Numerica
A downloadable game
Numerica is a board game where you must alter the board to weaken your enemies and strengthen yourself, being always alert for the arrival of the end of the game.
- Start the game by assembling the board with the cells (tile cards) in a grid. These cells must be randomly located and randomly rotated and flipped between front and back. This way they will form an unique starting board for each game.
- With more than 50 different cells, boards can get as big as 7x7 squares that will make the game a long experience or just 4x4 or 5x5 that will turn it into a quick game. Depending, of course, on the number of people playing the game.
- Numbers in the cells will show you which cells are connected and which are not. That will indicate how to move the pawns and how to expand your dominion over the board. Change cells with actions to make it easier for you to expand.
- Use action cards to change the board and complicate things for your adversaries. You can eliminate one or more of its pawns or even steal one pawn and make it yours. You can do as many actions as you want in the same turn to make unexpected combos of actions to shift the course of the game.
- Numerica will make you think how to expand your pawns in the board. It is esay to feel confident but in just a game lots of things could change. Pawns are easily made and lost, but victory is not as easily accomplished. The game only finishes when all the board is completed and the one with more points wins. But there is a trap here, choose well where to place your pawns because not all places will be good.
REQUIREMENTS
To play Numerica you will need to print and cut all the cards you will download in the componets file. The rules of the game are in the other file.
Apart from it you would need some tokens to play the game, this tokens are referred as pawns in the rule booklet. 52 pawns are needed for ecah player if you go for the largest board configuration but you will need as much pawns as cells you are going to play with. Anything can make for a pawn as long as it differentiates players and can be placed on the cells.

Numerica, was first designed as a physical board game and so it is. Apart from this print-and-play alternative numerica is released in the print on demand web The Game Crafter.
There yo can buy it and get a physical copy fully printed in proffesional materials. As it is printed on demand it can be too expensive for the average consumer. Feel free to try the pnp version first and if you like it, support the development by buying the physical copy.

Numerica was an indie production, if you could call a solo journey in board game development as indie, made posible by great testers and a lot of support. A lot of time has being put in this first game so I hope you enjoy it.
