CARD TYPESBlocking cards are used against Princes playing Fighting or Leadership type cards. They are resolved before the contest. In the case of blocked Conquest cards, Armies, not hits are lost. In the case of blocked Attack cards, the blocked Prince may make a Fighting Save to avoid all damage. Block, Negate, and Defense cards are played on an opponents turn in response to his actions. Result Modifier cards affect Princes that have just been damaged or if it says so, just lost a Leadership contest.
WD = Will Defense LC = Leadership Contest (You must have at least 1 Army to play) FC = Fighting Contest FS = Fighting Save A = Action B = Block N = Negate D = Defense M = Modifier RM = Result Modifier

FAQ's
1. FS cards (only one right now): is not clear to me how to use them. *The Shadow Assassins card... If you play it and you lose the contest, your Prince suffer no damage. (the assassins were killed, the Prince wasn't there) 2. How can different princes work together? *Princes you control can work together. You can add their attribute scores together in Contests. For example: You control Corwin & Bleys. You have them attack Amber. Amber is defended by the Lords Eric, Caine, and Gerard. It is a Leadership contest. Exiles: (8 + 10 + 2D6) vs Lords: (9 + 8 + 7 + 2D6). or in another example: Eric sends Shadow Assassins vs Corwin. You control Corwin & Random... You have them fight off the Assassins together. 3. When you use the effect of a blocking card: example, "Ambush"; effect: how do you apply the "Target Prince takes 1d6 hits" effect? *The contest being "blocked" will still occur unless the blocked Prince is killed or, in the case of a Leadership contest, loses all his armies. The Blocked Prince takes 1D6 damage before the contest begins. LINKSAmber Dictionary GAME DESIGNERS NOTESThis game is based on the first book of the series. As I read more books the game will be expanded. AMULETSBy Jörg Hansen A (not really) fantasy game of deduction for 3-5 players. Five spirits are captured in five amulets. The wizards try to find out their correct placements on the altar to cast the freeing spell. Succeeding means honour, failure means eternal doom. ;) Material
You need the altar, a 5x5 map signed A1 to E5, and 5 amulets (pawns), in colors or shapes different. A 30-card deck is needed corresponding to the map grid (A1 to E5) and the 5 amulets. Since players need this deck only once at the beginning of the game, a standard poker deck and a translation table will do. Every player needs a sheet of paper as spell book, and a pen. The spell book The wizards should draw their spell books as following: A table, consisting of 8-10 rows - 5 rows for the amulets, 3-5 rows for the wizards. The rows should be named with the amulets and the wizards' names. The wizards' names should begin with the own name and then proceed clockwise. An example spell book could look like this: Directory: games games -> Sunday, September 10, 2006 games -> Script master of ceremonies games -> Introduction to Using Games in Education: a guide for Teachers and Parents games -> Assistant Professor University of Central Florida games -> Color code games -> 1 Introduction 1 Aims Page 5-7 games -> M new icrosoft® Age of Empires Collectors Pack games -> Moves in Mind: The Psychology of Board Games Download 8.66 Mb.
