Skills Pack
Everyone’s got a gimmick now. Engineer, thief, medic, diplomat and more. Choose a character and use your skills to beat or help your friends. Unique and more tactical ways to survive against your dear friends are waiting for you in this expansion pack.
Setup
Skills Expansion comes with 7 unique character classes to expand the Board Royale® The Island base game. Each class has 7 skills (4 Temporary, 3 Permanent Skill) that are associated with that class. Skill cards of the classes unlock at the beginning of each round. Survivalist has an exception, but we will come to that later.
Before starting the game all players pick one character class to play with and places the skill cards in front of them face-down in order from the lowest tier to the highest.
Once the preparation round ends, each player reveals their first, the lowest tier skill card of their class facing up and the game starts.
Rules & Exceptions
1) At the start of each round, all players reveal their next skill.
2) Skill cards cannot be destroyed, looted, taken or traded.
3) Each class has its own advantages and some of them rely on different actions to be followed through the game.
4) Survivalist’s first skill comes active at the beginning of the game (not after preparation round) and always continues 1 skill tier ahead.
Revive
Revived players cannot be attacked till their next turn and previously used skills abilities don’t reset. The revived player comes back to the game with the same skill tier with other players.
Redirect
You cannot redirect an attack back to the attacker (unless the explanation especially stated). If there are no other available targets to redirect the incoming attack, then the attack is simply ignored.
Note: There are temporary and permanent skills for each class. Mind the ability bonus and use amounts to avoid any game-breaking actions that might occur.
Skill Classes
Each class comes with 7 skills that are associated with that class. Skills unlock at the beginning of each round. Once the preparation round ends, each player reveals their first, the lowest tier skill card of their class facing up and the game starts. At the start of each round, all players reveal their next skill.
