Evil Cults for Dummies

A Complete Idiot's Guide to Summoning spirits, fiends and eldritch horrors

Components

• 3 decks of unique 10~20 summon cards each
• default summon cards
• location deck ~15 cards
• ~10x6 dice of each color, (mana)
• magical reagent tokens

Setup

• everyone starts with the same six default summon cards of cultists(1Str) laid in front of them.and 3 dice of their color
• default locations + 1 randomly drawn location card in the center of the table

Gameplay

Every round, everyone rolls as many dice as they want. Everyone then takes turns placing a die onto a location card. Depending on the spaces available at each location, and the properties of each summon, a die may replace or coexist with dice already at that location, or simply cannot be placed at that location. Once everyone has finished placing their workers, locations are resolved in order, and creatures not destroyed are returned to owners as mana, to be rerolled next turn.

Locations

Locations have spaces on them where creatures(workers) can be placed. Locations are numbered, and should be resolved in order. Locations can either straight up give you resources, or they may allow you special actions, such as rerolling dice in the next round, or changing another player's summoning hand, or peeking at decks etc. They may also add modifiers to your creature abilities this turn.

Default Locations: - "Supermarket" unlimited capacity, gain 1 magical reagent (MR) - "Power Plant" 2 capacity, gain 1 mana - "basic summoning circle" 1 capacity, spend 1MR and draw 1 card from summoning deck 1 - "advanced summoning circle" 1 capacity, spend 3MR and draw 1 card from summoning deck 2 (much stronger)

Special Locations: - 5x"Cataclysm Circle Fragment", once all the fragments are on the table, the last fragment becomes an usable location, which can win the game.

Other Example locations "Sacrificial Altar" unlimited capacity, all creatures are destroyed, owner of winning creature gains 2*destroyed-creatures mana. "Dimension door" 1 capacity, resolved first, move one creature you own. "Sewers" 1 capacity, gain 3MR, only slot1/2/3 creatures allowed.

Summoning

Summon creatures by rolling dice. What creature that dice represents depends on your summoning hand of six cards face up on the table in front of you. Creatures have a strength value, and special abilities. When there are more creatures than spaces at a location, creatures with higher strength get the better spots. When placing creatures, you can choose to place them underneath another creature (stacking the dice) to boost that creature's power by 1.

Say later on you have "infernal retriever"(Str2) on your 3 slot, any dice that roll as 3 is now worth 2 Strength

Example creatures - "undead roach" Str1, slots2/3, cannot be destroyed - "fireball" Str5, slot1, destroys all creatures at that location, including itself - "uranium golem" Str3, slots4/5, all creatures at that location are destroyed after the round ends

Synopsis

worker placement using dice, with more worker types and locations as game progresses.

Two teams of drones fight to score points in a special sport called Drone Ball. Each player control a drone which they should try to catch the opposing team’s ball and return it to their base to score point. The twist is that each team has a ball but it is not a regular ball - it is a RC car that can try to avoid being catched.

Components

4 drone pawns, 2 RC car pawns (the ball), a bag of colored dice (white, red, blue, green, black, yellow). Rule cards in matching colors. 25 cards with different firmware updates (extra rules)

The playing field is 16x16 tiles. Team bases are placed in opposite corners. 4 squares near the center are Power-up tiles.

Set-up

Each team place their drone on their own base and their car pawn on a tile next to the base. Every player have a dice mat for their drone and a dice mat for the team RC. Put one white dice on each mat at beginning of play, and a random colored dice from the dice bag on each power-up tile.

Starting rules

For each white die you may roll and move the number of squares the dice shows and once make a 90 degree turn.

On your turn you may, Choose to roll some or all of the dice on your drone dice mat and execute allowed maneuvers. Leave the movement dice to show your speed.

On your opponent's turn you may (before anyone else) roll the dice on you RC mat and execute allowed maneuvers.

You can pick up the opponent RC car by moving your drone over it. Return it to you own base to score 1 point. The car is moved back to the opponent’s base and the game continues.

If your drone move into an opponent’s drone pawn you may knock it down temporarily and releasing the ball to an adjacent tile. To knock down an opponent you need to have more speed than your opponent. Knocked down drones skip a turn.

Whenever a drone fly over the power-up tiles it can take that dice and put on their mat. RC cars can also grab dice. Power-ups are replenished upon scoring.

Each dice color has its own rule which you can learn by turning over the corresponding colored rule-card. The yellow die let you move diagonally and make one ekstra turn. The green die is defence and the red dice is special attack. The black joker die can be a copy a dice on your mat of your choice.

On every score - the opposing team draw two firmware update cards, picks one and pass one. These cards a special rules that can be played once and the discarded. A firmware update could for example be; pick up the RC car when adjacent to it or when swap a die to any other color of your choice or double your current score and so on.

The first to score 101 points win.
