Dewan (NL) - Space Cowboys

Dewan is a strategy game for 2 to 4 players. You play as a tribe searching for new land and enough food. You travel across a board with mountains, forests, deserts, and rivers, and set up camps there.

You collect cards featuring those terrains. You use those cards to pay for your route across the board. Your story tiles contain objectives, and you try to achieve them by placing your camps. At the end, the player with the most points wins.

On your turn, you do only one thing:

• Draw two cards: you take two terrain cards lying side by side in the open row. The row is then replenished.
• Place a camp: you choose an empty space as your destination. For each space on your route, you discard a card of that terrain, including for the starting and ending spaces. You cannot end on a water space.
• Collect benefits: with a new camp, you collect a berry lying there, for example. You can also receive new story tiles or extra benefits on your starboard side.

Example: your camp is in a forest and you want to go to a mountain space next to it. Then you discard a forest card and a mountain card and place a new camp there. If you pass an opponent's camp, they get the card you used for that.

When a player has placed their last camp, everyone finishes the round. Whoever then has the most points wins.

• One action per turn You only have to choose between drawing cards and placing a camp. That keeps the game fast.
• Plan wisely with limited camps You only have a limited number of camps. So you need to look for story tiles that go well together.
• Battle for spots and cards Each area has room for one camp. Whoever is faster gets the best spot.
