OVERVIEW OF UMBRA VIA

Umbra Via is an awesome game where is player is able to create their own path throughout the game. Be careful though, other players may secretly be ahead of you to rank higher on the path you worked so hard for!

Paths lead to the unknown, but special flowers can be gathered along the way. Each flower has a purpose, but the Soul flowers are the end goal! Use flowers to bid for tiles, and use the frustration of your playmates to win! 

SETUP

Game Setup

To setup the game, place the Main board in the middle of the group so that all players can reach it. The Altar board should be placed above it. Shuffle the Path tiles and then place them facing down, in a stack near the Altar board. The four Placement Order counters may be placed nearby.

Player Setup

Each player should then choose a color and take the following pieces of that color: one bidding board, one player screen, one bag, thirty-three Energy flowers, and seventeen Soul flowers. After gathering the necessities, each player should set aside one Energy flower to act as their tiebreaker marker. The flowers should be placed in a random order on the Tiebreaker track to the right of the Altar board. 

Players will then place their Soul tile, with 11 Soul flowers of their color on it, near the board with the x2 side facing down. All player screens should be stood up in front of their corresponding players. Bidding bags, filled with the players’ remaining Soul flowers and Energy flowers, will be placed behind the player screens.

GAMEPLAY

Each game round consists of three phases. After phase one is completed, go immediately into phase two, then into phase three.

Phase 1: Round Setup

Phase one sets up the tiles to make them available for bidding.  Draw four tiles from the top of the stack and place them facing up on the Altar board. Do not rotate or change the orientation of any tiles. Place them like they were when they were flipped

Phase 2: Bidding

During Phase two, players will hold two rounds of secret auction to decide who will be allowed to place each of the four Altar tiles on the Main board. All players will draw three flowers from their bag and place them behind their player screen.

In secret, players will allocate their flowers on their bidding board to bid on whichever tile they want to win. In each round of bidding, players must bid all of the three flowers they drew. They may use all three on the same tile, but all three must be used.

When everyone is done allocating, they reveal their bidding boards and place the flowers bid onto the corresponding tiles on the Altar board. Immediately, the next round of bidding may begin, following the same steps as the first round. Once bidding is concluded, the Placement Phase may begin.  안전놀이터추천
