Bayala 2019

The magical land of Bayala is in danger. As the dragons have almost become extinct, magic is also disappearing from Bayala.

Work together to transport the dragon egg on the back of the unicorn to its parents in the Dragon Mountains and unite your fairy tribes at the magical Dragon‘s Feast. This is the only way to once again seal the bond between fairies and dragons. An exciting race game with some initial strategic elements.

Players take turns in clockwise direction, resolving one of their 3 active cards’ actions revealed from their personal deck. The cards show 1 of 4 different actions:

Take 1 die from the reserve dice pool and perform the action shown on the selected die, Take 2 dice from the reserve, one after the other, and perform their actions (re-roll all dice once the dice pool is diminished), Re-roll all dice, then take 1 to perform its action, Move the unicorn one space forward and perform the action shown on the tile the unicorn moved to.

Actions are to either move the players’ playing piece or the unicorn forwards: Some of the actions are immediate (move your piece to the next eagle symbol; 1-3 spaces forwards), some are delayed (collect 3 wolf tokens to move 4 spaces forwards) or are luck based (flip a coin to see if you move to the next raccoon symbol or stay put).

If players don’t manage to get the unicorn to the Dragon Mountains before the first player reaches the festival ground with their fairy tribe playing piece, players lost the game together.

Manage to get the unicorn to the Dragon Mountains first to restore magic. The game is won by the first fairy tribe that reaches the festival ground. All other tribes join in to celebrate the magical Dragon‘s Feast together: Bayala is saved!
