Produktbeschreibung
Zanziar is a fantasy board game for 2-6 players.
In Zanziar, mighty heroes roam the lands of Zanziar to regain their throne of power. The charismatic heroes guide their allied adventurers and armies through battles, adventures and events to the victory: the domination of the lands of the Zanziar.
Up to six players take the roles of these heroes and the battle for domination of Zanziar can begin. Zanziar is a fantasy world where heroes and adventurers are occasionally mightier than entire armies and where magical items and events are, if not common place, then at least known to exist. In the ravaged and war-torn realm the rulers of the world search for salvation and hope - for all peoples or only to their own. A keen and lucky traveler might even find pieces of the long lost artifact, the Staff of Wyrmandalus, which would give unlimited might to its wielder.
Object of the Game -
In Zanziar the heroes must gather armies, ally with adventurers, vanquish other heroes and conquer cities in order to fulfill their goals. Each hero has his own set of victory conditions, out of which two must be completed to gain victory. The game allows a wide variety of tactics to be used to achieve victory.
Zanziar imaginatively combines a strategy board game with the wider range of player choice of the role-playing game tradition. The game world is alive with detail, enabling new and surprising gaming experiences to stand the test of time and offering great replay value. Since Zanziar is as enjoyable when played as a game of adventure as of strategy or tactics, it is accessible for players of different ages with different levels of gaming experience. Easy to learn but difficult to master, the game offers fun and excitement for the whole family. Zanziar is the first release of Finnish game design company Dragon Dawn Productions. Its creator, Timo Multamäki, has decades of experience in role-playing game design and production. The game is in English and is recommended for players of 12 years and up. Rules are also available in Finnish. German, Swedish, Danish and Russian translations are presently done and will be published within 2009 as free PDFs
Zanziar is originally written in English.
