Artus games

If a Knight lands on an occupied space, then the previous tenant is dislodged and moved back to the next open space. Placing a ring on a Prince earns that player the number of PPs equal to the space the Prince occupies.

The old King loses all his rings but one. But the biggest chunks of scoring are reserved for the Assignment cards. Each player has six Assignment cards in his deck and they trigger different scoring configurations. After 11 rounds, all cards have been played and positions on the scoring track are compared.

The player with the most Prestige Points is the victor! Artus is essentially an abstract game with only the slightest flavor of theme and, at its core, extremely tactical. Its nature makes for indirect interaction as no card will directly target an opponent. Instead, players must concentrate on their own positions and possibilities to maximize scores. However, several factors prevent the game from sinking into complete chaos while giving it its own distinct appeal. Second, YOU choose which cards to draw to complete your hand each round.

Since all red spaces result in negative points, you are guaranteed to lose points with this card. A smart player, however, can try to draw and hold this card, ready to be played when three of his knights are on the lesser negative spaces. For that reason, it is a good idea to draw scoring cards relatively early to be prepared to optimize scoring situations when they present themselves and to keep one or two Knight cards in reserve so that you can exert some control over the movement of your pieces and are not solely at the mercy of board shifts.

Third, on each turn, a player plays TWO cards. This also gives some control and allows a player to set up a situation with the first card and then deliver a powerhouse blow with the second like a championship fighter in a title fight. Artus is a game that rewards the ability to think on your feet, pounce on situations that open up rapidly and disappear just as quickly and manage your cards to maximize scoring potential.
