Rise of the Amazons (Kickstarter)
A game for 1-4 players (Solo – Competitive – Coop gaming modes). The players take up the role of one of the Amazons below, featuring different classes, characteristics and favorite gods:
Antianera (Scout) Artemis
Penthesilea (Warrior) Ares
Hippolyta (Princess) Hecate
Alcippe (Mystic) Cybele
Along with the help of other Amazons with different abilities (Antiope, Melanippe, Themiskyra, Semiramis, Atalante and others), they try to dominate the ancient world facing heroes such as Hercules and Achilles, as well as monsters like Cerberus, Echidna, Typhon, Medusa and Chimaera; all that while the curse of the gods of Olympus strikes!
The game lasts 3 long rounds, and every round the Amazons have a total of 11 or 10 or 9 action points to use, in order to do 8 actions, naming a few:
Attack: clear an area from an event
Move: Move to an adjacent area of the map
Visit (temple, barrack, port): Each building has a different effect.
Flag: Place your flag on a cleared area, placing toll for anyone that passes by.
Sacrifice: Get the help of one of the 4 friendly gods, in your way for world domination (Artemis, Cybele, Athena, Ares).
Amazonomachy, Supply.
At the end of the 3 rounds, the Amazon that reaches the highest amount of Victory Points, is proclaimed Queen of the Amazons and wins the game.

The rulebook talks a lot but wont offer a guiding hand. Reminds me of those teachers who goes through the lesson but make little effort in fleshing the ideas out or clarifying what they refer to.

I getting pretty tired of poorly written rulebooks, and AlcyonCreative seems to have a lot of those. Some of their rulebooks are good, so I know they can do it. I hope they will prioritize that in the future, since a bad rulebooks is especially damning for a game aiming to be quick and accessible.
