it looks like all defending players have to be tapped individually - does each tap constitute an order or is the defence the whole order?
Any rider that attacks or defends has to be tapped (turned 90º). Except The player that initiates the attack on their turn only has to tap one rider, and the rest of their team joining in that attack stay untapped.
We're going to persevere and watch the video but the instruction leaflet should probably be re-written at some point, for idiots like me.
The main feedback has been the rules. We've had a fair few questions, and it's mainly about the whole attack/defence mechanism. We're planning our next print run, and will have hopefully a clearer explanation, but also a link straight to the video, which should explain things.
I sat down to play it with workmates today, having read the instructions yesterday. It was tough. I suspect the underlying game is brilliant, but the instructions left us all feeling lost. Example: attacking and defending. Can multiple players attack at the same time? Or is the first player to attack the attacker and the rest can only defend? It looks like all defending players have to be tapped individually - does each tap constitute an order or is the defence the whole order? So many questions. We're going to persevere and watch the video but the instruction leaflet should probably be re-written at some point, for idiots like me.
