About the Game
8 Gates is a tile laying and hand building card game for three or four players.
Players will draw and place Gate cards in the middle, next to existing Gate cards to trigger abilities and score points, depending on where the Gate card is placed. Each player has a single opportunity to have a double turn, but doing so decreases their hand size. And hand size is important, because each player is also secretly building a scoring hand for the end of the game (either a Run or a Set).
The Archivist keeps track of scores and always takes the last turn, but begins with less cards than the other players. At the end of the Archivist’s 4th turn (5th in a 3 player game), the game ends, hands are revealed, and the player with the most points wins!
