Costa Ruana
The little extra: a game of strategy and bluff where managing your actions well will allow you to get your hands on priceless treasures!
In Costa Ruana, you are a tribal leader.
Send your natives to nearby islands to get your hands on more pirate treasure than your rivals.
If you become a shaman, your decisions influence events, so your rivals will try to influence you by right or wrong means...
Your objective is to score the most points by having treasures in your hut and natives in your supply at the end of the fifth round.
Treasures are the key: each turn, you collect one on each island on which your tribe is the majority (or minority, if other tribes are linked to it).
Maps allow you to move treasures, place natives on islands, bring them home, or move them between islands.
Each turn, everyone plays one card face up in front of ANY player (including themselves), followed by another card, face down (also in front of anyone).
Finally, you can place a native on any played card - even a hidden card played by an opponent, if you are very daring! — to copy its effect for yourself.
Each card's background is one of four colors, but each turn only cards of two colors will resolve, affecting the players they are played in front of.
The shaman determines these colors by turning over one of the two condition cards.
If you are the shaman, use your power to the best; if not, try guessing others or influencing the shaman.
Remember the number of treasures in other players' huts and manage your natives carefully - a few points can make a difference!
