Let customers speak for us
Experience in the box
Experience the most read book in history
While playing, you get to experience the masterpiece novel: face bold decisions, devious strategies and a dash of chaos.
This is what we believe games to be about: letting you experience different emotions!
1. Choose an adventure
Each adventure increases one Don Quixote's attribute: love, glory, delusion or obsession.
2. Play characters
Play character cards to vote on the outcome of the adventure and determine which attributes wins. You can use special items for extra surprise, e.g. play the donkey to add 3 votes!
3. The winning attribute moves up
In the example above, delusion (blue) wins: blue cards are now worth more points! Next round you might want to play blue cards for points alone. But will delusion be the top attribute at the end?
4. Prepare for sudden turn of events
In part 2, rivers come into play!
Tokens must take the river shortcuts, allowing for some bluffs and surprise value increases. At the end of the game, each card will score you points equal to the value of the corresponding attribute.
