Konja

Konja is a two-player game developed by Pleasant Company Games set in a magical world where players compete against each other to collect valuable gems and be the first to reach the top of the mountain. With beautiful artwork and clever game mechanics, Konja is a game that is easy to learn, but challenging to master.

The setup of the game is simple: each player controls a character - Konja, the warrior, or Kiboro, the shaman - and a set of 10 action cards. The board represents the mountain and is divided into different regions, each with its own type of terrain and associated gems. At the beginning of the game, players place their characters at the bottom of the mountain and draw three cards from their deck.

When it is their turn, players choose one of their cards and reveal it at the same time. Each card has two actions: a movement action and a special action. The movement action allows the player to move their character a certain number of spaces in a certain direction, depending on the card they played. The special action can be used before or after movement, and allows the player to perform various actions, such as collecting gems, blocking the opponent's movement, or drawing additional cards.

The goal of the game is to be the first player to reach the top of the mountain and claim the legendary gem. To do so, players must carefully plan their moves, collect gems along the way and use their special actions wisely to gain an advantage over their opponent.

One of the things that sets Konja apart from other games is its unique scoring system. Instead of just counting the number of gems collected, players must also take into account the types of gems they have collected and the areas they have visited. Each gem has a different point value, and certain combinations of gems are worth bonus points. In addition, players receive points if they are the first to reach each region of the mountain and if they have the most gems of a certain type at the end of the game.

Konja is a wonderful game that offers a lot of strategic depth and replayability. The artwork is beautiful, the gameplay is engaging, and the scoring system is smart and intuitive. Whether you are a seasoned gamer or a casual player looking for a fun and challenging game to play with friends or family, Konja is well worth playing.
