HosTILE Takeover
A downloadable Board Game
HosTILE Takeover
A 4 player free for all city builder game with inspiration from Tetris, Carcassonne and Monopoly. Along with bluffing themes inspired form games like the classic Poker.
The idea behind this game was to create an assymetrical versus game where you're forced to make deals with people. We thought it would be a fun idea to have you all require each others resources so stimulate trades and deals. You have to be careful to not make too generous a deal whereby they don't need your resources any more and if you're too stingy or reluctant to trade you may never get the resources you need.
Setup
- Set up the board and hand each player their buildings and help cards.
- Give each player 20 of their resources.
- Organise remaining resources in separate piles in a banking area.
- Select the number of purple noble houses to play with.
- Each player in turn places a random noble house where they like.
- Player who set the game up goes first in the turn order.
Turn order
- Gain 4 Resources of your colour.
- Gain Resources from each of your completed buildings based on their listed value.
- Going clockwise around the table each player Places up to 4 of their resources to claim land (1 resource per land).
- Resolve any shared claims. Last person to put down claim must offer at least +1 the cost and each person in turn must then offer more than the current cost to stay in the bidding process until the player decides not to bet on the claim.
- Players can then trade resources under any arrangement. If the players shake then the deal is complete and cannot be reversed.
- Player can spend the relevant resources listed on each building to build that structure on claimed land.
Scoring
When players can no longer build on claimed land and no one is willing to trade land the game ends and the players move onto the scoring section.
- Each player adds up the total number of tiles each building of their faction occupies on the board. This score is multiplied by 2.
- Each player adds 1 score for every 2 claimed tiles with no buildings on them
- Each player adds up the total of each currency they have. The person with the most wins 30 points, 2nd place gets 10 and 3rd place gets 5.
Once each player has added up their score the person with the highest score wins the game
