Come and Join The Fun!
Who will be the most successful knight in the kingdom? The tournaments will test knights of all ages, and only one will be victorious. Use your cards to win the jousting competitions, and to fight with your sword, axe or morning-star. Rally your squires, gain the support of a maiden, and play action cards against your opponents.
This popular card game is easy to learn and fun to play, with strategic decisions to be made as the game unfolds. How many cards of a color will you have in hand, and how many supporters, to remain in the tournament? If the competition gets tough, when is it smarter to withdraw and wait for the next tournament? When should you use the maiden, or an action card, or Ivanhoe himself? Can you hold off an opponent with 3 tokens to get that winning fourth token yourself? Come and find out!
A teaching demo will be scheduled before the first heat. The rules for the tournament play will be straight out of the box. Most of the games will be 5-players, with some 4-player games (four different colored tokens will be required to win the game).
During the heats, the individual games start as soon as there are 5 players and a copy of the game (please bring your copy, if you have one!). Games can be over in as little as 15 minutes, but the average game is just under an hour. Any game reaching 90 minutes may be adjudicated at that point, except for the Final round.
POINTS PER GAME
The game ends when one player wins their fourth colored token. Players will receive points for each token in their possession at the end of the game, as follows:
Purple token – 105 points
Green token – 104 points
Yellow token – 103 points
Blue token – 102 points
Red token – 101 points
