Gnomistic (2023)

Gnomistic is a competitive game of tactics, strategy, hand management, set collection and other various mechanisms for 1 to 6 players. SHORT OVERVIEW: Imagine that you and your friends are on an excursion in a forest in Ireland, when suddenly, someone yells “I have seen a gnome!”. Now, a magical wave of greed controls your mind and the only thing that matters is getting the gnome's pot of gold at any cost, so you must guide yourself from the correct signs on the way to get it. Play different signal cards on the correct path when the time is right and if it pairs with another matching card, you get them all. This will cause you to have a lot of cards in your play area (a lot, and it feels strange and satisfying!), but you will need even more to be able to complete the positive sets and avoid the negative ones, and then save those cards in the only safe place where no one can take them away: your chest. But be careful, you should also be aware of the right time to save them, because bad things can happen if you save too soon, if you miss the perfect opportunity or if you accidentally complete negative sets, if you run out of coins or if someone uses magic cards against you ... And if the latter happens, don't worry ... maybe you can get revenge sooner than you think and with twice the strength. —description from the publisher
