Beskrivelse
During the Dragul Invasion of Nalos, King Taron’s loyal soldiers throw captured minions into Kulbak Prison, where enchanted gates and Construct guards make escape all but impossible. Once each year, Taron releases the toughest gang of war prisoners into the royal Colosseum to fight for their freedom.
In Lockup: A Roll Player Tale, players command squadrons of captured minions. They must keep their suspicion from the guards under control while hiring the strongest crew and building the most powerful items. The crew with the highest reputation wins the game and a chance to fight for their freedom
Lockup is a worker placement game with elements of bluffing, set collection, resource management, and variable scoring to make sure each game feels different. Collect and play tome cards at the right moment to get the upper hand. Each player’s crew has members with different strengths and abilities. Knowing when and where to use each member of the crew is key to success in Kulbak.
Lockup is played over six rounds. Each round is divided into three phases:
ROLL CALL – Players take turns placing their minions in different parts of the Kulbak Prison, some face up showing a unit’s strength and some face down, hiding the strength from the other players.
LIGHTS OUT – Each area location on the board is scored based on the strength of each player’s crew. Players receive resources and have opportunities to recruit goons and build items.
PATROL PHASE – The game board is prepared for the next round of play. The guards then patrol Kulbak and can call a raid, punishing the players who have attracted the suspicion of the guards in previous turns.
When playing the Solitary Mode of Lockup, the player is isolated in an old wing of the prison. Instead of playing against other players, the player is playing against an automated opponent – the guards.
Each round, the guards are dispatched to different locations of Kulbak, and are slowly revealed, sometimes even calling for reinforcements.
Gain the upper hand on each of the three levels of difficulty in Solitary Mode and score higher than the corrupt guards to secure your position at the top when King Taron arrives.
