It's the Kickstarter Edition of The North Board Game by Small Box Games, including the core game and all unlocked stretch goals. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. In a frigid world of snow and metal, once a dream of the Ancestors but now in ruins, you don't quite belong yet. However, you can reprogram this place and restart systems according to your protocols. Another player has also awakened across the tundra with the same plan. The North is a 60 - card combo building game with multi - use cards, deck building, and hand management. By encountering, capturing, and reprogramming Ancients in the Wastes, building Facilities, and powering up Nodes, players uncover the secrets of The North. They can reduce the other player's points in various ways and earn points at the end of the game for the cards they've acquired and used. The easy - to - grasp action system and versatile Ancient cards make each game unique, thanks to variable starting cards.
To play The North board game, start by setting up the core game components as described in the rulebook. You'll have a set of starting cards, and since they vary, each game will be different. The goal is to encounter, capture, and reprogram Ancients in the Wastes, build Facilities, and power up Nodes. When you do these things, you can uncover the secrets of The North. Try to diminish your opponent's points in different ways and earn points for the cards you use and acquire by the end of the game. Remember, this is the Kickstarter Edition, which includes the core game and all unlocked stretch goals, but paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Keep the cards in a dry and clean place to avoid damage. If the cards get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. When you're done playing, store the game in its box to keep all the components together.
