djpakammWelcome to *[blue]Pier 18[/blue]*! A pier-building, card-drafting game for [green]2 to 3[/green] players that uses just [red]18[/red] cards! Players take turns [blue]taking and placing[/blue] pier cards lengthwise from left to right on their personal pier, [green]scoring points in the process[/green] Let's get *building*!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

djpakammTo start each game, we get to choose our [green]first[/green] pier card and our [red]last[/red] pier card We will choose the *Language of Flowers* card as our [green]starting[/green] pier card and *Romanticism* card as our [blue]plan[/blue]2setupCards_item_3

djpakammYour [blue]plan card[/blue] is the last card you will place at the end of the game. [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ec73cb9669.02659923.png[/img] It serves as a [green]goal[/green] for the duration of the game, in this case you need to make sure you have the *more* Lovers than Flower Sellers and Fishers on your pier order to score [red]4 bonus points[/red] Here are more examples...1plan_goal_15

djpakammThere is also... [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ec74076ec1.07011186.png[/img] *# or more* of X, or... [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ec7432ddc8.85562158.png[/img] *Same amount* of X and X on each side, or...2plan_card_1_1

djpakamm[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ec74645116.93207898.png[/img] More X on the *Ocean side* (right), or... [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ec7490bbe5.37048420.png[/img] More X on the *Base side* (left) !!! Goals vary between the 2 and 3 player version3plan_card_15_16

djpakammThere are [green]4 Patron icons[/green] that score differently as you place cards on your pier. [blue]*Poets*[/blue] score 1 point for every 2 icons no matter the location. *Fishers* score 1 point only for each icon on the *side that has the most*. If you have [green]3[/green] on the top side, and [red]1[/red] on the bottom, you will only score [green]3[/green] points4btnSymbolReference

djpakamm*Flower Sellers* score 1 point for every other icon placed next to it [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ec74bd7aa8.77032292.png[/img] Each of these examples would score [red]3[/red] points !!! For the example on the right, only 1 Flower Seller will score5btnSymbolReference

djpakamm*[red]Lovers[/red]* score 2 points when the two spaces on either side are *empty* [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ec74ee1b72.12854566.png[/img] Each of these icons would score [red]2[/red] points [tip] If there is not a space on either end of the pier, it is considered an open space when scoring Lovers6btnSymbolReference

djpakammQuick word on placement: you can choose to line up the next card on [blue]one of the four zones[/blue] marked on the card. You [red]cannot[/red] overlap cards *completely*, you must leave the bottom space on the card open. You can also [green]choose not[/green] to overlap any spaces on the pier at all Finally, let's place a card!7pier_place_1_1

djpakammNow it's time to draft and place the first card. You are the [green]first player[/green] this round, so you have the most options! Select the *Tussie Mussie* card and place it on the open end of your pier, and click *[red]Confirm[/red]*8pier_place_4_4

djpakammI am going to take the *Solstice* card, that leaves the *Leisure Pier* left over. The icon on the card (hover over the card) shows that the player with the highest score in the *Fishers* will receive this card worth [green]1 bonus[/green] point1draftCards_item_14

djpakammEach of us scored *1 Fisher*, so the tie break is based on the most recent card we placed. The card with the [red]most recent date[/red] is the tie breaker.2pier_date_4

djpakammPlay continues until there are [red]no more cards[/red] left to draft, then players place their [blue]plan card[/blue] on the end of their pier. That is also when the [green]4 bonus points[/green] will be scored if you completed the goal. The highest score wins! Now it's time to try it for yourself Hope you found this helpful, enjoy!3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment
