After introducing Love Letter Premium last week, we have the pleasure today to release Secret Moon, another game from Seiji Kanai!
Published by Kanai Factory in 2014, Secret Moon is set in the same kind of romantic atmosphere as Love Letter, and can be considered a second game in the same series. It is much less known that Love Letter, and we are happy to allow players to get to know it here on Board Game Arena, because we think it's a really nice game too!
In Secret Moon, the princess is a shy young woman who likes to read about the world beyond the castle walls. She would like to meet with the wanderer in order to listen to him telling the tale of his travels. Unfortunately, this is not considered proper for a princess, so they have to meet secretely at night in the gardens, and the minister and guards will try to prevent this encounter...
This 5 to 8 players game is a semi-cooperative game, where you'll be either in the princess team or in the minister team. Like in a "werewolf" game you won't know which team other players belong to (except the wanderer and the princess who recognize each other). But unlike a "werewolf" game, you aren't allowed to chat about the game: Secret Moon is a game of deduction and guesses, where you'll try to sneak unnoticed silently through the gardens at night! You will need to rely on a limited set of actions to try and discover who is on which side and try to match the winning condition...
If you are on the minister team, you'll try to discover both the wanderer and the princess, or to capture the princess. If you are on the princess team, you'll try to escape the minister team during three consecutive rounds, or to capture the minister! The available actions to reach your goal are:
_ Inspect: look secretely at a character card.
_ Inquire: ask "Who goes there?" to another player. This will give a clue about this player's identity through a conventional answer.
_ Accuse: guess character card and reveal it (if incorrect, reveal your own).
_ Protect: defend someone or yourself (unavailable during round 3).
_ Disrupt: force another player to pass his/her turn (in exchange, you are captured).
_ Capture: "capture" a player with a revealed character (unavailable for guards).
_ Pass: choose a discarded turn order card and take it (for the next round).
At first, it may be a little difficult to know what to do, but the game plays fast since you have just one action per round. So don't hesitate to try out things to see how it goes, then start another game! You'll quickly get familiar with the possibilities offered by each action. Here are some tips:
_ During the first round, you'll mostly need information, so Inspect and Inquire will be very useful.
_ If someone on your team is discovered and in danger, use Protect! But that may get you in trouble too...
_ On the second round, if enough info is available, you'll use Accuse to reveal players, or Pass to get first play in the third round to be able to Capture! (the Pass action is an essential part of the game!)
_ Disrupt can be powerful, but don't forget that it will get you captured.
We would like to thank Seiji Kanai for his kind authorization to create an online version of Secret Moon, and for taking the time to make a test of the game with us! Thanks a lot!
We hope that you'll enjoy discovering this new cooperative/semi-cooperative game on Board Game Arena!
☽ Skrivnost luna ☾
Po uvedbi Ljubezen pismo Premium prejšnji teden, imamo užitek danes za javnost Skrivnost Moon, še ena igra iz Seiji Kanai! Objavil Kanai tovarne leta 2014, Skrivnost luna se nahaja v isto vrsto romantično vzdušje kot ljubezensko pismo, in lahko šteje druga igra v seriji iste. Manj znano je, da ljubezensko pismo, in smo veseli, da lahko igralci dobili vedeti, da tukaj na prizorišče igre, ker mislimo, da je res lepo igro preveč!
V skrivnost Moon, princesa je sramežljiv mlada ženska, ki radi berejo o svetu zunaj grajskega obzidja. Ona bi rad spoznal z wanderer da bi poslušaj ga pripoveduje zgodbo o svojih potovanjih. Na žalost, to je, ne šteje za ustrezno za princeso, zato jih morajo izpolnjevati secretely ponoči v vrtovihin minister in policisti bodo poskušali preprečiti to srečanje...
5 do 8 igralcev igra je semi-zadruga igra, kjer boste v ekipi princesa ali v ekipi ministra. Kot v "volkodlak" igra ne bodo vedeli, ki druga ekipa igralcev pripadajo (razen wanderer in princesa, ki med seboj priznavajo). Vendar za razliko od a "volkodlak" igro, vam ni dovoljeno klepet o igri: skrivnost Moon je igra odbitek in ugibanja, kjer bom poskusil, da skrivaj tiho skozi vrtove neopažena ponoči!
Boste morali zanesti se na a omejen niz dejanj poskusiti in odkrijte, kdo je na kateri strani in poskuša zmagovalni stanje... Če ste v ekipi ministra, bom poskusil odkriti wanderer in princeska, ali za zajemanje princesa. Če ste v ekipi princeso, bom poskusil pobegniti ekipi minister v treh zaporednih krogov, ali za zajem minister! Razpoložljivi prijemi za dosego svojega cilja so:
_ Preglej: secretely gledati značaja kartici.
_ Poizveduje: vprašati, "Kdo gre?" na drugega igralca. To bo dala namig o tem igralca identitete skozi konvencionalne odgovor.
_ Obtožujejo: ugibati značaja kartici in razkrila, da je (če je napačna, razkrije svoje).
_ Protect: zagovarjajo nekoga, ali sami (na voljo v krog 3).
_ Motijo: drug predvajalnik prenese svoje pa (v zameno ste ujeli).
_ Kapitan: "kapitan" igralec z znakom pokazala (na voljo za varovala).
_ Pass: izberite kartico zavreči pa red in se (za naslednji krog).
Sprva je morda malo težko vedeti, kaj storiti, vendar igra igra hitro, saj imate samo eno dejanje na krog. Zato ne oklevajte, da preizkusite stvari za prikaz, kako to gre, potem začeti novo igro! Hitro boste dobili pozna možnosti, ki jih vsako dejanje. Tukaj je nekaj nasvetov:
_ V prvem krogu, večinoma potrebujete informacije, tako Preglej in poizvedeti hoteti obstati zelo koristen.
_ Če nekdo na svojo ekipo je odkril in so v nevarnosti, uporabite zaščito! Vendar to lahko zaslužiti vi v trud preveč...
_ Pri drugem krogu, če dovolj informacij je na voljo, bom uporabite obtožujejo da razkrije igralcev ali prenesti najprej igral v tretji krog v obstati zmožen v kapitan!
( mimo dejanje je bistveni del igre!)
_ Motijo je lahko močna, vendar ne pozabite, da bo vas ujeli. Radi bi se zahvalil Seiji Kanai za njegovo prijazno odobritvijo tvoriti elektronsko različico Skrivnost luna, in vzeli čas, da bi test igre z nami! hvala lepa!
Upamo, da boste uživali v odkrivanje novih zadruge/semi-cooperative igra na prizorišče igre!
