From the publisher:
The realm is defended, but the sword of protection is broken! The king has called on the best Swordcrafters to forge a replacement.
In Swordcrafters you will compete to forge the finest sword. The sword is crafted throughout the course of the game and eventually scored based on its length, quality, and magic. To play, each round you’re allowed a single cut in a grid of sword tiles, resulting in a slash or separation within the grid. After you and your opponents make your cuts, you then select one of the resulting groupings of sword tiles and assemble them into your blade. Gameplay continues until there are no longer enough sword tiles remaining to form a new grid, after which scoring occurs. It is up to you, the Swordcrafter, to strategically select the strongest tiles for your particular blade. Will you aggressively select the pieces necessary to craft the strongest sword, or work to sabotage the creations of your opponents?
Swords are held together by a dual slotted sword tiles. Each player starts with a sword hilt and competes to imbue their blade with up to six gem types. The gem types will ultimately determine your sword’s quality and add to your final score.
During scoring, players hold their swords in the center of the table to compare length… but length alone will not determine a winner. Sword quality is scored next based on the highest number of adjacent matching gems on each side of the blade. Finally, sword magic is scored based on the highest sum of any two gem types. Only by combining all 3 factors–length, quality, and magic–will you determine the finest Swordcrafter in the land.
Swordcrafters is an innovative 3D sword-building game where the player crafts and holds their sword throughout the course of the game. The game utilizes traditional board game components in a new and unique fashion, and features a unique and thematic “I cut, you choose” game mechanic.
From BoardGameGeek:
Swordcrafters Expanded Edition includes the Swordcrafters base game and expands on the game with three exciting new modules that can be played singly or combined. The sword of protection has broken again. The king has opened up the forgotten tomb granting you access to Sword Mastery, Sword Relics, and Sword Tips.
In Swordcrafters, players compete to forge the best sword scoring based on length, quality, and magic. Each round, each player makes one cut in a grid of sword tiles to create a separation. After the separations phase, each player selects one grouping of sword tiles and assembles them into their sword. When there are not enough sword tiles to form a new grid, scoring occurs.
Players hold their swords in the center of the table to score based on length. Sword quality is based on the highest number of adjacent matching gems on each side of the sword. Sword magic scoring is based on the relevant gems required by each of three sword magic cards.
The Expanded Edition layers in three exciting new modules: Relics, Tips, and Mastery. Relics add new tiles to the grid creating more importance on your set collection expertise. Tips grant players two additional goals that score based on their sword. Mastery challenges players to complete mini-goals throughout the game.
The enemies are growing stronger and the King has asked you to craft an enhanced sword of protection using:
- Sword Mastery: claim each round to hone your blade
- Sword Relics: Add fragments of the past to the grid to keep your slices and selections intense
- Sword Tips: personal goals test how sharp you truly are
Contents include the full base game plus three modules to mix and match for amazing replay value.
