Product Description

BSGGG01 Guards! Guards! A Discworld Boardgame

Secret societies, rampaging trolls, drunken dwarves, cut throat street sellers and an 800 pound set of luggage thundering around the city on hundreds of tiny legs.

Players are tasked to collect and return five of the missing Great Spells to the University. Each player selects one of four Guilds to infiltrate, Thieves, Assassins, Alchemists or Fools. Their chosen Guild card will give them a specific selection of the Great Spells to collect and grants them a unique Guild Ability which can be used to hinder their opponents. It is also used to mark the players Charm, Guild and Magic abilities, which can be developed throughout the game.

Time is short, so rather than returning each Spell in person, the players have been granted the power to recruit the good, and not so good, inhabitants of the city to act as guards and runners to protect and return the Spells to the University. There are fourteen locations on the board where players may Charm (or Bribe) Volunteers to join them on their quest.

The characters are split into three Volunteer Decks each representing a range of inhabitants who might be found in different locations within the city, Lords and Ladies, Man and Beast and Shades and Shadows.

Each Volunteer is assigned a set of skill attributes which can be used individually to protect the Spells, or combined with those of other Volunteers and used to complete the Wizards Challenges - five tests of strength, brain, and worthiness which the runners must complete in order to enter the Unseen University with the Great Spells. A selection of enchanted scrolls, weapons, armour and magical items can be purchased by players to equip their Volunteers and boost their attributes.
