Description
"Ohne Furcht und Adel" is a competitive role-selection game where players hire characters to acquire gold, build structures, and score points upon reaching eight buildings. Key mechanics include: - *Role selection* Players secretly choose one of eight characters each round, whose abilities activate in fixed order (e.g., assassin eliminates, thief steals gold, wizard swaps cards, warlord destroys buildings). - *Resource management* Turns allow earning gold or drawing/discarding building cards, then constructing buildings (up to three as architect) using gold. - *Building construction* Buildings in five colors provide points; purple ones have special abilities, others synergize with characters; bonuses for eight buildings or all colors. - *Disruption tactics* Characters enable interference like elimination, theft, swapping, and destruction among opponents. - *Action cards (2012 edition)* Fifteen added cards (seven types) mix into building deck; play one per turn for effects like hand theft, extra builds, assassination negation; worth one point each at end. Ohne Furcht und Adel is a strategic board game where players start with building cards and each round secretly select one of eight characters to hire, activating abilities in sequence for advantages or sabotage: assassin eliminates a character, thief steals gold, wizard swaps buildings, warlord destroys a building, and others. On turns, players earn gold or draw two building cards (discarding one), then optionally erect one building (or more with architect or action cards), costing gold based on color-coded types—purple for special abilities, others for character synergies. The game ends after a player's eighth building, scoring points from all erected buildings plus bonuses for possessing eight or all five colors. The 2012 release integrates fifteen new action cards into the building deck (playable once per turn, worth one point each): Wahrsagerin (x2, steal from hand), Direktor (x2, extra builds), Rasputin (x1, negate assassination), Akrobatin (x1, claim crown sans king), Kassenwagen (x3, gold-for-draws then cash out), Lebende Kanonenkugel (x2, upgrade building), Zirkuszelt (x3, indestructible zero-point build).
