Each player has an identical deck of 10 cards. Thousands of combinations are possible, and you won't have a lifetime to test all your strategic ideas. No two games of ARIA: Masdar are alike: the dynamics of the game are notably different - but just as interesting - whether you're playing in pairs, threes or fours. three or four players.
In the first phase, each player must place his or her cards around the Source of Life, knowing that their position will have an impact on the rest of the game.
In the second phase, players compete using the effects of their cards, with the aim of eliminating or knocking out as many of their opponent's cards as possible.
Each card has its own special powers: some protect other cards, others move them, and some, like the assassin, can kill.
Egyptian-inspired, the artistic aspiration of the project is intended to be uniform and symbolic.
