DIG DEEPER INTO THE MECHANICS X: SEEKERS OF FORTUNE
THWART
Thwart, in X: Seekers of Fortune, is a dynamic game mechanic that offers you the thrilling opportunity to counteract your opponent's tactics as they unfold in real-time.
Here's how it works: To perform a Thwart, you must bury (place cards in bottom of lead deck) two matching Lead cards from your hand. This act triggers the Thwart mechanic, allowing you to negate the effect of a Heroic Feat or ActionX Feat as your rival is executing it.
Let's break it down:
The Trigger: Your rival is about to perform a Heroic Feat or ActionX Feat. This is your chance to disrupt their plan.
The Action: In response, you declare a Thwart and bury two matching Lead cards from your hand.
The Effect: By doing so, you effectively "cancel" your rival's ongoing feat, rendering it null and void. This act can be pivotal, protecting your strategy or derailing your rival's well-laid plans.
Remember, timing is everything when it comes to utilizing Thwart. Use it wisely and at the right moment to turn the tide of the game in your favor!
BREAKTHROUGH
Breakthrough is an exhilarating game mechanic in X: Seekers of Fortune that can lead you straight to victory! To activate a Breakthrough, you'll need to discard three identical leads from your hand, enabling you to draw an ActionX card. But that's just the start!
Let's break it down:
Trigger: The "Breakthrough" mechanic is performed when you have three matching leads in your hand.
Effect: You proceed to discard these three matching leads. Following this, you are rewarded with the opportunity to draw from the ActionX deck.
Breakthrough To Victory: The game-changing moment occurs if you are in the final quest and have a total of seven ActionX cards in play, spread between the action zone and the archive zone. Achieving this strategic combination triggers the "Breakthrough" effect, making you the ultimate fortune seeker and the triumphant winner of X: Seekers of Fortune!
SABOTAGE
In X: Seekers of Fortune, Sabotage is a thrilling game mechanic that keeps you on the edge of your seat, allowing you to hinder your rival's progress and secure an advantage for yourself.
Trigger:
The Sabotage move is activated when you choose to discard a lead from your hand and scrap one of your active resources. Discarding a lead represents you surrendering a potential opportunity, while scrapping an active resource reflects you utilizing an asset from your arsenal to trigger the sabotage.
Action:
Once you've paid the cost, you perform the action of the Sabotage: either burying a rival's active adventure or archiving a site or relic.
1. Burying a rival's active adventure- This move is akin to setting up a roadblock in your rival's journey. It halts their ongoing adventure, derailing their strategy and buying you time to forge ahead.
2. Archiving a site or relic - This is you making a mark on the game board, seizing control of a site or relic. By doing this, you remove these assets from the general play area and keep them for potential future use.
Effect:
The result of your Sabotage move is a shift in the game dynamic. It throws a wrench in your rival's plans and grants you an opportunity to get ahead or potentially win the game. Remember, in X: Seekers of Fortune, strategy is key, and knowing when to use Sabotage can turn the tide of the game in your favor.
ON YOUR TURN IF YOUR TIED OR HAVE FEWER COMPLETED ADVENTURES THAN A RIVAL:
DIG WITHIN:
A potent game mechanic in X: Seekers of Fortune. It embodies the concept of sacrificing what you have now for the promise of greater discoveries down the line.
Trigger: Dig Within springs into action when you scrap a map from your play area. This symbolizes that you're willing to let go of a known path, trusting in the possibility of finding more valuable leads.
Action: Once the map is scrapped, you then draw two lead cards from the draw pile. This represents your effort to dig deeper, delving into the unknown, and potentially discovering leads that might bring you closer to your goals.
Effect: The outcome of Dig Within is a refreshed strategy and potentially game-changing leads that could bring you closer to victory. This mechanic reinforces the notion that in the quest for fortune, sometimes you have to take risks and let go of what you have to make room for new opportunities.
