OVERVIEW
In the dark corners of Kulbak Prison, away from the prying eyes of the guards, you're likely to find inmates huddled together in secret, playing a game of Goblin Vaults.


Goblin Vaults is a strategy card game for 1-5 players featuring bidding, card placement, and scoring patterns. In the game, you wager cards to win loot from the central cell block, then stash that loot wisely in your vault, earning gears based on the position of cards within that vault. You can also gain gears from scoring objectives that change each game.

With cunning and clever scheming, make your bid to be feared amongst your peers! You'll need wits and luck to play your cards right as you fill your vault and influence the warden in your favor. After nine rounds, whoever has the most gears wins!

GAMEPLAY

Goblin Vaults is played over nine rounds. Each round has three phases:
  1. SCHEME PHASE - Each player bids on a card in the central cell block. Play a high card to win the bid or play a low card to keep it for yourself. Or match the warden suit to earn a bonus action.
  2. VAULT PHASE - Stash loot in your vault to earn gears based on multiple scoring conditions. Earn gears based on the position of cards in your vault, their suit, or card patterns.​
  3. WARDEN PHASE - Swap the warden card to boost the strength of a card suit in the next round.
