EN Publishing is trying their hand at a card game and it’s currently fully funded at Kickstarter. In Split the Hoard, players take on the roles of fantasy heroes divvying up a defeated dragon’s treasure. The game utilizes “I cut, you choose” as its core mechanic. Split the Hoard is for two to five players, ages 14+, and plays in around 20 minutes. The project is fully funded and you can reserve a copy of the game for a pledge of approximately $20.00 through October 24th. Expected delivery is next April.
About the game:
The dragon is dead!
You and your heroic companions look down at a hoard of unimaginable wealth.
Still battered from the epic fight with the dragon, you know an army of scavengers will soon approach. You can’t stay long. With gold and silver all around, you sift through the board for items of special value before negotiating who should get what.
You will undoubtedly leave with more wealth than you can spend in several lifetimes, but wealth alone is not enough! Bards are sure to give you fantastic titles when they sing of your exploits, but will your haul enable you to claim the most impressive titles?
Split the Hoard is a competitive card game for 2-5 players, and takes around 20 minutes to play. Players take the role of a classic adventuring class, in order to win Titles.
The game is played in a series of rounds. Each round players will search the hoard for treasures, make deals with other players, and add treasures to their Haul.
The games features hidden victory points, set collection, and “I cut, you choose” mechanics.
The game ends when all the treasure has been split, and all scoring takes place at the end of the game.
