The Scarlet Pimpernel, with his League, bravely rescues the innocent from the Committee of Public Safety and the guillotine. As a league member, your goal is to help The Scarlet Pimpernel complete seven missions, especially saving the young Dauphin. In the game, players reveal a mission card with a location and requirements. You score points by placing cubes on the board. Although you work together, the highest - scoring player becomes The Scarlet Pimpernel's most trusted advisor. Gameplay starts with the first - player - marker holder and goes clockwise. On your turn, take an action or pass, and you can use a rest cube later. The round ends when all mission spaces have cubes or all players pass. After seven missions, the player with the most points wins. We're excited to offer this game at TheGameSteward and use a large part of your spending to back new Kickstarter games.

Using this Scarlet Pimpernel board game is easy. First, make sure you have all the components from the set, including the core game, upgraded player meeples, Special Favor boards and tiles, and the exclusive First Player Marker. To start, the player with the First Player Marker begins the game, and then it goes clockwise. On your turn, you can either take an action, like the basic action on your player tile (move your pawn or place a cube) or use an action from a Special Favor tile you've collected. You can also use a rest cube after your first action. When placing a cube in one of the six planning areas, take the corresponding Special Favor tile and card. Keep in mind that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign aren't part of the standard set unless otherwise stated. After each round, check if all five mission spaces have cubes or if all players have passed. If so, complete the current mission. After seven missions, count the points to find the winner. To maintain the game, store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid bending the cards or scratching the boards. If any pieces get dirty, you can gently clean them with a soft, dry cloth. Have fun playing and may you become The Scarlet Pimpernel's most trusted advisor!
