Overview
What ABG knows about this game
There is danger in the West... Ferocious orcs are raiding and pillaging, and behind them comes the mighty dragon, Golianth. You are a Guardian, one of the five rival heroes sworn to defend the realm. The King has decreed that you must work together to send weapons and shields, search for ancient artifacts and call on the power of magical spells, all while bringing villagers to safety within the Castle. There are many Guardians, but there can only be one Guardian of the Realm, the leader who will lead their combined strength to victory. Bring the greatest resources to the Council and save the most villagers and you will be named the Guardian of the Realm. Overview Guardian’s Call is a bluffing and deduction game for 2-5 players. Each player takes the role of a renowned Guardian, a leader of one of the mighty clans. Each turn you will gather provisions from the center pool and then make an offer of aid to another player. That player will decide if they think your offer is sincere or if they think you are trying to deceive them. If they are correct in guessing, they gain all of the provisions that were offered. If they were incorrect, you gain the provisions. Each type of provision grants points in a different manner, and the more you collect, the greater their points value. What’s in the Box • 1 Castle game board • 5 Guardian player boards • 20 Offer tokens • 120 Guardian game cards • 16 Quest cards • 20 Treasure cards • 70 Victory Point tokens • 40 Coin tokens • 45mm Starting Player token • 5 Player meeples
