To survive and triumph over the Octoman: manage your hand of cards to the best of your ability, dodge the Octoman and lure it onto your companions of misfortune. A game of Octorage takes place in several rounds.
During their turn, players will be able to play a:
– Weapon card, whose value must be greater or equal to the last card played. If the card is an 8, then the Octoman’s rage is increased by 1.
– Dodge card, which changes the direction of the turn.
– Treasure card, which curses another player and decreases his chances of survival. If a player can’t or does not want to play a card, then he is attacked by the Octoman.
He loses as many tokens of life as the Rage value of the Octoman.
If a player loses his last token of life, then he is eliminated. A round ends when only one player remains alive. As soon as a player wins 2 rounds, he wins the game.
