Hi everyone,
This week I'm going to share with you how the game Accidental Possession works - you've been getting excited about the cards and animations shared on our website and wondering how you play this game! The good news is - it's a fun, fast-paced and easy to learn game.
How many can play? You will need to gather 3 or more of your friends - we have currently tested the game with 6 people playing, and we are going to test how the gameplay is with 8 before we say it's playable up to that number.
Who can play? We have tested the game with people from the age of 13 to 69! The age range is pretty wide, and they have all had a great time playing.
How long does the game last? Depending on the number of people, and your detective skills, the game can vary from 20mins to about an hour. I would add that usually, we end up playing it more than once!
How do we play? The game is played both with meeples on a board and cards. The board (design update to come) is the floorplan for Arvind's house, Elixir Manor, and you are his friends coming to help him exorcise the ghost that he let escape. You move through the Manor, collecting objects, ingredients for potions, chasing the person suspected of being possessed by the ghost, or if you're the possessed one - running away from others, whilst trying to win the game yourself!
The gameplay is pretty simple in that each turn you can do 2 of 6 actions (snapshots taken from the rulebook subject to change):
1) Move one space through the Manor
2) Draw one card from the deck
3) Place one card face up in front of you
4) Use a Potion card that is face up in front of you
5) Pass a face up card to another player
6) Play an action card
So, how do you win the game? The key if you're trying to exorcise the ghost is using the Purge Potion card on the possessed player (see card below to the left), and if you're the ghost you simply have to collect two cards and go to the room stated on the mission card (see example card below to the right). There are a number of 'Ghost Mission Cards', so it's going to be a challenge to find the ghost, and there are cards that allow the ghost to move from player to player!
We are currently carrying out more playtesting of the game, so by the time the game is released, there may be some changes/ tweaks to the gameplay described above.
Are you ready for the challenge?! Share with your friends, follow us on Instagram (@ync.games) and support us here - we will launch our game on Kickstarter when we have interest from 500+ people!
