Description
In a world of sprockets and gears, in a time before our own, players compete to unlock treasure that has been hidden away for centuries. But the trick is this: you are competing for those rare components that you use to build the keys.
Unlocked is a unique, abstract pattern building game that requires hand management, strategy, and luck to win.
A key is drawn from the key deck and shown to all players. A key is made up of several components that must be build in order to unlock the treasure. Each player is dealt 5 cards. The player to the left of the dealer begins. They draw 2 cards, then with their cards they decide whether to 1) discard, 2) build a key or part of a key, or 3) play cards on other players to disrupt their game play. Play continues clockwise.
Once a player is able to construct the key, in order, from handle to end, then the player is awarded the treasure. The first player to obtain 30 points, wins.
Do you have what it takes? Will you trick the other players into pursuing a treasure only for them to find out that you turned the treasure into nothing? or will you be lucky and find out that your treasure is worth more than you realized?
