Hey everybody. Uh it's your old pal Ron. Today, we are going to be taking a look at a game that is coming to uh crowdfunding very, very, very soon. So, you're going to want to look for it, and I believe it is coming to Gamefound, if I'm not uh 100% correct. But, it is based on a book, and it's called Trials of Maya. Now, this is the book, uh which is a book about a supercomputer in the form of a tree that can predict the future. Uh the game itself here is a MOBA. So, you're going to be you know, it it it's a lot of like uh League of Legends and things like that.
Uh really interesting game. We're going to go down, we're going to go take a look at it, and then we're going to come back and give our final thoughts on the other side. I'm not going to go over everything. Uh um um I'm going to give you the very, very basics of what's going on here, and uh show you uh everything is in prototype form. So, uh just know that when you're looking at it, and uh from from looks of prototype, boy, uh I think you're going to want to get this, cuz the prototype's really good. I saw I can imagine what the finished product is. Let's go down, take a look, and then we'll talk more about this on the other side. So, I just wanted to show you uh one of the some of the bigger boards here. Uh these are your spawn points, and they actually have little suckers on them, which is pretty cool. Which just stick to the board. But, uh what I'm going to be showing you is on the one player board here, but um there's a couple of different boards that you're going to have here and you're going to recognize things uh as we go through and we show you a few things and I'm going to set it for one side. So, uh I just wanted to show you this bigger board and this is all in prototype form.
So, we'll be talking more about this uh as we go through. This is the one versus uh one board. So, you could you could you know, you could play uh certain battles. You have a rule book that really just a really breaks everything down. It's very clean in how it explains everything in the card uh uh uh explanation. Uh your cards, which will I'm going to show you that very soon. Uh this is where you're going to be gaining energy. You're going to have action icons, range modifiers uh here. Um your energy cost, which we'll explain in a little bit what the card does, the certain traits it has and what type of card it's There's action cards and and some other things in here, but everything is done. Uh they show you how to construct the deck. They are going to have expansions that you're going to get a lot more um characters and and we'll be showing you that. The game modes uh like I was trying to tell you is siege and then head hunter. Uh we took a look at the 2v2 uh board and now this is the 1v1 board and it gives you how to set everything up. Of course, I have it set up for uh you know, uh the wrong way.
Uh if you're playing 1v1, you're only going to have one spawning area and of course, one uh one uh base that you're going to be protecting. Uh you'll be setting up for either long games or short games uh and that'll be by your health tokens. They'll be either nine or 12 for your bases. Um and you are going to have minions that you're going to be using. And uh they will have a certain amount of tokens and they will be on the board. You'll be playing as a character and as you can see, the characters are very very unique uh such as this monkey dude. Okay. Uh you could be a snake dude. Uh and and this is only the prototype versions uh that we're showing you. I'll show you a couple others here. Uh this is like a metallic bird. And then uh you you have another one that comes with the prototype uh which is uh this dude here. Uh and they all come with their own special board which uh we will show you very very very shortly. Uh you are going to be trying to destroy the other person's base as well as the other person. You'll have death tokens here. So, as you die, uh you'll come back to life and HP bank over here. Uh on um every time you die, your tower is going to take damage. Okay? Uh you're going to have a action phase where you're going to move your friendly minions, which are these. Okay? Uh
you're going to have your champion's turn because this is your champion. And then the tower's turn uh on on on how that goes about. Now, how do you do all these things and how do you go about that? Well, each each champion is going to have a board. Okay? And as you can see, uh right now I'm showing you uh the monkey's board. Uh he'll have some strategy tips uh and what he does and so forth and so on. That board is going to connect right here. Okay? And as you can see, this is going to be your player board. Okay? You are going to have a deck of cards. Okay? And then you're going to have three cards here, okay?
Which is very cool. You will be uh tracking your energy because that's how you're going to pay for the cards, okay? And uh health and everything else. Over here will be uh abilities that you'll be able to level up. And then there these cards that will slip in here, which will give you particular skills that you will be able to use from time to time. Uh which is very very very very cool on how those work. So, you'll have those uh in in your section and they will call you will be able to rotate them to unlock them uh to unlock different abilities, okay? How you pay for energy um at at your turn, you are going to slide and then you are going to take that energy there, like for instance, that's seven. You're going to fill in a card and then from there you'll be able to activate and pay for the cost. For instance, if we wanted to use this card, we would pay four, 1 2 3 4, and that's how much energy we would use to use this particular ability. But, remember, as you are dealing cards, what you're able to do constantly it's changing.
Which is really really cool. And then some of these might slide off and and may you know, may only give you one energy. So, you've got to plan ahead and understand what and how you're going to go about using your particular actions. Uh comes with a really nice player aid for for a prototype. You're going to have your refresh phase. What What do you do during your refresh phase? You're going to reset your XP cards, which we're talking about. You're going to draw. You're going to reset any action cards. You're going to do your slide phase. This is where you're going to get your energy. Okay? And if they have any effects, some of them may have effects when they slide off. Okay? So, you're going to be utilizing that. Then you're going to go through your player turns. Okay? And this is where you're going to use your champion and your allies.
And you're going to go through with things. And you're going to have a bunch of different actions that you can do. You can move, you can attack, you can defend, you can draw, you can push, you can pull. Um you have debuffs. And then there's a ton of icons that just explain all the iconography on the on the cards, which is really fascinating. Um a nice, clean, and unique little MOBA system that really, really, really works out really well. It's fun. It it it it has a lot of um I I really love the the chips and how you're going to be utilizing these guys. Once you defeat if you defeat an opponent, you get to capture that and you get to respawn these guys for yourself. So, you'll be able to get to use them yourself. Um just really, really a unique little system that does a lot of a familiar familiar movements, but the story behind it and how you utilize cards to predict kind of like the future, which kind of goes with the book, is really interesting because it feels like the book. And I really think this is something that you'll find very interesting on Game Fan. Again, I'm not going over everything here. I wanted to kind of show you um
and and and and you know, to to be honest, Um, I I didn't have a ton of time to get this video up. So, I wanted to make sure that you at least had a feel for it. There's going to be a link at the bottom of the video, so you can go over to Game Found uh and definitely check this out. I think you're going to be very interested in what uh Zane has has come up with. I think this is a unique. The book is interesting. I I I've gotten into a couple chapters and it's very interesting. The real cool thing here, okay, with the book is you see this picture here? It looks like there's a mess here, but you put these glasses on and it reveals something. And I thought that was a real cool little feel to it because it adds to the story.
Um, for a prototype this is this is off the charts, so I can imagine what they're going to do. And already this game is very very clean. Check out the link to Game Found. This is a game that I really feel um you would really do well with and and is very very unique. Uh they plan more expansions and everything for it. Very unique, like I said, very unique story. Let's go up top and get my final thoughts. Now, let's talk about Trials of Maya. I'll show you the big cover if I wanted to. And I wanted to show you the box that this thing came in too because there's a lot going on in here. So, one of the things I wanted to tell you I gave you a nice brief overview and what I figured out from this game and and some of the things I messed with.
But um during the campaign, I plan on doing at least uh uh uh uh a a a a bit of a play-through, a couple of turns, once I've gotten the system 100% down because I don't want to show you something that I'm doing wrong. Um, but the general idea I've got nailed down and I I really like the mechanics, what this does, how it does it. Uh The story is so unique and so out there a little bit. And it it it it kind of unnerves you a little bit and I I like that. And and it's not in a bad way. What I mean is it it is a very intense story and you could feel it in the the game play a bit.
Um The the book is really unique. Make sure if you if you're going to back this, make sure you get the book as well and and and and really get a feel for this because I think it really helps with theme wise and they both go together very very well. Wonderful wonderful unique different type of of of of game and story and I keep saying that but that's what we need nowadays. So make sure that you check the link down in game that I put for game found here. You won't be disappointed to check it out. See if it's for you. Know that it's coming and fund this because I think it deserves to be fund.
And it's a wonderful wonderful game. Like I said, gave you a a nice little overview but during while the campaign is going on which I think is a week or two, I I'm going to try to squeeze in another video with a more in-depth play through which I hope will help you.
