My last article was about making this the board game it should have been, an EPIC STORY.  These downloads are the second version of these rules, expanded after a few playtests.  The idea of these rules is to give the Gelflings more control over Thra and the wilds around them. 

Thra A Living World of Danger

Aughras Observatory comes out when the Gelflings are able to create the right conditions, and they have new powers to help them explore the world and experience real adventures using the world cards. The Wise ones can help even from a distance, while Kyra's knowledge of Thra lets her change the board, and increase the chance that the Observatory can be revealed.

Powerful Skeksis

The Skeksis have new powers to stop the Gelflings, while also being able to fight to be Emperor as the game continues.  They also can influence challenges from afar, making it harder for the Gelflings at every turn.

Epic Combat and Escapes

Combat is no longer a grueling roll fest, you roll once and the winner determines the outcome.  A winning Gelfling can choose to escape rather than fight, expanding their knowledge of Thra.  An escape can lead to amazing adventures and challenges

While the Skeksis can use the capture of a Gelfing to try to become emperor and stop the Gelflings and the end game is now a dangerous fight.

The End Game is now one that leads to divided Skeksis having the choice to fight or unite.  The Gelflings have the opportunity to leap to the crystal and end the game avoiding the Skeksis and combat.

The Game is now an epic story with strategy and powers that give players choices, and its FREE!
