Too Many Kobolds is a card game for 2 to 5 players in which players are dragons adopting kobolds to keep them company in their cave. Each turn, players choose a new kobold card and place it in their cave, trying to make the kobolds happy based on resources (colours) they ask for. Each kobold has a colour and symbol corresponding to a type of resource they provide (crytal – purple, water – blue, moss – green, coins – yellow, etc.) They provide this resource to all their neighbours placed around them.
Players start with their Dragon as the first card in their cave and can adopt kobolds from a deck of cards which is the queue of kobolds who responded to the dragons’ classified ad and came to be adopted. The game ends when all players’ caves are full, and the dragon who scores the most points at the end wins the game! (Each dragon plays in a cave which is 5 cards wide and 3 cards high). To help, before adopting a kobold, players can also use Dragon Powers, but they can be used only once per game!
The game can be played with family or friends without any problem. It offers different levels of gameplay depending on if you are just having fun making your kobolds happy or trying to optimize your kobolds in your cave to get the highest score (count 10min per player) The rules sheets will be available in both French and English. The cards are all international (no text, only art and numbers) save for the dragon powers which have their name written in FR and EN. You can play the game with everyone!
Be careful! Facetious goblins have disguised themselves as kobolds to try to get adopted by the Dragons! They do not give any point and cannot be made happy. Some kobolds are also easy to make happy, but they might not give a lot of points! You will also discover other special kobolds in the game, like the kobold mom, kobold kids, and dragon fans!
