Wild West Update! New board and piece design, plus new camera angles, new rules, and bug fixes. I have added a stone and ruby underworld, an Emerald and wood Earth, and a Gold and Marble Heaven.
The player starts off on Earth and has the choice to draw cards to move on Earth or move down a platform to enter the Underworld.
The player cannot enter another platform (Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld) when it shares the same position as any enemy. The player also can't hire a trainer or the blacksmith when the player shares the same position as any enemy.
On Earth, there is a trainer that can teach you how to kill the Earth enemy in exchange for two Earth currency or one Heaven Currency. You have to land on the Earth enemy first once you are trained to kill the Earth enemy.
There is a rare gem in the underworld that can be found and brought to the blacksmith on Earth. The black smith can forge a blade out of the rare gem in exchange for currency (the same prices as the trainer on Earth). The blade forged from the rare gem by the black smith can kill any enemy on the board, supernatural or on Earth, if you land on the enemy first.
Bring the blade forged from the underworld gem to the guardian angels in heaven to become the most powerful on the board, being able to kill any enemy in any situation, winning the game.
The player also has a side quest to save a man’s wife who is locked up in the underworld who knew everything about existence. When the wife is freed, she will quickly show you the way back to Earth. The reward is that the husband will give you two Heaven currency. Acquire heaven currency to bribe the Underworld guard to avoid losing the game when the underworld guard lands on your position. Please remember that saving the wife from the underworld can possibly cost you the game even though the husband will reward you with two Heaven currency. If the Underworld guard stumbles upon the empty cell that the wife was locked in, the Underworld guard will come find you on Earth, the Underworld, and will wait on Earth for you to fall or return from the Heavens.
The Heaven guard is forgiving to an extent. The Heaven guard allows his angels to fall to Earth and find their way back to heaven. The player in the game is the only mortal that knows that falling from heaven won’t kill you, but rather allow you to fall in order to enter heaven again. If the Heaven Guard catches the player roaming Heaven, it will revoke all the Heaven currency obtained by the player and send the player back to Earth. If the player enters Heaven again, the player will eventually die falling from Heaven back to Earth due to the Heaven Guard’s lack of forgiveness. From this situation, the only way the player can survive heading back to Earth after being caught by the Heaven guard is by entering Heaven and making it to the next entrance to heaven at the other side of the board and entering Earth again.
The player will always bribe the Earth enemy with Earth currency. When Earth currency runs out, the player will attempt to bribe the Earth enemy with Heaven currency, changing the politics on the board.
Be careful with acquiring heaven currency and roaming Earth. If the Earth enemy finds out about heaven currency, it will become greedy and head to the heavens. When the heaven guard finds out that heaven currency is being distributed on Earth, it will come find you on all three platforms. If the heaven guard finds out that the underworld guard has heaven currency, it will kill the underworld guard, a good tactic to know.
Politics are involved on the board when the Earth enemy discovers heaven currency. Both the trainer and the blacksmith on Earth will only accept Heaven currency in exchange for their services. Earth currency becomes obsolete due to the demand of Heaven currency on Earth after the Earth enemy is bribed with heaven currency. When the Earth enemy enters the Heavens, and the Heaven guard catches the Earth enemy with Heaven Currency, the Heaven guard will send the Earth enemy back to Earth, revoking all Heaven currency from the Earth enemy. From then on, Earth currency will have value to the black smith and trainer again, and the Earth enemy will only be bribed by Earth currency again as it will fear getting caught with Heaven currency by the Heaven guard. Currency on the board goes back to normal.
