Play characters to shape the plot
Players simultaneously play character cards to determine the outcome of Don Quixote's adventures and move one of DQ's love, delusion, glory or obsession.
At the end of the game, you will score points for achieving your personal secretive objective. Each character you played is associated with one of DQ's attributes, and it will also score you bonus points depending on its value.
Can you understand other players plan and adapt your strategy to take advantage of it?

Game play: plan your strategy and surprise other players
🤠 Like in the book, things will heat up in the second part of the game. DQ's attributes will take river shortcuts, creating surprising turn of events and allowing you to come up with a number of strategies
😏You can use special items to help you plan a surprise, for example playing a timely donkey to add extra votes and swing the vote of a critical adventure, or using a poison to have other players play one round blindly

Game experience: capturing the spirit of the book
We aimed to capture the spirit of the classic novel when designing the game.
While each person is different and will of course feel different emotions, we try to have players experience a mix of devious strategies, bold decisions, some whimsical moments and a dash of chaos.
