Cloud Foxes

The Game:

When the merchants came to the Levitating Isles in search of magical wood to build their sky-ships, they displaced the cloud foxes with their settlements, ports and trade routes. YOU are a Cloud Fox chieftain and have allied with human outlaws to take back your homeland.

Cloud Foxes is all about allocating your dice to place tiles. Tiles can be used to claim ports, fight for control of islands and loot merchant ships for valuable goods. And each tile has a special ability, such as a combat, repair or bonus points. 

At the end of the game, players score for the islands they control, for sets of resources which match ports they have claimed, and for each tree they have planted. 

How To Play:

All players roll their 3 dice behind their screens. On your turn…

1. Place a tile using a simple coordinate system. Allocate one dice to the row you wish to play in, and one dice to the column — with your remaining dice determining the strength of the tile you can play.

2.  Collect loot you land on and activate your fox’s ability. 

Example: if your tile has the cannon symbol you can attack any enemy fox in the same row, column or diagonal.

3. Spend cloud tokens to unleash special powers. Adjust your dice rolls, “sail” tiles that have already been placed, or flip your foxes over to garrison them in fortifications! 

Once you’re done, collect your dice and roll them ready for the next turn.

Scoring:

The game ends when all the board spaces have been filled. 

1. See who is in control of each island. The player with the tiles of highest total value around an island wins the points shown.

2. Count up your sets of each loot type and the ports you have claimed. For each set multiply by the number of matching ports to get your points. 

3. Score a bonus point for every levitating tree you have planted.  

The player with the most points rules the newly resurgent Cloud Fox kingdom!
